Thanks to CFRP, the battery enclosure is lightweight, stable and safe. The entire battery enclosure, including the batteries, can be changed at swapping stations of NIO within just three minutes. NIO ...
From electric planes that can only fly for so long to electric cars that need to pull over for a recharge every few hundred miles, heavy, bulky batteries are a huge, limiting factor in how far these ...
A development program looked at multiple combinations of SMC with short glass and carbon fiber — with and without unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber prepreg (the hybrid is often called tailored SMC) to ...
Building on the trailblazing carbon-fiber-as-a-battery work started at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, deep-tech startup Sinonus is working to commercialize a groundbreaking new breed of ...
“Composites for a Sustainable World” – under this theme the JEC World, the largest trade fair for composite materials and their applications, will again be held in Paris from May 03 to 05, 2022, where ...
The past year has seen a lot of technology breakthroughs in engineering composites, especially those aimed at lowering cost and boosting processing speed of carbon composites for volume manufacturing, ...
After range and charging time, a concerning factor of electric vehicles, like the 2022 BMW iX, is weight. For the same size vehicle, an EV will be heavier than its ICE counterpart due to the weight of ...
The lightness and strength of carbon fiber have made it a near-ubiquitous means of reducing the weight of new cars, especially heavier, battery-laden electric vehicles. However, the European Union ...
