The reason why VinES confidently competes with Chinese batteries

Although it is making the Korean and Japanese battery industries ‘smoke’, Chinese batteries do not worry VinES because according to Ms. Pham Thuy Linh – General Director of VinES, they still have certain competitive advantages. In the past 10 years, thanks to the support of the Government and the exploding green car trend in the country (the growth rate of electric cars in China in a decade has been faster than many decades of growth in the Japanese and European markets). Europe or North America) Chinese battery companies have grown strongly in both output and the speed of battery technology development. Even for car manufacturers such as Tesla, Volkswagen, Hyundai, BMW… equipping batteries from China on car models sold in this market also helps them have a certain competitive advantage. And CATL is the battery company that has this advantage and has grown rapidly, surpassing LG Chem, Panasonic, SK On, and Samsung SDI to lead the battery supply chain for 6 consecutive years. The explosion of the domestic electric vehicle market also caused another name, BYD, to rise to the 3rd position in global battery market share, even surpassing LG Chem, which ranked 2nd in the field of electric vehicle…

NASA technology helps fully charge electric vehicles in 5 minutes

Experimental technology NASA uses to cool equipment in space could cut electric vehicle (EV) charging times to less than five minutes. This news comes in the context that electric vehicle sales are on the rise and have reached their highest level ever. The experimental technology was initially developed by scientists to support “nuclear fission power systems for missions to the Moon, Mars, and other more distant planets.” Specifically, this technology provides fuel for “vapor compression heat pumps to operate. From there, EV engines help maintain habitats on the Moon and Mars, while controlling heat and supporting life inside spacecraft.” Thanks to the “subcooled flow boiling” technique, NASA technology can increase the current through improved heat transfer through the charging cable. This will significantly reduce the time needed to fully charge a vehicle. NASA explains that an electric current with a minimum strength of 1,400 amps can fully charge an electric car within 5 minutes. Meanwhile, the fastest chargers used in science and industry today only produce a maximum of 520 amps, and most chargers on the market only support less than 150 amps. A research team from Purdue University, led by mechanical engineering professor Issam Mudawar, said their experiment successfully…

Charging an electric car in the rain is not dangerous

“Can the car charge when it rains?” is a question that many people still ask about the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle segment. Companies say that charging when it rains is safe for people and vehicles, because electric vehicles and charging stations are thoroughly tested for safety under harsh conditions before they can be sold on the market. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination that can cause fatal accidents. Therefore, the vehicle’s battery and charging system are designed to be as watertight as possible, and integrate many additional technologies to protect against discharge, short circuit, etc. Each step of the charging process is carefully calculated to To protect the driver, electronic components must comply with strict rules set by safety organizations around the world, including the Ingress Protection (IP) standard, which indicates the level of dust/water resistance set. by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IP standard represents the level of dust and water resistance of electronic components, and is widely used around the world. According to IEC 60529 standards, dust resistance is expressed through the first number, 1-6, water resistance is the next number from 1-8, the higher the number means the more resistant to dust/water factors. big. …

Outstanding advantages of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in VinFast electric cars

Self-driving car levels As a rule, autonomous vehicle technology is divided into 6 different levels: Level 0 – No automation: the driver performs all the driving tasks. Level 1 – Driver assistance: the driver must perform most of the tasks necessary to control the vehicle, which is equipped with some features that assist the driver in navigating the car. Level 2 – Partial automation under the supervision of the driver: the car not only has a single driver assistance system, but also has Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – ADAS – which helps the vehicle to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically in complex situations. Drivers are still required to actively participate in the driving process, in particular, they must keep their hands on the steering wheel as well as monitor the direction of the vehicle’s movement. Level 3 – Conditional driving automation, with driver: This level is also known as conditional automation, with many driver assistance systems programmed to make decisions (by artificial intelligence – AI) in real time based on changes in the traffic environment around the car. Although the Level 3 autonomous car can operate without driver involvement, the driver is still required to be present to take control…
