IDTechEx Track Multiple Routes to EV Battery Improvement

The global market for Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles is forecast to reach over US$380 billion by 2034, driven primarily by demand for battery electric cars but with rapid growth to other sectors too, including electric vans, trucks, buses, 2-wheelers, and off-road vehicles. Electrification and emissions targets, improving battery performance, and an increasingly attractive total cost of ownership for some vehicle segments are driving this growth in demand for battery electric vehicles (EV).

The EV Construction Industry will Live or Die on Battery Pricing

The new report from IDTechEx, "Electric Vehicles in Construction 2023-2043", shows that there are many reasons to adopt an electric vehicle as a construction professional: they are quieter than diesels, they help with air quality in the construction site, they can be more precise and easier to operate, and so on.

EV SiC Adoption Advances as Tesla Announces 75% Reduction

There is no denying that silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are the story of the next decade for electric vehicle power electronics. The material improves powertrain efficiency (EV range), operates at higher voltages for faster charging, and creates new materials opportunities, such as Ag or Cu sintering, as power densities and operational temperatures increase.

Why OEMs Are Moving to Tesla's Charging Standard

Consumers favour Tesla's NACS-based Supercharging network because the company has more DC fast chargers deployed, is ideally situated on popular driving routes, and the NACS plug is more straightforward for consumers to use. With five major automakers already committed to switching from CCS to NACS and SAE now working on standards, the pressure is on for other automakers to switch to Tesla's connector and network. This premium article investigates the NACS connector in detail and outlines the industry developments since NACS adoption has gone mainstream in the US - it's hard to imagine EVs with the CCS port being more than a small fraction of the US auto market in the medium term.
