The automotive industry has witnessed rapid evolution with continuous developments in engineering and technology. Technological advancements and the advent of disruptive trends such as connected, autonomous, and electric vehicles have proliferated the demand for electronics in vehicles.With the huge emphasis being laid related to environmental norms, the electric vehicle market has seen decent growth, and this has led to growth in its adjacent markets. The increasing electric vehicle propensity of consumers is likely to drive the market for vehicle inverters. Ambitious EV targets and policy support from governments have resulted into the lowering of EV costs, along with other influential factors such as extended vehicle range and improvement in charging infrastructure, which has further fueled the demand for electric vehicles globally. The Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI), which is a multi-government policy forum dedicated to accelerating the introduction and adoption of electric vehicles worldwide, has set a target of reaching an electric car fleet of 20 million by 2020 globally. The Paris declaration on Electro-Mobility and Climate Change have also set a similar global deployment target of 100 million electric cars by 2030.Modern vehicles have become increasingly complex with the rising usage of various devices to keep one engaged or entertained while traveling, especially while covering long distances. Nowadays, consumers look to perform various activities in the vehicle such as cooking, watching television, powering a laptop, and more. All these applications run on Alternating Current (AC), while the vehicles battery runs on Direct Current (DC). Vehicle power inverters convert the DC power stored in the vehicles battery into AC power, which can be used to run various household/handheld devices depending on ones choice or desire.The growth of the vehicle inverters market can be attributed to the increasing electric vehicle production and rising demand for various electronic features in vehicles.

“We got a lot of good feedback and suggestions from customers and installers about our products within the last year. And based on the feedback we received, we have been working hard to improve our products,” said Frank O’Young, Darfon Associate VP.

The Indipro Tools’ Fusion Charger (Model: PD-M2S) features a 16.8V/2.5A charging output and a regulated 12V/6A, four-pin XLR DC output for powering cameras, lights and other devices in the field. It also supports 90-250VAC or 47-63Hz of power input. With a working temperature of 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 40 degrees Celsius), the Fusion Charger can operate just about anywhere that extreme temperatures might exist. Additionally, at just over four pounds (1820g) and 9.5 x 8.25 x 3-inches (240 x 210 x 78-mm) in size, the charger integrates nicely into any mobile workflow.

It’s cutting-edge behavior, particularly for a self-described Trump supporter and a one-time climate change skeptic. Here’s a look at Old Mike versus New Mike and some of the ways going green did—and didn’t—make a difference for him.

This idea was thought of a long time ago and the federal government never wanted to put any money into it, because it was obvious that it was a better way to go. For the originator look up Lepcon, Lumeloid, and Alvin Marks.

The Michigan State Police recommends putting together an emergency kit with the following items to use in all types of situations:

In shopping for my first electric, I had tested the Ford Fusion EV and found the acceleration so poor that pulling into LA traffic would have been scary. The sales person said “electric cars just don’t go fast.” No wonder Tesla ate their electric lunch. I also looked at the Nissan Leaf, but the alien design aesthetic of that car left me cold. Why must “green” vehicles go out of their way to look bizarre? Even the BMW i3 looks like a lunar ground car from an old sci-fi movie. Ruining the best thing the Volt had going, GM has bestowed their all-electric Bolt with the insipid “I’m doing penance for the environment” look of a Prius. Only Tesla has bothered to offer consumers the obvious: an attractive electric car that flies like a rocket.

"The continuous network of MXene nanosheets not only provides sufficient electrical conductivity and free space for accommodating the volume change but also well resolves the mechanical instability of Si," they write. "Therefore, the combination of viscous MXene ink and high-capacity Si demonstrated here offers a powerful technique to construct advanced nanostructures with exceptional performance."
