One of the most surprising myths about electric vehicles? That EV batteries need to be replaced often. In reality, over 97% of EVs on the road today still run on their original batteries—data that’s not often discussed. As we push forward, it’s important to cut through the noise and focus on the facts. EVs are proving to be more reliable and sustainable than ever imagined. Dive deeper into the common misconceptions and the real data behind EVs by checking out the full article: https://lnkd.in/e_8Ae_Af #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #CleanEnergy #CleanTech

While the rest of EV technology has leaped forward, most of the industry still relies on mechanical contactors for charging, prompting us to rethink how we handle the flow of power in electric vehicles. Solid-state contactors offer a fast, lighter, and more reliable alternative by eliminating the wear and tear issues of mechanical options and can integrate advanced safety diagnostics. This, however, results in higher conduction loss. How do we circumvent this? Ultra-low loss bidirectional power semiconductors: innovative switches that make solid-state circuit breakers viable AND efficient. Read more about how we can overcome these challenges in this super informative article by our very own VP of Business Development, Jeff Knapp: https://lnkd.in/eDrF598B #ElectricVehicles #Semiconductors

The conversation around EVs often centers on grid strain, but what if we looked at it from a different angle? Instead of focusing on EVs as an added burden, let’s reimagine them as mobile energy assets that could redefine grid resilience. The real opportunity is beyond just charging and lies in integrating EVs into a smarter energy ecosystem. How EVs can help us build a better grid? Here’s an interesting read that delves into the topic: https://lnkd.in/ejGd92xm #Energy #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #EnergyInnovation #CleanTech

Most people think EVs are a modern invention, mainly thanks to Tesla and the EV1, but they’ve been around for nearly two centuries! In fact, the first self-propelled electric vehicle dates back to 1828, and by the late 1800s, electric taxis were cruising through New York City. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come, and how much we’re rediscovering today. What’s even more fascinating is how many early innovations, like battery-swapping, are resurfacing in modern mobility. The more we look back, the more we see that today’s EV revolution is rooted in over a century of innovation and ambition.
