Electrical safety specialist Martindale Electric has been delivering testing, measurement and safe isolation solutions for 95 years. Now the company has unveiled a new type of EV socket tester. The BZ820-EV performs functional electrical checks on EV charge points with Type 2 connectors. The Type 2 connector, sometimes referred to as Mennekes for the German company that designed it,…
Elaphe Propulsion Technologies has announced its new Sonic X in-wheel electric motor platform, designed for high-performance battery-electric and hybrid vehicle architectures with limited onboard space. The Sonic X system adds up to 300 kW peak (200 kW continuous) power per wheel with an additional weight of only 25 kg (55 lbs), fitting within standard 20 to 23-inch rims. Elaphe…
ZF has introduced TempAI, a production-ready, AI-based temperature management technology designed to improve the performance and efficiency of electric motors in electric vehicles. Utilizing a self-learning temperature model, TempAI enhances temperature prediction accuracy by over 15 percent, enabling more precise thermal utilization of electric motors and increasing performance without compromising reliability. The TempAI platform automatically generates physics-based models from…
BIDITUP Auctions and Heritage Global Partners will host a webcast auction on July 9–10, 2025, featuring surplus assets from a Tier 1 EV battery and energy systems manufacturer in Detroit, Michigan. The event will include late-model production equipment, R&D instrumentation, and facility infrastructure—much of it unused or recently installed. Key EV battery production assets include a 2023 TRUMPF PFO33-2…
Honeywell has acquired Nexceris’ Li-ion Tamer business, maker of an advanced off-gas detection solution designed to provide early warnings of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. The acquisition expands Honeywell’s existing fire safety technology portfolio within its Building Automation segment and builds on its prior five-year partnership with Nexceris to enhance lithium-ion battery safety. Li-ion Tamer’s technology detects the off-gases…
German research institute Fraunhofer FFB has started a three-year project, TRAICELL, to develop battery data tracking and optimize cell production. The project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, aims to create three near-series prototypes and three scaling stages of battery production. The system will enable the tracking of production and quality data down to individual…
Heavy-duty fleet operators are under growing pressure to cut emissions (at least in Europe), but electrification involves high upfront costs, and often delays in installing charging infrastructure. For these reasons, many fleets are turning to companies that offer turnkey EV charging packages (Charging as a Service), or even complete packages that include vehicle leasing (Fleet as a Service). ZE…
Scientists at the Illinois Institute of Technology and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new approach based on a four-electron reaction process to produce lithium-air batteries that have higher energy density than current Li-ion technology. So far, lithium-air battery demonstrations have been limited to only one- or two-electron reaction processes, resulting in the formation of lithium superoxide (LiO2) or…
Accuenergy has introduced the AcuDC 300 EV Charging Meter, a revenue-grade DC energy meter designed specifically to serve the expanding electric vehicle fast-charging infrastructure market. The device provides 0.1 percent measurement accuracy across an input voltage range from 60 to 1000 VDC and it is MID-certified, meeting IEC 62053-41:2021 Class 0.5 and EN 50470-4 Class C standards for legal…
