Making Electric Vehicles Go Further With New Materials
By Scott Wilkins - 08 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

It’s no secret that vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are aggressively pursuing electric vehicle (EV) development. Among the headwinds they face in selling their technology to consumers are price and vehicle range. Not surprisingly, there is a direct correlation between the two — in 2021, for any EV under $40,000, the average vehicle range was 187 miles, while the lowest veh... » read more

High Voltage Testing Races Ahead
By Karen Heyman - 06 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

Voltage requirements are increasing, especially for the EV market. Even devices that might be considered relatively low voltage, such as display drivers, are now pushing past established baselines. While working with high voltages is nothing new — many engineers can recall yellow caution tape in their workplaces — the sheer number and variety of new requirements have made testing at high... » read more

A technical paper titled "Review of Electric Vehicle Charger Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities, Potential Impacts, and Defenses" was published by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories. Abstract: "Worldwide growth in electric vehicle use is prompting new installations of private and public electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). EVSE devices support the electrification of the transportat... » read more

Improving Reliability In Automobiles
By John Koon - 14 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

Carmakers are turning to predictive and preventive maintenance to improve the safety and reliability of increasingly electrified vehicles, setting the stage for more internal and external sensors, and more intelligence to interpret and react to the data generated by those sensors. The number of chips inside of vehicles has been steadily rising, regardless of whether they are powered by elect... » read more

E-Mobility: Navigate Safety, Interoperability, And Conformance
By Keysight - 26 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Although the concept of electric vehicles (EV) has been around for a while, the EV and EV supply equipment (EVSE) markets are not well-regulated or fully operational. This presents several challenges for EV and EVSE manufacturers throughout the e-mobility ecosystem. Safety, interoperability, and conformance are important criteria for enabling e-mobility, and Keysight is ready to help. Read this... » read more

EVs Raise Energy, Power, And Thermal IC Design Challenges
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

The transition to electric vehicles is putting pressure on power grids to produce more energy and on vehicles to use that energy much more efficiently, creating a gargantuan set of challenges that will affect every segment of the automotive world, the infrastructure that supports it, and the chips that are required to make all of this work. From a semiconductor standpoint, improvements in th... » read more

Formula 1: Riding The Sustainability Wave To Full Electrification
By Steve Brown - 06 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Ferdinand Porsche once said, "The perfect race car crosses the finish line 1st and then crumbles into its individual parts." What a take, right? Well, in the 90s, that's the best they could hope for. Let's go back to the 1990s of Formula 1 (F1). The time was marked by extreme competition among racing teams. There was more freedom in the engine you could run, meaning that teams could choose b... » read more

Wave Hello To Improved Performance
By Luciana Caminha Afonso - 13 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that in 2019, approximately 33 percent of all transportation-related CO2 emissions were generated by buses and light to heavy commercial vehicles. Transitioning to electric drives in this sector could clearly have a significant impact on reducing our emissions, but electrifying such demanding vehicles is not an easy task. Many of the concepts... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Marie C. Baca - 09 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive and mobility Seventeen U.S. states must decide whether or not to follow California's new law that mandates that all new cars, pickups and SUVs be electric or hydrogen-powered by 2035. The Clean Air Act dictates that states must follow federal guidelines unless they follow certain components of California's rules. A research firm says consumers are most passionate about a high-tec... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Linda Christensen - 02 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

The great EV ramp EV-related developments are everywhere. California’s move to ban sales of new internal-combustion vehicles by 2035, and the U.S. government’s sweeping embrace of clean-energy, are in lockstep with recent moves by the auto industry and related supply chains, as well as cutting-edge research. One of the big breakthroughs is the ability to charge an EV in 10 minutes witho... » read more
