StoreDot, the developer of extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology ( earlier post ), says it will soon be manufacturing silicon-dominant batteries that enable car makers to design and produce cheaper, lighter and more sustainable EVs. This technology will deliver 100 miles (160 km) of range in just five minutes of charge.

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck The top of the pile when it comes to attention, the Cybertruck just about broke the internet when Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen broke two of its windows during the global unveil late in 2019. It has now re-established it as an electrified sub-brand of GMC.

Sid runs a mech design back office, with a team of about 40 people. This is a hybrid design, as in quite a few parts that are used are from a conventional ICE tractor. I can understand the need for maintaining capital cost parity with an equivalent diesel tractor. Syed ji is providing his expertise with batteries.

Co-Optima’s premise is that current fuels constrain engine design—and thus engine efficiency. Thrust 1 builds on the significant amount of work carried out over the past several decades, focused on building advanced boosted, downsized, and downspeeded spark ignition engines. We’re not going to say “Ethanol.

This CO 2 level is comparable to that emitted by equivalent sized full hybrid vehicles, yet avoids their need for high voltage and the significant impact a hybrid’s large batteries and traction motors have on overall vehicle cost, mass and packaging. Hence the industry trend to dual-charging systems, CPT notes.
