EV Everywhere Blueprint outlines DOE technical and development goals for EVs for 2022

Green Car Congress

In the near-term (2012-2017), DOE sees an opportunity to more than double the battery pack energy density from 100 Wh/kg to 250 Wh/kg through the use of new high-capacity cathode materials, higher voltage electrolytes, and the use of high capacity silicon or tin- based intermetallic alloys to replace graphite anodes. —Blueprint.

Building a Zero Trust Security Model for Autonomous Systems

Cars That Think

Just last year, a half dozen precisely targeted malicious drones managed to slow oil production in Saudi Arabia for days, and more recently, several low-cost drones caused significant damage to oil tankers in the UAE. Modern system-on-chip designs can accelerate product development for performant and low-cost chip functionality.

EcoG helps EVSE manufacturers streamline the process of bringing new products to market

Charged EVs

The company was founded by three former Siemens professionals in 2017. The EcoG Starter Kit prototyping environment is a fully-functional DC and AC charger that allows customers to modify components, develop their own applications, and verify charging functionality. And that’s what we believe is going to happen.
