The High-voltage Traction Systems Of Modern EVsIn the "flowmagazine", the online magazine published by the company nanoFlowcell of Liechtenstein, they speak about the danger of high voltage in the new high-powered electric cars, which can reach 600 volts, almost three times more than what is needed in our house sockets. This high voltage can be a danger of life, touching what should not be touched, but which also can be part of the causes of fires. It also obliges all accidents rescue teams know what to do and where to touch at…30 August 2016 / Flowmagazine

Electric Vehicles From Outer Space.I read really nice news about Agneta Dahlgren Renault Group designer, woman of the year 2016 by the WAVE independent organizationYears ago, in a much more sexist world probably did say with surprise a woman was a part of the design team, as if it were a rare fact, without name or charge. Fortunately not only in the staff, she is the team leader. Future of technology is very promising because women are in the top of design, marketing, testing and competition teams with the prototypes.…23 May 2016 / José Luis Iglesias

The Truth Behind The ConfusionHow is it that some analysts put pure-electric car sales at hundreds of thousands in 2012 whereas others report a mere 60-65,000? At analysts IDTechEx, we feel that a lack of rigor is largely to blame because there are cars homologated as such and car-like vehicles that are not homologated as cars. The contrast is stark. Only 65,000 true pure-electric cars, homologated as such, were sold globally in 2012, very much a failure compared to the 1.522 million hybrid electric cars sold. However,…22 May 2013 / Dr. Peter Harrop Chairman

Big Disagreement On Where Lithium-ion Batteries Are Headedby Dr. Peter Harrop from IDTechLithium-ion is the winning type of rechargeable battery for the decade - there is almost a consensus. You can count about 150 manufacturers of these and IDTechEx has profiled nearly all of them. We expect 200 manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries soon, mainly because of the burgeoning number of Chinese companies making poor quality me-too-but-cheaper versions - notably the relatively easy-to-make small cylindrical versions such as the archetypal 18650 for…07 August 2012 / Dr. Peter Harrop Chairman

Electric Vehicle Technology Changes Brought Forwardby Dr. Peter Harrop from IDTechWith hybrid and pure electric vehicles, the future is arriving much sooner than predicted. This is a surprise to those looking only at electric cars where sales in 2011 were well behind plan. Though Japan saw 25% of new cars purchased being hybrid or, more rarely, pure electric, other countries were way behind. However, in 2012, the eagerly awaited plug-in hybrids - from forklifts to cars - are ceasing to be production limited: it is quickly being realised that…21 February 2012 / Dr. Peter Harrop Chairman
The Death Of Lead Acid BatteriesIn historical terms, the death of the flint tool, cooking by dung and other bygone technologies occurred very rapidly. This was because several factors conspired to bring in the better alternative and this created a multiplier effect. So it is with lead acid batteries. To this huge industry and the magazines that write about it, there is a long term, if unspectacular, future for the lead acid battery in vehicles - the main use. Conventional "reciprocaur" car sales are still increasing…15 November 2011 / Dr. Peter Harrop Chairman
