The battery packs of electric vehicles are quite resilient, with the lithium-ion type used in most modern EVs capable of lasting at least a decade before needing replacement.

Researchers at Drexel University have introduced a microvascular cooling system that can improve the performance of electric vehicles. They have also proposed an optimization system that will allow ...

If you worry that using air conditioning would affect the range of your electric car, you should know that speed is by far ...

Electric motors have far fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines. This means electric cars often require far less maintenance (and can be cheaper to operate) than their gas-burning ...

The Nissan Leaf is a prime example of a car that uses a passive battery cooling system. That means if you’re living in an area that gets very hot, or you regularly rely on DC rapid charging ...

Similar to ICE cars, heat cuts down on efficiency and degrades internal components. Typically, a battery that is cooled down by water as opposed to air will last substantially longer. This is because ...

A new study of 10,000 electric cars shows that their battery packs should outlast the vehicles themselves. ... Active cooling also helps reduce the impact of DC fast-charging at higher rate.

Battery Pack Cooling is Critical to an All-Electric Race Car Dec. 19, 2022 Controlling the temperature of the racer’s batteries speeds recharging and improves performance and range.

Battery warranties for 12 battery-electric cars sold in the U.S., Dec 2016 ... Tesla) seem to hold their capacity better than those with passive air cooling (e.g. Nissan) ...

Provided you have active battery cooling, which a lot of EVs now include as standard, it won’t be doing any damage to your car’s long term health. If you have an older car with passive cooling ...

In a recent track test, a new electric car battery developed by UK start-up Nyobolt charged from 10% to 80% in just four minutes and 37 seconds. The breakthrough was demonstrated using a specially ...
