As transportation companies face increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, transitioning from diesel and gas-powered fleets to electric vehicles (EVs) is becoming more critical. However, this shift presents significant financial challenges. … [Read more...]
Why surge protection matters for EV charging infrastructure
Electrical transients, often called surges, are short-duration, microsecond events. Surges are a risk to any electrical equipment, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is no exception. Such events can interrupt, delay, or corrupt signal … [Read more...]
Using EVs to drive decarbonization: It’s not just about the vehicles
As the world becomes more sustainable and electrified, companies and individuals seek ways to reduce their environmental impact. One critical approach is the use of electric vehicles (EVs). EV technology has improved drastically over the last decade, … [Read more...]
How to choose thermal management fluid for an EV
At some point, you’ve probably been told, “Water and electricity don’t mix.” While this is a wise rule to follow in general, it does not tell the complete story. Pure water is, in fact, an excellent insulator of electricity. However, pure … [Read more...]
