Zeekr

⚡ Chinese ZEEKR极氪 announced a major update to its first car, the 001, by replacing over 2,000 components.
🔋 The 2024 Zeekr 001, available with 95 and 100 kWh battery options, now features an 800V architecture. This not only boosts charging speeds up to 350 kW but also significantly enhances the vehicle’s efficiency.
🟢 Transitioning to the new-generation thermal management system called PTM 2.0 along with the battery, the 4.9-meter electric crossover can operate efficiently in both high and low temperatures.
💨 The new 001 offers a single-motor option producing 310 kW (422 HP) and a dual-motor option capable of generating 560 kW (762 HP). Hence, it’s expected to have a starting price around $40,000.
🚗 Equipped with LiDAR sensor-based autonomous driving mode, a new infotainment system powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chipset, and numerous interior design changes, the exact price of the 001 will be revealed upon its release on February 27th.

🔋The 2024 BYD Han boasts a range of 506 km (CLTC), which extends up to 715 kilometers in the version with an 85.44 kWh battery. During today&#8217;s event, it was emphasized for the first time that the car features a silicon carbide chip inverter and an 800V architecture. However, the charging speed of the largest battery being limited to 155 kW indicates that the entire high-voltage system is not yet ready for 800V.
🚗In the performance version of the car, a dual-motor powertrain capable of producing 517 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque is used, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds.

Audi, using NCM811 cathode cells produced by Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) in Germany, states that the larger cell form facilitates battery production. Additionally, it emphasizes that the newly developed smart thermal management system enhances battery life by continuously conditioning the battery and reduces charging time.
Regarding the engine, the company claims a 50% increase in efficiency compared to the first-generation electric Audis and states that it can produce more power with smaller motors by increasing power density by 62%. It should be noted that the Q6 e-tron uses an asynchronous ASM motor at the front and a permanent magnet synchronous PSM motor at the rear, differentiating it from the electric #Macan.

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.

Amprius Technologies, a company that creates batteries, declared today that it has signed a letter of intent for a 775,000-square-foot plant close to Denver. Phases of construction for the battery facility will begin with 500 megawatt-hours. The potential energy output of the first footprint will be up to 5 gigawatt-hours. The company picked the 1.3 million square foot facility in Brighton, Colorado due to it will save money on buildout costs. The reason behind this it already has the required structural design and power supply.
Amprius claims that the facility &#8220;will most probably both expedite time-to-market and achieve successful client fulfillment&#8221; since it is close to vital supplies and transportation infrastructure. As a result of the Biden administration&#8217;s Infrastructure Bill, the US Department of Energy granted Amprius a $50 million cost-sharing grant in October.
Colorado governor Jared Polis said:
&#8216;We need more batteries to power the future. And now we will be manufacturing more of them right here in Colorado. We are excited to welcome Amprius to Colorado. They bring over 300 new good-paying jobs and join Colorado’s innovative and collaborative business community.&#8217;
<h2>Amprius Batteries Can Store More Energy in A Given Volume in Comparison To Traditional Batteries</h2>
Silicon nanowires are used in place of graphite anode in the lithium-ion batteries produced by Amprius, a company with headquarters in Fremont. It was created by a professor from Stanford University. Amprius batteries are able to store more energy in a given volume than conventional batteries. Because the increased energy density made possible it.
Or, as the company puts it, “This means our cells provide more energy and power with much less weight and volume.” Alternatively, in the words of the company, &#8220;This means our cells produce more energy and power with significantly less weight and volume.&#8221; As a result, its batteries give EVs increased range, fast charging, and higher energy density.
<ul>
<li>5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) potential</li>
<li>775,000-square foot facility in Brighton, Colorado</li>
<li>Producing the industry’s highest energy density cells</li>
<li>Close proximity to essential supply chain partners</li>
<li>Funded in part by the $50 million cost-sharing grant from the DOE</li>
<li>The largest battery factory in Colorado</li>
