New sparks for the electric vehicle industry

GreenBiz

New sparks for the electric vehicle industry. The move to electric vehicles (EVs) was intensifying. . Battery packs contain components such as cooling, sensors and battery management systems that, if more open, could allow engineers and designers to optimize storage and layout for energy efficiency.

Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. Katie Smith of law firm Reddie & Grose LLP examines where the approach fits into the energy storage landscape.

Liquid cooling in electric vehicles: What to know to keep EVs on the go

Charged

The number of electric vehicles on the road is increasing, but not as quickly as many may think. Fast, efficient and accessible charging is a major barrier to the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly as it relates to longer-distance trips.
