To satisfy the market demand of the Truck and Bus industry to charge electric heavy-duty vehicles within a reasonable time, a new solution for high-power charging is needed. Hence, a charging system is being developed for large battery electric vehicles which is called the Megawatt Charging System (MCS). What is Megawatt […]
Induction wireless charging is a form of wireless power transfer that is frequently referred to as wireless charging or cordless charging. Electricity is delivered to portable devices using electromagnetic induction. Electric toothbrushes, power tools, vehicles, and medical equipment use inductive charging. Without needing to be properly aligned or make electrical contact
England is testing electric car charging lanes that allows to commuters to drive electric vehicles without the need of stopping between charging stations to charge. If a new trial of wireless charging lanes is successful, some highways in England may become electrified, or at the very least they may make
The United Arab Emirates (UAE), recently launched the world’s first long-range, production-ready solar electric vehicle (EV), Lightyear 0, while the entire country has recently been concerned about rising petrol prices. At an event conducted at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP), the Netherlands-based company Lightyear exhibited one of its most

Hydrogen and electric cars are eco-friendly and do not use any non-renewable sources of energy. This helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Both of these pave the way to sustainable mobility. Let us discuss about the key differences between hydrogen and electric cars. Hydrogen cars and Electric cars A lithium-ion
In a Conventional EV Charger electricity goes from the electric grid into the electric car in unidirectional (one-way). However, in a bi-directional EV charger, electricity flows both from electric grid to vehicle and also from vehicle back to grid (bi-directional). Vehicle to Grid technology is the technology than enables EV
Air pollution has become a major concern for health and safety of human beings. It is estimated that 4.2 billion deaths are reported every year due to exposure to outdoor pollution. Transportation sector remains a major air polluter. In this article let us discuss how electric vehicles becomes the solution
