HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Shell is acquiring one of its competitors, Volta, for $169 million. Volta Charging’s difference has always been that its business model is centered on ad sales. According to the US Department of Energy (DOE) data on January 2023, Volta Charging Inc. is the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">4th largest charging network</a> and media company with 3,172 individual charging ports across the US.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US</a>
With the acquisition of Volta, Shell Recharge Solutions will be the 4th largest EV charging network in the US. According to the acquisition announcement, Shell would provide Volta with loans to support the company until the planned acquisition is completed in the first half of 2023.

While the automotive industry is evolving towards producing all-electric vehicles, oil companies are trying to survive. That’s why Shell acquired an EV charging network Greenlots back in 2019 and now Volta Charging. These moves will play quite a role in achieving its goals of adding 50,000 on-street EV charging posts in the UK and reaching to 500,000 charging points globally by the end of 2025.
We saw at CES 2023 that several EV companies launched new products for home and commercial charging. Furthermore, EVgo has announced its agreement with Amazon for an Alexa-assisted EV charging service connected to more than 150,000 US public EVgo charging stations. Those developments show us that the EV and EV charging industry will continue to grow as more companies enter into the business and consumers demand, government mandates and regulations will contribute to the expansion of the industry.

Shell to buy out Volta Charging Inc. for $169 Million

The electric delivery van fleet of Amazon is growing day by day and its size is exceeded 1,000 electric vans. The retail giant has made more than 5 million deliveries in the US with Rivian-made zero-emission vans since earlier this year.
Amazon has overall 30,000 delivery vans and 20,000 trailers in its total fleet, but the number of electric delivery vans is increasing among them, and Rivian will deliver up to 100,000 vans to Amazon. Rivian-made EDVs are started operating in many cities across the US since July.
As the number of EDVs is increasing in Amazon’s fleet, Rivian has accelerated its production of them. The EV company declared that over 7,300 <a href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1t">R1T pickup trucks</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1s">R1S SUVs</a> and EDVs are manufactured between July and September. In the same period, the company delivered 6,584 vehicles.
<h2>100,000 Electric Delivery Vans will be on the roads by 2030</h2>

The goal of Amazon and Rivian to create an electrified delivery fleet has been obstructed by supply chain problems and inflation. When the deal between the two companies was first announced in 2019, 100,000 vans aimed to be on the roads by 2024.  However, now, Amazon changed its projection to 2030. The EV startup Rivian has also <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/rivian-86-billion-valuation-biggest-ipo">struggled with</a> mass production last year, as delivery-ready vehicles may show severe production-related issues.
The vice president of Amazon Transportation, Udit Madan, said, “We’re always excited for the holiday season, but making deliveries to customers across the country with our new zero-emission vehicles for the first time makes this year unique”. He also stated that over 5 million packages have been delivered with Rivian’s EDVs so far and as the number of EDVs is going up to 100,000, the delivery numbers will grow exponentially.

12 Largest EV Battery Manufacturers in the World

Tesla has become an automotive giant that builds electric vehicles all over the world. From the old GM-Toyota factory in Fremont, California to China&#8217;s largest EV production hub in Shanghai, Tesla cars are made in five locations (including Tesla Semi pilot line in Nevada) on three different continents.
Elon Musk calls its Tesla plants &#8216;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-gigafactories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gigafactories&#8217;</a>. These production sites are currently building five different electric vehicles. Tesla Model Y is the most popular EV in the world. Understandably, it has the most diverse production operation as well. Model Y has been built in four locations; Fremont Factory, Giga Shanghai, Giga Texas, and Giga Berlin. Mid-size electric sedan Model 3 is manufactured at the Fremont and Shanghai factories. High-end EVs Model S and X&#8217;s production is exclusive to Fremont facility. And the newest member of the Tesla family, the electric truck Tesla Semi has been in low-volume production at a manufacturing site close to Giga Nevada. Semi&#8217;s mass production will be held at Giga Texas, hopefully starting next year.

Giga Shanghai is Tesla&#8217;s export hub and has the highest production output among other gigafactories. Therefore, Shanghai factory produces more than half of the Model Ys and Model 3s built in the world. That will change when the new Texas and Berlin factories ramp up their Model Y production. According to the latest info, Giga Berlin will reach a 5,000 Model Ys per week production rate in Q1 2023. Texas facility&#8217;s output will be lower than Berlin because of the slower than expected implementation of the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/what-is-structural-battery-ctc-ctb-ev-battery-packs-explained">structural battery pack</a> that uses Tesla&#8217;s proprietary cell design 4680.

