Massachusetts-based Aspen Aerogels could get up to $670 million from the U.S. Department Of Energy to mass produce battery safety materials. The company specializes in making “thermal barriers” to suppress EV fires. Electric vehicle fires are statistically rarer than gas car fires, according to Tesla and several independent fire safety reports. But when they happen, … Continue reading “The U.S. Plans To Combat EV Fires With Groundbreaking Technology”

Before you even charge your EV for the first time, the battery undergoes controlled charging cycles in the factory itself. These initial charging cycles are slow and time-consuming as they occur at low currents. A Toyota-funded study discovered that high currents during initial charging phases improve performance and lifespan. The electric vehicle movement isn’t linear. … Continue reading “To Boost EV Battery Health, This Unexpected Step May Be Groundbreaking”
