Amidst rising demand for rare earth minerals to supply magnets for manufacturers of motors for electric vehicles and for wind turbines, Japan has committed another AUDS$200 million to Australian producer Lynas Rare Earths for a favored supply chain. The latest tranche, worth about US $135 million, brings total commitment up to about US$400 million. […]
Slovenian in-wheel propulsion developer Elaphe, a designer of innovative electromagnetic topologies for pushing the limits of power density, is working on several projects designed to bring new levels of performance to the EV market. A major project involves its joint venture with power electronics specialist McLaren Applied targeting automotive applications, other are its work to develop a 350-watt gearless hub motor for electric scooters and manufacturing its systems for solar EV company, Aptera. […]
Nissan unveiled its new approach to electrified powertrain development, which it calls “X-in1”. Core EV and e-POWER powertrain components will be shared and modularized, resulting in a 30% reduction, compared to 2019, in development and […]
The demand for electric vehicle power electronics will increase dramatically in the next ten years, primarily driven by rapid growth in the battery EV car market, where market analyst IDTechEx of Cambridge, UK, predicts a 15% CAGR globally over the next decade. Currently, the weighted-average battery capacity of BEV cars is increasing in all regions, piling pressure on battery supply chains, and creating uncertainty. The result is that drive cycle efficiency must come to the forefront of powertrain design, meaning the time has come for high voltage wide bandgap power electronics. […]
With its acquisition of FEMAG in Switzerland and earlier purchase of PowerForge, software company Gamma Technologies has been significantly bolstering its portfolio of multi-physics simulation capabilities for the design of electric machines, fuel cell systems […]
