In order to achieve its target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by the same year,…

Why effective battery recycling will soon be required, and why future-proof battery designs should be the main priority 

Not only is the battery market one of the biggest in the world, but it is also the one with the biggest growth potential. In 2020, there were 185GWh of batteries available globally. Many reliable sources predict that the market would grow tenfold in less than a decade. A CAGR of almost 27% is projected for the years 2020 to 2030, resulting in a market volume of 2035 GWh for batteries by that time.  However, the recently disclosed data by SNE Research, which rated the overall market volume to 296,62GWh in 2021, which is almost 6% above the predicted demand in 2021, tends to make these numbers look too conversational.  The primary engine for the anticipated expansion is the transportation sector, which also includes the vital EV passenger car market. When commercial EVs are included, the demand for batteries is projected to increase from 100GWh in 2020 to over 1700GWh in 2030. The large growth in demand puts a lot of strain on battery suppliers, who must quickly expand their capacity to produce affordable traction batteries, particularly in Europe.   Since EVs require charging, the overall energy demand will rise sharply as the number of EVs increases. Peak shaving or buffer…

The Skateboard Effect’s Effect on EV Space: A Full-size Interior with a Mid-Size Body 

EVs are roomier than gas cars for another reason, smart design. The skateboard system is a design used by VW, Ford, and other EV automakers. Due to where an EV’s wheels are mounted, this method gives EVs a space advantage.    Imagine a gasoline vehicle as a set of skates, and an electric vehicle as a skateboard. The wheels in a pair of skates are positioned rather closely together beneath the skate body. Everything is jammed in between the front and rear wheels; there isn’t much space between them.  Conversely, the wheels of a skateboard are spaced much farther apart under the skateboard platform. EVs still place everything between the wheels, just like a gas automobile, but because of the different wheel spacing design, there is a lot more interior space.  Batteries, brakes, motors, and other essential components are dispersed along the’skateboard’ platform, usually inside the platform to leave a level basis for the EV’s outside framework and interior design. In addition to providing EVs with more internal room than gas vehicles, the skateboard design also lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle, improving handling.  You can quickly see how interior space expands when you consider that EVs require considerably…

Technode Global: Technological breakthroughs make electric vehicle batteries explosion-proof 

According to Technode Global – Singapore’s leading technology and innovation newspaper, the lithium-ion batteries used in VinFast electric vehicles are considered safe, thanks to breakthrough technologies applied in the production of electric vehicle batteries. .  Regarding the recent apartment fire in Vietnam, some speculation suggests that the cause is related to electric vehicle batteries. However, the final cause was determined to originate from a gasoline motorbike. This raises the question: Are electric cars or gasoline cars more likely to cause fires?  Thanks to advanced manufacturing technology, lithium-ion batteries are now considered to have a high level of safety. New technologies in electric vehicle batteries, especially improvements in fire resistance, are a key element of the green revolution. These technological breakthroughs not only solve battery problems but also make electric vehicles safer as well as better for the environment.  Advanced battery management system  The advanced battery management system (BMS) plays an important role in improving the safety of electric vehicle batteries, responsible for managing and monitoring battery status. BMSs today use a variety of sensors and algorithms to keep batteries operating within safe limits.  Accordingly, battery temperature is regularly monitored with a thermal sensor to ensure it is within safe limits.…

Over 50% Of American Homes Are Unprepared For Safe EV Charging

Range anxiety and long charging times are some of the more pressing challenges the electric vehicle industry faces today. But these aspects arguably overshadow some underlying issues that require equal, if not more attention, like a proportionate upgrade of the electricity grid, and the safety of electrical systems in homes. The Electrical Safety Foundation (ESFI) recently conducted a consumer survey to understand the compatibility of American homes with safe EV charging. ESFI discovered that more than 50 percent of US homes don’t have electrical systems ready for the continuous load that EV charging demands. 63 percent of respondents said that they scheduled a home inspection before installing electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), and 54 percent of homes required an electrical panel upgrade. Even though 75 percent of EV owners did not face any charging issues, eight percent of them had received an electrical shock. Using manufacturer-approved and certified charging equipment is vital in ensuring the safety of your home and your EV. InsideEVs recommends using EV charging equipment that adheres to safety standards from UL, ETL, TUV, or CSA, and buyers should ensure that the unit contains a printed label. EV charging often involves large quantities of current flow over…

Biden Administration Proposes $15 Billion Investment in EV Charging Infrastructure

In the second quarter of 2023, The Biden administration has made it a priority to address the lack of charging infrastructure. In his infrastructure plan, President Biden has proposed investing $15 billion in EV charging infrastructure. This investment would help to accelerate the installation of chargers across the country, making it easier for people to switch to EVs.  America is facing a major challenge in its transition to electric vehicles (EVs): the lack of charging infrastructure. While the number of EVs on the road is growing rapidly, the number of public charging stations is not keeping pace. This is a major barrier to EV adoption, as many potential EV buyers are concerned about being able to find a place to charge their cars.  There are a number of reasons for the lack of charging infrastructure in America. One reason is that the cost of installing charging stations is high. Another reason is that there is no single standard for EV charging connectors, which makes it difficult for businesses and governments to install chargers. Finally, there is a lack of federal funding for EV charging infrastructure.  With the above decision, a number of electric vehicle infrastructure issues will be resolved. In…
