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.

🔋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.

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.

BMW Unveils the Concept That Will Kick Off Its Major EV Transformation This Week!

MINI

The Cooper 3-door hatchback, which will be entirely electric and arrive in 2024, was revealed by MINI. The EV and its ICE-powered counterpart will be on sale together. However, the platforms for the two vehicles will differ.
Spotlight Automotive, a joint venture between Great Wall Motors and the BMW Group, created an EV-specific architecture on which the next MINI will run. According to Autocar, a single electric motor will provide 181 horsepower (135 kW/184 PS) in ordinary form and 215 horsepower (160 kW/218 PS) in the SE model. A JWC hot hatch with even more horsepower will release.
<h2>MINI Will Have Two Distinct Battery Sizes: 40 kWh and 54 kWh</h2>
There will be two distinct battery sizes. Each has a capacity of 40 kWh and 54 kWh, giving an electric range of at least 386 km/240 miles. The stated specifications are an upgrade over the previous MINI Cooper SE&#8217;s 181 horsepower (135 kW/184 PS) and 235 km/144 miles of range from a 32.6 kWh battery.
The vehicle maintains its predecessors&#8217; three-door body style and a small footprint while continuing the progressive stylistic approach. It gains wider tracks, a slightly longer wheelbase, reduced overhangs, and larger oval-shaped headlamps than the current model.
A bigger free-standing spherical OLED touchscreen situated in the middle of the dashboard will enhance the interior of the next MINI. While the majority of functions will be integrated into the infotainment system. There will also be physical controls on the center console and steering wheel. Additionally, conventional ignition keys will be available for both ICE and EV models.
The fancy head-up display of the new Cooper EV will replace the outdated traditional digital instrument cluster of the current generation, boosting the interior&#8217;s minimalist design. Sustainable and animal-free upholstery alternatives will eventually be available for the whole MINI series.
<h2>The New Cooper EV Will Cost Over $35,500</h2>
A recent report from Car Magazine says that manufacturing of the next MINI Cooper EV may go to Oxford, UK, alongside the ICE-powered models. Previously, there was speculation that production would take place in Jiangsu, China. Although it is not yet certain, the BMW Group will make a public statement.
MINI CEO Stefanie Wurst said the new Cooper EV will cost over £30,000 ($35,500). Ahead of its ICE-powered equivalent, which will follow in July 2024, the new model will make its premiere in May 2024. In addition to the compact hatchbacks, MINI is also working on the next-generation Countryman SUV. The model will go on sale in February 2024. And the Aceman, an all-electric vehicle will follow in 2025.

A 240-Mile Range MINI Cooper EV To Debuts in 2024

Saudi Arabia has chosen to enter the EV market by launching its own brand with Foxconn after investing substantially in Lucid.  Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman seeks to diversify the country&#8217;s economy to lessen its dependency on the oil sector.
The kingdom&#8217;s sovereign wealth fund announced this week that it would establish the Ceer electric car brand together with Foxconn of Taiwan. It will create EVs in Saudi Arabia for the first time ever.  It also designs, manufactures, and markets various vehicles for customers in the nation and the MENA area, including sedans and sports utility vehicles.

Interestingly, Saudi Arabia&#8217;s EV brand will license component technology from BMW through a joint venture with Foxconn. The future &#8220;infotainment, connection, and self-driving technology&#8221; of EVs be under Foxconn&#8217;s responsibility in the meantime. However, it is unclear at this time if the Taiwanese corporation would contribute its own funds to the joint venture.
<h2>Foxconn to Design Electrical Architecture</h2>
Foxconn will be responsible for the electrical design of the cars. Resulting in a consequence, there should be &#8220;a spectrum of goods that will pioneer in the fields of entertainment, connection, and self-driving technology.&#8221; Despite chairman Young Liu claims Foxconn and Ceer seek to make EVs widely available. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the market placement of Ceer EVs.

CATL, the world&#8217;s biggest lithium-ion battery cell manufacturer, will invest €7.34 billion into a huge battery plant in Hungary. The battery giant announced today that it plans to start construction for its second European battery plant in the Hungarian city of Debrecen. The Chinese company already established a branch in the country last February.
Debrecen is the second largest city in the European country after Budapest. The city happens to be the home of BMW&#8217;s recent EV plant investment, as well. Last June, the German carmaker confirmed its new EV factory location as Debrecen, Hungary. BMW&#8217;s new plant will start producing electric vehicles with CATL battery packs in 2025.
The new plant will be one of the largest factories Chinese battery maker ever built. It will cover an area of 2.21 million square meters. The planned annual production capacity is 100 GWh. According to documents issued by the company in China, the Hungary plant&#8217;s all phases will be complete in 64 months/or before the end of 2027.

After CATL&#8217;s official announcement, Mercedes-Benz said the plant would supply battery cells for its EV factories in Germany and Hungary. Mercedes recently confirmed an investment of €1 billion to expand EV production capacity at the Kecskemét, Hungary plant.
CATL will not only deliver lithium-ion cells but also battery modules for European carmakers. In May, the company made a deal with BMW to supply cylindrical NMC cells starting from 2025. These cells will probably be produced in Hungary.
Hungary is home to car factories from 14 out of the top 20 automakers in the world. Volkswagen Group and Stellantis have also been producing electric vehicles in this country. According to Chinese sources, CATL&#8217;s Hungary investment is not the only one. Another Chinese EV battery maker EVE is also planning a significant investment in a lithium-ion battery cell plant in the same city. It will be smaller than CATL&#8217;s plant, but it will definitely benefit Hungary&#8217;s EV industry.
The first European battery plant CATL built is due this year. Its annual capacity is around 14 GWh. German authorities recently issued a permit for an 8 GWh production, though. CATL originally planned to expand its German factory, but bureaucratic procedures made them choose a much larger site for the second plant.
