“The time is right for Electric Cars – In fact, the time is critical” - Carlos Ghosn CEO, Renault
With the whole world focusing on renewable energy and sustainability, electric cars are widely accepted as the cars of our future. This section is completely dedicated to Electric vehicles, it contains basic electric vehicle projects, latest news, and articles on the important elements of an electric vehicle like Batteries, Battery Management System (BMS), Wireless Charging, Charging Stations etc.. It also provides latest news on Automobile components to keep the readers updated on recent technology trends in Electric Vehicles.
In addition to creating an economic boost, it was always expected that this astoundingly revolutionary approach to transportation electric mobility would provide a significant amount of employment, which would be necessary to overhaul the conventional auto industry, which is still dependent on the unsustainable burning of petrol and diesel. EVs have the potential to…
There are no toxic emissions from the tailpipe of electric cars, but the electricity generation while charging the cars might discharge carbon pollution. The volume depends on how the local power is sourced, that is utilizing natural gas or coal that are responsible for carbon pollution, while renewable sources like solar or wind do not emit toxic gasses. While…

These joint endeavors extend the companies’…
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has launched the new A33110 and A33115 magnetic position sensors that combine vertical Hall technology (VHT) with cutting-edge tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) technology in a single sensor package and are designed for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications which require high levels of accuracy…
Murata has announced the new MRD series of open-loop current sensors that integrates high-performance tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) elements - enabling precision measurement with regard to both DC and AC currents up to 40A, along with maintaining stable characteristics across an extensive temperature range. With high accuracy current sensing…
A power bank is a portable rechargeable battery that allows you to connect to an external charging source when you don't have access to a wall charger. The market for power banks has exploded, making it one of the most popular electronic products available. However, such a fantastic device comes with an equally astounding price tag. Fortunately, we will go over a…
NXP Semiconductors has announced two new processor families S32Z and S32E that help enable software-defined vehicles, reduce software integration complexity and enhance security and safety. The S32Z processors are ideal for safety processing and domain and zonal control, while the S32E processors are ideal for electric vehicle (xEV) control and smart…

Built for EV motor control applications, this position sensor solution offers numerous…
The biggest differentiating aspect of Ford will be selling software services, autonomous features and driver assistance that could be rented for a particular time slot
Recently, at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference, car making giant Ford’s CEO Jim Farley highlighted how the international automobile sector is moving towards…
We'll be making a 12V 2000mAh Li-ion Battery pack in this post. We'll start by designing a 3s battery pack, then connecting the BMS to it to execute all of the BMS's functions. Li-ion cells are increasingly used as battery packs for many applications due to their high energy density and rechargeable characteristics. However, we must link a Li-ion cell with a BMS to…
Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced an AUTOSAR-compliant complex device driver (CDD) software module for designers of automotive battery management systems (BMS) in electric vehicles (EVs). The new ISL78714 CDD software follows ISO26262 ASIL D development processes and is designed to work with the BMS reference design hardware kit, which…
In this article, we will be learning about the features and working of a 3S 6A lithium Battery Management System or BMS along with checking out the components and the circuitry of this module. Furthermore, we have done complete reverse engineering of the module by removing all the components from the PCB and measuring all the PCB traces with the multimeter. For…
