The battery is crucial to an electric vehicle (EV), accounting for nearly 40% of its cost ancicantly influencing its range, performance, and lifespan. Modern EV batteries, benefiting from advanced battery management techniques, can last over a … [Read more...]
The future of EV charging may be invisible
Did you know that hopping in and out of electric vehicles (EVs) to plug in a charger may become unnecessary, thanks to the concept of invisible charging? Powerful coils fitted underground will soon be ready to provide energy to vehicles through … [Read more...]
Part III: What joining methods optimize EV battery production efficiency?
This third part of the multi-part article discusses magnetic pulse welding, micro-TIG, and clinching for electric vehicle (EV) battery productions. While the first two mechanisms use high temperatures to make joints, the clinching mechanism is based … [Read more...]
Part IV: What joining methods optimize EV battery production efficiency?
This final part of the four-part series will explain the mechanical assembly and soldering process used to make joints during electric vehicle (EV) battery production. Although these two mechanisms are somewhat primitive in nature, they still find … [Read more...]
Part II: What joining methods optimize EV battery production efficiency?
Resistance spot welding and wire bonding are popular choices for creating joints during EV battery production. However, every joining technology comes with a trade-off, giving packaging engineers room to select the appropriate one for their battery … [Read more...]
Part I: What joining methods optimize EV battery production efficiency?
Joints are important electrical and mechanical connections in producing electric vehicle (EV) batteries. They link individual battery cells to make a full battery pack. However, the process of making joints has evolved over the years due to various … [Read more...]
