Strengthening their storage ties, Panasonic announced that it may begin producing lithium-ion battery batteries in China in partnership with Tesla. The announcement came from the company’s CEO Kazuhiro Tsuga, although as is so often the case, no more details were provided about the factory’s size or the required investment for project.

The vehicle inverters market is estimated to be USD 2.49 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 7.74 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 17.57% during the forecast period.

It is predicted that boosted by new energy passenger car and hybrid vehicle markets, EV motor controller market will be worth RMB36.1 billion in 2022, and passenger car will play a dominant role.In the next five to ten years, SiC IGBT chip will get massively utilized in motor controllers (inverters). SiC devices can cut down switching losses significantly, improve system efficiency, reduce dead time, and enhance system output capability. The total cost of battery packs and controllers can drop by 5%, and the mileage range can rise by 10%. Tesla is the first automaker to integrate a full SiC power module in its Model 3. Thanks to its collaboration with STMicroelectronics, the Tesla inverter is composed of 24 1-in-1 power modules assembled on a pin-fin heatsink.High integration facilitates the spatial layout of the vehicle. In the limited space of new energy vehicles (especially passenger cars), the power and electronic integration technologies are used to integrate the automotive power supply with either motor controllers or electronic control system components such as the high-voltage power distribution boxes in a bid to reduce the space occupied by the automotive power supply, lowering the manufacturing cost and lifting the power density. This has become the development direction of the automotive power supply products.Bidirectional DC/DC transmission is anticipated to gain ground as it can be used for braking energy recovery, auxiliary battery/capacitor charging and discharging, and high/low-voltage energy conversion of 48V micro-hybrid models. Bidirectional DC/DC solutions are more efficient, less occupied and more affordable than the reverse parallel of 2 unidirectional DC/DC converters, typically finding application in Toyota Prius.

There’s just one problem, says Matt Bunney, head of fuel procurement for Octopus Energy. The greatest energy demand in the UK comes precisely when there’s no much renewable supply: When it is dark, cold, and still.

Hailiang Wang, a chemistry professor at Yale and an expert on energy storage, calls the new technology a possible “game-changer” but says there are big obstacles to overcome, including cost and reliability. And Gil Tal, director of the Plug-in Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Research Center at the University of California, Davis, says he has seen many claims like Cushman’s and Cronin’s in his decade of working with electric vehicles — and they seldom pan out. “Between cost, reliability and safety,” he says, “most of these things will never make it all the way to cars.”

The overall design is stylish, with a band of gold trim separating the halves and contrasting material on top and bottom.

I’m aware that I’m in the minority. Around 52 percent of Brits, and 46 percent of the world, have an interest in football. But it’s through this feeling that I understand why this is so massive.

Dunn spent $184,000 to install the first phase of his solar system at Eddie’s in 2011. Its 24-kilowatt capacity reduced his annual electric bill from about $15,000 to $11,800, a savings of $3,200. The building has gas heat, but it uses much more electricity for air conditioners, walk-in coolers and other equipment.

The largest savings from an electric vehicle is found in their longevity. The Tesla drivetrain has less than a dozen moving parts. Combined with its all-aluminum construction it will last a very long time and could easily travel to 1 million miles with only battery swaps. Some folks have wrongly predicted those swaps will be expensive. With production scaling and new technologies for accessing and recycling critical minerals like lithium and cobalt the cost of Li-ion batteries actually falls year after year. (See chart from Union of Concerned Scientists). The replacement of my batteries at 150,000 + miles will be way cheaper than the engine rebuild and tranny swap an ICE car would need and the demand will drive technology and scientific research forward.
