Top Factors Affecting EV Adoption

EV Connect

Cost (and Cost Comparison) A recent study showed 67% of would-be purchasers claim cost is a primary concern. EV Connect conforms to the stringent standards set by the U.S. Companies like EV Connect continue to drive the industry forward with charging solutions. We’re currently approved for over $2.6

Zytek Shows Electric A-Class Demonstrator with Uprated 55kW E-Drive; Developed in 10 Weeks

Green Car Congress

The 55kW E-Drive fits neatly onto the existing engine mounting points with just three additional connections (water, high voltage electrics and low voltage electrics). Power is provided by two air-cooled sodium nickel chloride battery packs, integrated under the floor of the vehicle so they don’t compromise luggage space or vehicle stability.

Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources. When the electrodes are externally connected, redox reactions proceed in tandem at both electrodes to deliver energy.

Software also allows for the decoupling of the internal mechanical connections needed in an ICE vehicle, permitting an EV to be controlled remotely or autonomously. An added benefit is that the loss of the ICE powertrain not only reduces the components a vehicle requires, but also frees up space for increased passenger comfort and storage.
