Electric vehicles

A presentation given by Elven Technologies, looking into the company and its products and solutions.

It has been another momentous year for electric vehicle markets and technologies, with major policy developments, sales growth, and landmark models set to enter the market.

The Hyundai E-GMP is one of the best selling 800V EV platforms with sales doubling in South Korea in 2022. It relies on SiC technology and Hyundai has established several new partnerships to secure supply.

Despite component shortages and rising material prices, Electric vehicles (EVs) have continued their strong growth throughout 2022, with sales looking to be increased by over 60% compared with the previous year. One factor that is difficult to overlook is vehicle fire safety. In addition to the major automotive recalls seen in 2020 and 2021 for GM, Hyundai, Ford, and others, 2022 also highlighted issues in other vehicle segments.

Niu Technologies designs, manufactures, and sells electric scooters. It is headquartered in Beijing, China. Founded in 2014 by two ex-employees of Xiaomi, it is now one of the largest electric two-wheeler manufacturers in China.

IDTechEx discusses some of Heraeus' materials for electric vehicle (EV) power electronics and how they help address the challenges of SiC adoption.

Australia is at the forefront of great battery energy storage system (BESS) development, with front-of-the-meter (FTM) installations expected to continue growing rapidly in the coming decade while supplemented by steady behind-the-meter (BTM) installations.

The automotive industry is increasingly adopting new technologies to enable the transition towards electrification and autonomy. These involve solving complex computational problems in which quantum computing can provide a competitive edge. In this premium article IDTechEx summarizes the activity of key automotive players known to be pursuing quantum computing.

They may not be ubiquitous yet, and the day-to-day advantages that they will start to provide may not be noticeable, but automated technologies across the automotive industry are starting to come of age. The 'robotaxi' industry is beginning to see more small commercial deployments. Autonomous trucks are on the cusp of real-world use, and next-generation sensor technologies are being deployed on vehicles that are for sale. This article covers some of the most exciting developments and milestones over the last year and makes predictions about what might come next year.

TeraWatt Infrastructure finances, develops, owns, and operates electric vehicle charging centres aimed towards heavy-duty fleets. It provides the real estate, infrastructure, and software services needed to support an electrified fleet.

Thermal management is critical in several industries, and the trends in emerging technologies are driving material innovation. Electronics in markets from personal devices through to cars are seeing increased integration, densification, and hence an increased focus on thermal management. As these components have less and less free space to utilize, the use of materials that provide more than one function is on the rise.

Calyos has developed a microchannel heat pipe (MCHP) technology with gaining interest in the electric vehicle (EV) market for battery cooling.

The 3rd Annual Automotive Thermal Management Conference is organised by R&Y International and this year was hosted in Munich, Germany. IDTechEx contributed to a panel discussion on thermal management trends and also presented at the conference on the topic of Thermal Management in Shifting Battery Designs: Strategies, Markets, and Materials. This premium article will explore key takeaways from the event, including companies presenting at the event.

Wolfspeed (formerly Cree) is a US semiconductor manufacturer which develops 650V, 1200V, and 1700V silicon carbide MOSFETs for the automotive and industrial sector.

The most common method of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) used today is accomplished via low to high-frequency (30 kHz to 30 MHz) time-varying magnetic fields. This may also be referred to as 'inductive WPT' or 'magnetic field WPT'.
