Q&A: How US manufacturing rules are reshaping EV design and supply chains
Domestic manufacturing requirements are beginning to reshape how electric vehicle (EV) systems are engineered, sourced, and validated in the United States. Policies such as Build America, Buy America (BABA) and Section 45X now sit alongside traditional performance and safety considerations, influencing everything from component design to supplier qualification. Dave Rubin, Head of Policy at Proterra…An app that encourages low-carbon EV charging behavior
Spark Reply and Concept Reply have developed a prototype feature for BMW that encourages electric vehicle (EV) drivers to charge when grid electricity has a lower carbon intensity. The “COOL” function in BMW’s 360° Mobility prototyping app analyzes real-time energy mix data and highlights the cleanest charging windows, addressing a growing interest in carbon-aware charging…Emobi and Flipturn link roaming to expand EV charging access
Emobi announced a partnership with Flipturn to expand EV charging access and interoperability for drivers and site owners. Flipturn has integrated Emobi’s roaming and authentication capabilities into its managed charging platform, allowing site owners to offer drivers access to a wider set of charging networks and applications through a single system. Flipturn’s platform lets businesses…Konect 400-kW EV charger integrates payment and site management
Gilbarco Veeder-Root has introduced the Konect 400-kW All-in-One EV Charger, a platform designed specifically for fuel and convenience retail locations. The system combines ultra-fast charging with integrated payment, software management, and site operations tools, addressing a key barrier in public charging: the mismatch between legacy fueling workflows and fragmented EV charging hardware, apps, and payment…New SMD capacitors offer high ripple capability and mechanical stability
TDK Corporation has expanded its B409x series of SMD hybrid polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a vibration-resistant design, rated up to 30 g (MIL-STD-202, Method 204). These components target power electronics exposed to mechanical stress, including systems found in electric vehicles (EVs), where dc-dc converters, cooling pumps, steering modules, and brake controllers require stable performance…FAQs See More >

What are the gas sensors for thermal runaway detection in EV battery packs?
Thermal runaway is a safety issue in electric vehicle (EV) batteries, characterized by rising temperatures and the release of flammable gases. As conventional battery management systems (BMS) often fail to provide timely warnings, gas sensing presents a more sensitive detection method. This article reviews relevant gas sensing technologies that help in thermal runaway detection in…