According to rumors, the Shanghai factory would get a chance in 2023 to produce Chinese versions of the Model S and Model X to avoid hefty import taxes. Tesla China will also develop and produce a budget-friendly Tesla model at the expansion site right next to Giga Shanghai.
Cybertruck is the most desired future model that Tesla fans eagerly waiting for. It will be made in Giga Texas, where a special production line is designed specifically for the famous electric pickup truck. The unique design and the platform of the Cybertruck will allow Tesla to reduce production costs a lot. That will help Texas-based company lower its starting price to keep up with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-f-150-lightning-pro-extended-range">Ford&#8217;s F-150 Lightning</a> and the Amazon-backed Rivian&#8217;s promising offering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1t">R1T</a>.
Tesla&#8217;s second-generation Roadster is also due production in Texas. Tesla is committed to making Austin, Texas its largest manufacturing hub. There is a 4680 battery cell production line in Texas as well. Both the Cybertruck and Roadster will only be possible with the new structural battery pack and Tesla&#8217;s bigger cell design.

Volvo Cars and Ford Motor Company have announced that they are coming together through a startup to initiate a first-of-its-kind electric vehicle battery recycling program in California.
In a press release, the e-waste startup, Redwood Materials, has stated that the two companies will collaborate to create safe, efficient, and effective recovery approaches for the dead battery packs of hybrid and electric vehicles. First supported by Volvo and Ford, this battery recycling program will accept all lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries in California.
Redwood Materials recycles lithium-ion batteries, phones, laptops’ power tools, and other e-waste. In September, Ford and the Nevada-based startup agreed on determining the pathways to recycle batteries of Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Redwood Materials will invest more than $30 million in electrification by 2025. As a part of this plan, Ford had invested $50 million in Redwood to help the startup’s production line while the relationship between Volvo and Redwood is recently established.
<h2>Redwood Recycling since 2017</h2>

Redwood was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, who co-founded <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-s-plaid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a>, where he served as CTO and then in an advisory role through 2019.
The main objective of the Nevada-based startup is to create a circular supply chain by scrapping and processing discarded batteries and extracting materials like cobalt, nickel, and lithium that are typically mined, and then supplying those back to Panasonic and other customers, including Amazon, Ford, and AESC Envision in Tennessee. On average, Redwood claims that its technology can salvage more than 95% of elements like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper.
Redwood is advancing its recycling operations to collect used battery packs of electric vehicles. Ford and Volvo decided to choose California for the joint recycling program with Redwood since it has been a steady leader in the electrification of transportation and houses.
Jim Farley, CEO of Ford Motor Company, described the Redwood team as “world-class technology and know-how”. He also stated: &#8220;This new program with Redwood Materials will help Ford lead America&#8217;s transition to sustainable and carbon-neutral EV manufacturing and ultimately help make electric vehicles more environmentally responsible and affordable for our customers.&#8221;

After months of speculations, Rivian finally made its debut on the stock market. Electric vehicle startup&#8217;s stock began trading at $106, almost %40 higher than its expected price of $78. Rivian was founded in 2009 by RJ Scaringe, an MIT engineering grad who previously failed on some other EV startups. This time was different. Today Rivian reached an $86 billion valuation after only delivering a few dozens of electric pickups.
Rivian was backed by e-commerce giant Amazon last year. Jeff Bezos is the largest investor of the American EV-maker. Rivian&#8217;s stock market success is not a big surprise to the EV community since wealth investors valued the company $27.6 billion in its early 2021 funding round. 
The young automaker has two vehicles on its portfolio; electric pickup <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rivian R1T</a> and the large electric SUV <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rivian R1S</a>. R1T has four electric motors that produce 800 HP, 1,220 Nm of torque. Top speed is 200 km per hour. It has a 135-kWh battery pack which is enough for 300 miles of range. R1T has also similar specs, consumption figures slightly higher than its pickup version.
Rivian&#8217;s stock had a $109 price pre-market. Its valuation reached $99 billion right now. The CEO and founder of the company RJ Scaringe&#8217;s stake is worth more than $1.7 billion, as he welcomed into the billionaire&#8217;s club yesterday. But not everything is that promising for the auto industry&#8217;s one of the first electric pickup manufacturers.
<h2>Rivian still struggles with mass production and deliveries</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7041 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689-1024x577.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="423" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689-768x433.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689-1568x884.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/rivian-r1t-deliveries-1-e1636640948689.jpg 1817w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
According to forum posts published by the future Rivian owners and some Reddit entries, Rivian&#8217;s delivery process is not as smooth as its public offering. Some R1T pre-orders&#8217; delivery time pushed back from October 2021 to February 2022, in some cases to even April 2022. The reason for the delay is supply chain problems, according to the manufacturer. But some argue that Rivian is still struggling with mass production, as delivery-ready vehicles may show severe production-related issues.
Even though the company is now worth almost $100 billion which is more than legacy automakers Ford and General Motors, deliveries of Rivian&#8217;s first vehicle will most likely extend into the first quarter of 2022.
