Lithium-ion battery technology has played a significant role in the advancement of electric vehicles and other consumer electronics. As market competition intensifies, manufacturers are striving to achieve higher power densities and production throughput. While lithium-ion technology has matured, electrical shorts can still develop inside the cell after passing production tests due to burrs or particles … Continue reading “Webinar: How to decrease risks of catastrophic failures in EV battery cells (it is not what you think)”
Aperam has announced a new “slinky” production method for making iron-cobalt (FeCo) alloy stators and rotors for high-performance electric motors. The company says the approach adapts an in-plane helical winding process—already used for electrical steel—to FeCo alloys, which it describes as difficult to form despite “exceptional magnetic performance.” Aperam’s slinky method forms motor components from … Continue reading “Aperam launches “slinky” production method for electric motor stators and rotors”
Turntide Technologies has announced that its Sierra Echo-S, an EV powered by Turntide axial-flux motor technology, will compete in King of the Hammers 2026 off-road race. The entry is intended to prove out off-road electrification in a race that combines high-speed desert sections with slow, technical rock crawling. The Sierra Echo-S aims to be the … Continue reading “Turntide axial flux motor to power Sierra Echo-S EV in King of the Hammers 2026 off-road race”
