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.

Toyota received criticism for its advertisements a few years ago that referred to their electrically assisted vehicles as self-charging hybrids. The news is that a German bus will soon be refueling on a wireless ev charging highway in the city of Balingen. It is the newest step in turning that fantasy into a reality.
Even while the project is limited to a single bus, it is not difficult to see how the technology can eventually be used in vehicles and other places all over the world.
Governor of Michigan stated in December of last year that the state will investigate wireless in-road refueling on its roadways. If automobiles can charge while driving, their batteries may be smaller. It makes them lighter, more efficient, and much less expensive.
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-31322 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-300x168.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-768x431.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-2048x1150.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ekran-Resmi-2023-01-02-00.00.41-1568x881.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Similar to how inductive charging on cell phones functions, so does automotive technology. Magnetic coils in the ground transmit electricity to a coil on the automobile through the air. Car static charge stations have been available for a while. The fact remains that charging highways are more complex and are still in the planning stages.
<h2>Wireless EV Charging System</h2>
For the Balingen project, Israeli firm Electreon and German firm EnBW have collaborated to install 0.6 mile/1 km of Electric Road System (ERS) along a section of German highway, as well as two static charging stations at spots where the bus usually stops along its route. The Electreon will build charging infrastructure, which will get up to $3.2 million in funding.

At EnBW&#8217;s training facility in Karlsruhe, Germany, Electreon, and EnBW conducted a successful pilot study in the past. More recently, Eurovia and Electreon presented a proposal to electrify a section of the German highway in Bavaria.
While Stellantis tested a site modeled after a motorway in Italy to explore inductive charging, Sweden has its own wireless charging road project. Perhaps in ten years, the Mazda MX-30 with its meager 100 mile/160km range will be a design that was ahead of its time.

First batch of Voyah FREE EVs leave China, Norway launch is imminent

China&#8217;s one of the most promising EV makers Leapmotor is set to raise $1 billion in Hong Kong IPO next week. It has been climbing up the ladder in the Chinese market&#8217;s best-selling EVs chart with the affordable hatchback called T03. Zhejiang-based company also recently launched its impressively designed first electric sedan <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C01</a>. It is now time to collect some funding for further R&amp;D operations and global expansion.
Related Article: <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/best-chinese-ev-manufacturers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11 Remarkable Chinese EV Manufacturers</a>
Leapmotor shares expected to begin trading on September 29. EV maker plans to sell about 131 million shares in a range of 48 to 62 HK$, which is the equivalent of $6-8 per share. This IPO will probably be the biggest this year on Hong Kong Exchange. Leapmotor already guaranteed a total of $308 million from China&#8217;s state-run funds, such as Zhejiang Industrial Fund and Jinhua Industrial Fund, alongside some other investors who have shown interest.
Established in 2015 Leapmotor&#8217;s ultimate goal is to develop and commercialize automotive technologies. It has since applied for over 1,617 patents, most of which are related to electric drivetrains, battery systems, self-driving tech, AI, etc. Its first manufacturing facility Jinhua AI Factory, which is fully operational as of 2021, has an annual capacity of 250,000 EVs.
Leapmotor has already sold more than 76,000 vehicles this year. It was 43,748 last year. The company will most likely triple its sales this year compared to 2021. It has sales operations in 151 cities in China, and the first export vehicles are already on their way to western customers.
<h2>First Leapmotor EV Received Type Approval from EU</h2>

Leapmotor is expanding its EV operations to other countries. It recently confirmed that the budget-friendly Leapmotor T03 officially received its type approval from European Union. It is already on sale in Turkey and coming very soon to Israel. A few European countries will also follow suit in the coming months.
Chinese company plans to launch seven new electric vehicles on the market by 2025. Its goal is to sell as many as 800,000 EVs globally in the next 4-5 years. In order to expand its business and continue to develop new automotive technologies, Leapmotor is seeking a significant amount of funding from its IPO.

Chinese EV maker Leapmotor seeks $1bn in Hong Kong IPO

Israel has become one of the most EV-friendly countries in the Middle East. Regular ICE vehicles are subject to high taxation (up to 83 percent, including purchase tax and VAT), while there is only a 10 percent tax on fully-electric models in Israel. Auto-importers are exploiting the unbalance between two kinds of cars, and the first brands to benefit from this are, of course, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/best-chinese-ev-manufacturers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers</a>.
People in Israel are not only facing heft taxation when buying a vehicle, but they also have to burden 62 percent taxation when filling up their tanks. Thus, low tax levels on electric car purchases and tax-free electricity give this country no other option than to adopt EVs.
We realized the rising popularity of EVs in Israel and prepared a list of budget-friendly Chinese electric vehicles in order to help our visitors from Israel easily compare affordable EV options.

