What does 2023 have in store for electric vehicles?

Blink Charging

It’s the perfect time to look into the future and see what the coming year has in store for electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging infrastructure. . Many companies continue to try and improve batteries, not just for EVs, but for power storage in general. In the EVs themselves, the software is becoming more powerful.

Continental Voltage Stabilization System with Maxwell Ultracapacitors to power start-stop in Cadillac ATS and CTS as standard

Green Car Congress

In start-stop systems, the internal combustion engine is shut off when the driver stops and the engine is seamlessly restarted when the driver accelerates, which lowers emissions and improves fuel economy. Unlike batteries, which produce and store energy by means of a chemical reaction, ultracapacitors store energy in an electric field.

Enabling Electric Vehicle Charging in Condominiums

Wallbox

80% of EV charging takes place at work or home. However, while installing a charging station at your house is fairly simple, doing so in condominiums can be more tricky. It’s simple: If you live in the condo and own an EV, having an EV charger on-site will allow you to charge up your car at home for utmost convenience.

New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V) V in O 2 (gas) → O x− (condensed phase), and η charging > 1.1

A More Detailed Look at a Prismatic Li-ion Cell and Pack Manufacturing Process

Green Car Congress

During charging the process is reversed with ions and electrons traveling from the cathode to anode. Dave Hahn, EnerDel’s director of component manufacturing, said the process is very similar to making audio tapes although the coating is thicker for a battery (note: audio tapes were a common way of storing music in the 20 th century).
