The most expensive component of an EV is the battery pack. As well as increasing the energy density and reducing the cost of the battery cells, another avenue to cost reduction is through more efficient packaging of the cells.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/reducing-and-eliminating-thermal-interface-materials-in-ev-batteries/31614?rsst2id=72https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/reducing-and-eliminating-thermal-interface-materials-in-ev-batteries/31614?rsst2id=72Fri, 23 Aug 2024 ZZZj.edmondson@idtechex.com (Dr James Edmondson) The construction machine industry is still in its early stages of electrification, with the first small electric machine only coming onto the market in 2015. However, IDTechEx's new report, "Electric Vehicles in Construction 2024-2044: Technologies, Players, Forecasts", highlights how the electric machines of today are bigger and better than their predecessors from less than 10 years ago.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-construction-machines-bigger-and-better-than-ever-before/31492?rsst2id=72https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-construction-machines-bigger-and-better-than-ever-before/31492?rsst2id=72Tue, 06 Aug 2024 ZZZp.jaswani@idtechex.com (Pranav Jaswani) Electrification is tough. It has taken around 15 years to convince car owners that battery power is a viable alternative to their fossil fuel comfort blanket. In the construction, agriculture, and mining industries, electrification is an even steeper uphill battle. In these industries, if a machine runs out of battery, the operators will soon start losing money.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/why-tractors-make-a-surprisingly-good-fit-for-next-gen-batteries/31404?rsst2id=72https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/why-tractors-make-a-surprisingly-good-fit-for-next-gen-batteries/31404?rsst2id=72Tue, 16 Jul 2024 ZZZj.jeffs@idtechex.com (Dr James Jeffs) Thursday 25 July 2024 - The Definite Future of Land Logistics: Autonomous Trucks Replacing Drivers.
