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…

EVs Have More Room, Here’s Why

In comparison to larger gas-powered vehicles, electric vehicles may appear to be small toys from the outside. Don’t be fooled by someone’s size, even if they appear small on the exterior and fit better in smaller parking spaces: In reality, electric vehicles (EVs) cram a maximum amount of space into a minimal amount of space. Because EVs have fewer moving parts than their gas-powered equivalents, they have more room than their gas-powered competitors. Additionally, many vehicle components are now smaller as a result of design and technological advancements, giving EVs greater space for both passengers and freight. It’s not just the ICE engine itself is taking more space, but the whole Automotive Drivetrain No engine equals more room Engines, gas tanks, multi-speed gearboxes, exhaust systems, catalytic converters, and other substantial components have long been a feature of gas-powered vehicles. However, EVs just don’t require all those big parts. They don’t need a catalytic converter or an exhaust system because they don’t burn fuel. An EV does not require a grille because it does not have a radiator. Additionally, the motors in electric vehicles only have one speed, which negates the need for a transmission or gearbox. Smaller components including spark plugs,…

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…

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…
