Sponsored by Pickering Interfaces. EV platforms live at the intersection of high voltage, high power and strict safety requirements. From battery packs and traction inverters to DC fast chargers and cable harnesses, engineers must prove that insulation is sound during development and at end-of-line. That is the role of high-potentialContinue Reading

Contrary to what the anti-EV crowd would like you to believe, EVs are no more likely to catch fire than other vehicles. However, it is true that lithium-ion battery fires require special treatment. Compromised battery packs can enter thermal runaway without warning, and reignite unexpectedly long after the original incident.Continue Reading
German charging communication specialist chargebyte is launching the Charge Control V (CCV), which it says is the world’s first ready-to-deploy high-power charging controller built on the EVerest open-source firmware stack. The CCV is currently in pre-series status with samples available for pre-order. The CCV is a 2-port charging controller forContinue Reading
In the late 2010s, the name Rolls-Royce was most closely associated with durability issues related to the Trent 1000 engines on the Boeing 787. These motors faced premature wear, leading to Trent 1000-equipped Dreamliners getting their ETOPS ratings downgraded while planes were grounded worldwide, and the Trent 1000 lost significantContinue Reading
