StoreDot Revolutionizes Battery Technology with Prismatic XFC Silicon Cells In a significant milestone for electric vehicle (EV) technology, StoreDot has achieved a major breakthrough with the production of its first-ever prismatic XFC (extreme fast charging) silicon-dominant battery cells. These prismatic cells, characterized by their rectangular shape and stacked layers, have emerged as the preferred form factor for an increasing number of EV manufacturers. The adoption of prismatic cells offers numerous advantages, including enhanced mechanical protection and performance. Moreover, their flat surface facilitates seamless integration into electric vehicles, leading to improved #thermalmanagement and safety considerations. As a result, pack assembly costs and complexity are significantly reduced, paving the way for more efficient and cost-effective EV production. However, transitioning from traditional pouch cells to prismatic ones, and incorporating silicon-based chemistry with XFC capability, presents several engineering challenges and manufacturing complexities. StoreDot's solution revolves around meticulous design adjustments, including stack thickness, formation currents, pressure regimes, and effective management of swelling in silicon-dominant anode technology, all within a prismatic hard case enclosure. One of the most notable aspects of StoreDot's XFC technology is its adaptability to different cell form factors required by automakers. The company remains committed to further optimizing its design, aiming to achieve up to 170Ah of cell capacity and over 700 Wh/L volumetric energy density. This groundbreaking announcement follows StoreDot's earlier unveiling of the I-Beam XFC design concept, which extends extreme fast charging capabilities from the cell to the vehicle level. This innovative approach, known as cell-to-pack integration, promises to accelerate the integration of XFC technology into EVs, further enhancing their performance and usability. As StoreDot continues to push the boundaries of battery technology, their participation in the upcoming #BatteryThermalManagementInnovationSummitEurope underscores their commitment to advancing the EV ecosystem. This premier event, scheduled for April 24th in Stuttgart, Germany, brings together industry leaders, innovators, and experts to address the evolving challenges and technologies shaping next-generation vehicles.

Innovation at the Core: Pushing the Boundaries of UTV Technology. At Emmel, we believe true innovation has the power to transform industries - and that's what drives us every day. Our team has been developing a revolutionary electric drivetrain for the next generation of UTVs. While we can't reveal too much, even this snippet of a 2D drawing of our in-house designed gearbox showcases the art of engineering. What makes it special? It's part of a compact, lightweight, and highly efficient drivetrain, featuring a 4WD individual motor design with torque-vectoring. This delivers superior control and ensures long-lasting performance for all your adventures. Of course, innovation comes with its own set of challenges. Creating something as groundbreaking as this drivetrain means pushing the limits of existing designs. One of our key challenges has been balancing compactness with ease of assembly. Even though we're still in the prototype phase, we have to keep future production in mind, where assembly efficiency will be critical. This ongoing balancing act is something we’re constantly refining. For us, sustainability goes beyond material choices - it's about efficiency in every aspect of the design. We are proud to integrate both sustainability and cutting-edge technology into each step of our process, paving the way for a cleaner, more innovative future in the UTV market. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and share sneak peeks of the groundbreaking work happening at Emmel! #Innovation #ElectricUTV #Sustainability #Engineering #FutureOfMobility #TorqueVectoring #GreenTech

Very promising development - considering connectivity advancement in e-mobility!

The scenario goes: in 2040 almost 45 percent of a total of 128 million passenger cars sold worldwide will be powered purely by battery electricity or fuel cells. (Study by German industry association VDMA and FEV Consulting) Efficient fuel cells, batteries, electric motors, and high-performance electronics as well as cooling technologies are the future growth drivers for the industry. This requires new manufacturing processes - and new tools. Scansonic is well prepared for this future. Our new system for Fast Component Welding (FCW) allows the cost-effective parallelization of laser processes that speeds up the lead times. To achieve this, the developers have integrated complex technology into extremely compact scanner units that can be arranged on a single process-specific application plate. Read more about this new technology in the latest edition of E-motec. Link to the article in the comments.
