“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.
A major hurdle, that stands in the way of boosting the growth of electric vehicles is the time taken for charging the batteries, and the number of charging stations available. This is also posing a huge threat to the growth of the overall global electric vehicle (EV) market. One solution for the same is wireless charging on roads which is getting…
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. has introduced the new A19360 wheel speed and distance sensor that uses giant magnetoresistance (GMR) technology to encode the speed and direction of rotating ring magnets, providing automakers with the signal resolution and reliability required for SAE Level 4 and SAE Level 5 automation in passenger vehicles and mobility-as-a-…
Electrical Vehicles are rapidly replacing conventional ICE vehicles across the globe. But selecting the right architecture and components is a difficult task because of the options available in today’s time.
