The REDSEL research project by Silicon Austria Labs, Infineon Technologies Austria, and AVL List has developed new solutions ...

An electric vehicle’s largest, most important and most expensive component is its high-voltage battery pack. Many newer bespoke EVs are built around their battery pack, and some have even incorporated ...

The old-fashioned 12-volt lead acid battery hasn't changed much since the mid-1950s. Now it's getting a makeover to handle a host of new responsibilities in electrified, automated and software-defined ...

It seems ridiculous, but even electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and hybrids that carry big powerful high-voltage batteries also require a 12-volt battery. And certain usage patterns can end up ...

Auxiliary battery drain is a fairly common issue on some electric vehicles, unfortunately, and the Toyota bZ4X – and likely its Subaru Solterra twin – may be a part of this club. While having a bZ4X ...

Cars, trucks, RVs, and motorhomes run dual 12-volt batteries for various reasons. Depending on how you wire a two-battery 12-volt system, the result can be a 12-volt system or a 24-volt system—or even ...

Rivian recently faced a flurry of dying 12-volt batteries on its vehicles, last time because of a botched software update. This must have caused the EV startup a lot of money because it decided to ...

Ford's Mustang Mach-E EV is pretty damned impressive for a first effort at a built-to-purpose electric vehicle. Of course, no new model is without its faults, and the owners of some early Mach-E ...

Manufacturers are investing huge sums into battery technology to maximize the range and performance of new electric cars. However, if you pop the hood of a modern EV, you might find a regular old ...

Year by year, lithium-ion battery technology improves, and EV range and performance leap forward. We're now seeing electric pickups trucks with what would've been supercar acceleration not too long ...
