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…

The battle between the auto industry and the tech giants

To build connection systems for cars, manufacturers have tested and spent a lot of money on research and technology development, but they have faced too strong competition from the “big guys” ( Big Tech) technology. By “dominating” the field of car technology, Apple, Google or Amazon all intend to develop their own “empire” on existing platforms. Customers spend less time in their cars than they do on their mobile phones in some regions, especially North America. “Big Tech” is gradually taking control of the digital future of the auto sector thanks to their unique tactics. A partnership between a car manufacturer and a technology giant As car infotainment displays become more and more smartphone-like, a mutually beneficial partnership between automakers and tech companies is beginning. This is beneficial because it contributes to improving the user experience and helps give birth to Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Baidu CarLife (in the Chinese market). Today, instead of limiting consumers to a single connection, the majority of automakers offer all available smart protocols. With the advent of virtual assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa integrated into cars, things are moving faster and faster. Digital technology is predicted to become a key component…

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…

Increasing Access to Zero-Emission Vehicles for all Californians

As the leading state in eliminating fossil fuels in the US, the California state government has announced a plan to reduce carbon emissions that cause environmental pollution, with the goal that by 2035 all new cars sold will be emission-free. This goal was set by state governor Gavin Newsom in his roadmap to gradually reduce the number of new vehicles sold without emissions. If approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), this will become a “guideline” for all states’ efforts to reduce emissions, because California is currently the largest car consumption market in the United States with more than 40 million consumers. The specific roadmap is that the state of California will increase the number of new cars sold without emissions by 1/3 by 2026 and by 2/3 by 2030. Governor Newsom proposed, and the Legislature has approved, $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2022-23, and $3.9 billion over three years, for investment in ZEV adoption, as well as clean mobility options for California’s most environmentally and economically burdened communities. These programs support the new regulation by increasing access to ZEVs for all Californians, including moderate- and low-income consumers. They include: Clean Cars 4 All provides up to $9,500 to…

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. …
