Tesla confirmed that as of October 2022, all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for North America, as well as Europe, the Middle East, and Taiwan, no longer include ultrasonic sensors. For a range of driver assistance features, including Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot, and what Tesla considers Full Self Driving—plus other active-safety… Source: Green Car

Tesla drops ultrasonic sensors—and some features, for now. An “off the shelf” battery pack could be the ticket for premium EV conversions. And we drive the Ioniq 6 sedan. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is shaping up to be the first direct challenger to the Tesla Model

Punch Powertrain and Stellantis have agreed to expand their existing manufacturing partnership by adding another manufacturing site. The 50/50 joint venture, called Punch Powertrain PSA e-Transmissions Assembly, manufactures electrified dual-clutch transmissions (eDCT/DT2) for Stellantis’s next generation of mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. A manufacturing site in Metz, France began producing electrified transmissions in late

Battery materials producer 6K has signed a joint development agreement with Michigan-based energy storage company Our Next Energy (ONE) to develop and produce a battery material that ONE will use in its dual-chemistry Gemini battery and LFP Aries battery pack. The companies will develop two chemistries that include iron phosphate and manganese. “Early collaboration will

Michigan-based test system company SAKOR Technologies has delivered a new dynamometer test system to Carpenter Technology. The system will be used to test the effectiveness of new alloys in inverters and electric motor parts. The system is composed of an AccuDyne 250 kW four-quadrant AC dynamometer, an AccuDyne 12 kW four-quadrant AC dynamometer, a 250

As EV adoption grows, it’s plain that more EV raw materials will need to be mined and processed in North America (and Europe). But bringing a new mine into production is a lengthy process with many potential pitfalls along the way. A lithium mine in the pine forests northwest of Montreal provides an example of

Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are a reliable solution for a range of EV battery pack applications. These include bonding, flame retardance and dielectric insulation, and protection of sensitive materials. However, EV battery applications represent just a fraction of the many ways these tapes can support the electrification of modern vehicles. In this free webinar at our

This was most likely a software error, not something physically wrong with the vehicle. Source: InsideEVs – Articles Read More