9 Affordable Chinese EVs Available in Israel

Chinese electric vehicle brands are a top priority at Licarco because the EV market has become increasingly dominated by pure electric Chinese cars. Last year, China sold more EVs than the rest of the world. BYD, NIO, ORA, and Geely are some of the biggest Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.
Even though China has been producing millions of EVs for years, American drivers wouldn&#8217;t be able to buy one. It&#8217;s because vehicles made in China are subjected to a %27.5 import tariff in the US. Due to heavy taxation, Chinese brands had not prioritized the US auto market in their global plans. But that&#8217;s changing quickly, as more and more Chinese EV marques are expanding their reach towards western markets, including United States.
In this article, we gathered a list of Chinese EV brands and their expansion plans. We will update this post when an announcement is made regarding any Chinese EV maker&#8217;s global expansion.

Leapmotor, an emerging EV brand backed by Dahua Technology, has plans to enter the European market in 2023. The brand officials confirmed that Leapmotor would open showrooms in Europe. To finance its globalization plans, Hangzhou-based carmaker filed its first IPO that worths around $1.5bn at Hong Kong Exchange.
The brand has already started to sell electric vehicles in Turkey and Israel, starting with the compact hatchback called <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-t03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor T03</a>. The first EV to be showcased in Europe will probably be the electric sedan C01. With its sleek design, cell-to-chassis technology, and impressive performance figures, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/leapmotor-c01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leapmotor C01</a> will attract a lot of customers.
<h2>BYD</h2>

Which Chinese EV Brands Are Coming To United States and Europe?

Polestar

One of the biggest challenges of the EV industry is to provide longer ranges with a single charge. That’s why companies try to develop batteries that can be charged as fast as possible.
Polestar has officially announced that it will make its first financial investment in Israeli battery technology innovator, StoreDot.
StoreDot is the pioneer in manufacturing extreme fast charging (XFC) batteries that will overcome the range and charging anxiety of the EV industry. StoreDot&#8217;s strategic investors and partners include Daimler, BP, VinFast, Volvo, Ola Electric, Samsung, TDK, and the manufacturing partner EVE Energy.
<h2>Revolutionizing the battery architecture</h2>
Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingelath says that “Charging and range anxiety are common concerns holding owners of combustion engine cars back from making the switch to EVs. Store Dot’s advanced battery technology potentially provides real solutions to these obstacles.”
The company has revolutionized the conventional Li-ion battery and has been using two different techniques to produce XFC batteries.
The first technique of StoreDot is to replace the conventional graphite in the battery’s anode with silicon nanoparticles, synthesized together with proprietary small-molecule organic compounds. The Israeli company says that this mix overcomes the inherent challenges of the silicon such as its expansion during the charging cycles and the subsequent energy loss.
Secondly, the battery manufacturer company developed a hybrid-solid electrolyte, which creates a low-resistance flow of ions between the battery’s electrodes, increasing energy density.
<h2>StoreDot promises  100 miles range in under 5 mins</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-12057" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1024x643.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="471" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1024x643.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-300x188.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-768x482.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1536x965.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-2048x1286.jpeg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1568x985.jpeg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Through its ‘100inX’ product roadmap, StoreDot is confident that its batteries will deliver 160 km/100 miles of charge in five minutes by 2024, three minutes by 2028, and just two minutes by 2032. In other words, this will be the same time it takes to refuel a conventional combustion engine car.
With this partnership, StoreDot will adapt and apply its technology to the prototypes of Polestar’s EVs. If this pilot program becomes successful, the company will put its fast-charging batteries into Polestars by 2026.
StoreDot CEO, Dr. Doron Myersdorf, adds, “We are extremely excited to be entering into an agreement with Polestar, both as an investor and collaborator. Like us, Polestar is an extremely ambitious, innovative brand and is already proving to be pivotal in the mass adoption of electric vehicles, helping us move to a cleaner, zero-emissions world. We are looking forward to working together and we know that our technologies have huge potential to eradicate charging and range anxieties for future Polestar owners.”
