Toyota's next-generation electric vehicle batteries could vastly improve the driving range and charging speeds compared to today's packs. The company is reportedly working on cells that can last four decades and be reused multiple times during that period. The aging will happen with minimal energy degradation, the company claims. Writing about solid-state batteries feels like waiting for a train that's always five minutes away, but it never actually arrives.
a new technology might give the market a shot in the arm: extended range electric vehicles (EREVs). These are vehicles that have an electric powertrain, including a battery and a traction motor, along with a backup gasoline engine. The engine can charge the high-voltage battery to extend the vehicle's range, but doesn't power the wheels directly. That job still belongs to the electric motors only.
With the unveiling of the V21L electric motorcycle prototype, Ducati has offered the world a glimpse into how performance motorcycling can evolve while honoring the brand's racing heritage. This concept is more than an exercise in design - it represents years of development, hard data from the MotoE World Championship, and a commitment to creating an electric platform that lives up to the standards of Borgo Panigale.
BMX's SolidSafe line addresses fire risk associated with lithium-ion batteries by using a non-flammable solid-state format, significantly enhancing consumer safety in portable charging.
