A 12v battery is the most efficient way to power low voltage electrical systems like the ECU, alarm and 4G modem.
Nissan's battery research team is tasked with producing advanced EV batteries that have greater energy density than lithium-ion and a longer lifespan.
The study compared Tesla vehicles that were fast charged over 90% of the time to those fast charged less than 10% of the time. It found virtually no difference in battery degradation rates between the two groups.
Electric cars are surging in popularity thanks to their reduced environmental impact compared to petrol-powered cars. But are they actually more efficient?
The race for 0-62mph in less than a second is enthralling, but our interest in future battery technologies for electric vehicles is even greater.
Power your house, charge another car, supplement the grid. Anything goes with V2X.
Charging your EV to 80% is a battery saving measure that extends the lifespan of the battery.
First Graphene has announced funding from Innovate UK to develop proof-of-concept pouch cell supercapacitors.
Volvo Cars has launched a new business unit, Volvo Cars Energy Solutions, to capitalise on the vehicle-to-home opportunity as EV adoption grows exponentially.
StoreDot intends to push the boundaries further, with its roadmap suggesting that by 2028 charging times could be down to just three minutes.
Used electric cars offer an affordable entry point into the world of EVs, but scare stories about batteries going bad and costing thousands to replace put many people off.
Lithium-sulfur batteries offer several times the capacity of lithium-ion batteries - up to five times more - but they have a trade-off that makes them unviable.
At some point, EV charging speeds start to taper off significantly. What gives?
Canadian nanotechnology company Zentek has announced an exciting development in the lithium-ion battery space.
Advancements in electric vehicle batteries are happening all the time, and lithium-ion appears to be the technology of the decade.
