A high-speed accident involving a Model 3 crashing into a pole recently provided an impressive look at the fire-resistant capabilities of Tesla’s batteries. Despite major damage to the vehicle and two of the battery modules being breached from the violent impact, none of the Model 3’s 2170 cells burst into flame. Insights from the Model 3 crash were shared recently
Tesla is rumored to be working on some sort of battery factory in Indonesia, according to comments made by a local official. Local news in Indonesia is reporting that the country’s Maritime Affairs Coordinating Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan is stating that Tesla is amongst several companies looking to build battery manufacturing facilities in Indonesia’s Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) in Central

Bosch’s electric bicycle motors and batteries have been leading the market for years without seeing many significant advancements. Now the company is hoping to change that with the release of its new line of upgraded motors and batteries. Bosch’s new 2020 motors and batteries We first covered leaks of Bosch’s 2020 motor and battery refresh last month. It turns out we
Recent advances in battery technology, from the engineering of their cases to the electrochemistry that takes place inside them, has enabled the rapid rise of Teslas, Leafs, Volts and other electric cars. Now, scientists at Scripps Research, inspired by the refined electrochemistry of these batteries, have developed a battery-like system that allows them to make potential advancements for the manufacturing
Neware IGBT ( Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor ) 7000 is a high power series which is specially designed for huge battery packs, such as EV battery packs and stationary storage battery packs. It supports CANbus which is a communication mode that widely used in automotive technology. By working with BMS in the market, it can get the data such as
In the last blog, I mentioned that “Neware dosen’t just have double ranges, in particular, BTS8000 and BTS9000 even have 4 ranges!” Now, it is the time to show what is BTS8000, and the features of this series. BTS8000 is created for testing electric vehicle battery/pack. It has more functions and higher performance than BTS4000. This series is good at EV
•Elon Musk’s electric car maker acquired land for a factory on the outskirts of Shanghai for about $140 million in October.•Producing vehicles in China would reduce costs from tariffs and ocean transport for Tesla, as it faces rising competition from local electric automakers.•The Shanghai factory is expected to begin partial production in the second half of this year, according to
The European “Fast Charge” research consortium presented a prototype for a charging station with an output of up to 450kW. The new charging station is suitable for electric models of all brands with the European standard Type 2 variant of the widely used Combined Charging System (CCS), and is now available for use free of charge.
