Charged Electric Vehicles | New Technology Platform Identifies Strengths of Electric Vehicle Batteries
A new technology platform that enhances the performance and life of electric vehicle batteries. Lithium batteries offer the highest energy density of any battery type. Lithium batteries can store more energy in a smaller, lightweight package than any other type of battery. As a result, lithium-based batteries are the preferred battery type for all types […]
Charged electric vehicles | Shell opens a megawatt charger for electric trucks and boats in Amsterdam
Shell has deployed a self-developed megawatt charger for dual use by both electric trucks and waterborne ships at the company’s Energy Transport Campus in Amsterdam (ETCA), a facility where the oil giant showcases its current energy technologies. The charging station uses the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), a standard for charging heavy electric vehicles developed by […]
Charged electric vehicles | The J3400 charging standards (Tesla NACS) and CCS will coexist for many years, says CharIN’s president
A year ago, when automakers, EVSE suppliers and pundits enthusiastically jumped on the Tesla NACS bandwagon, the Charging Interface Initiative of North America (CharIN) was one of the few voices urging a little caution. CharIN’s mission is to facilitate the adoption of shipping standards, so the organization is now deeply involved in NACS (now known […]
Charged electric vehicles | Daimler Buses and BMZ Poland are cooperating in the development of e-bus batteries
Daimler Buses has partnered with lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery manufacturer BMZ Poland to develop and supply next-generation NMC4 batteries specifically for e-buses. This cooperation combines Daimler’s experience in bus development and manufacturing with BMZ’s know-how in heavy-duty lithium-ion battery solutions.
