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.

Tesla

🔥 Provides heating with much less energy in cold weather.
Summary: To heat the cold cabin and battery faster in winter, to collect the waste heat generated in different parts of the vehicle, to reduce the effect of DC charging on the battery in hot weather and keep the charging speed higher, to create different thermal system modes for different heat needs and climate conditions and to perform adaptive heat management.
🔋The heat pump ensures that the battery can be heated as quickly as possible in cold weather, and that the heat generated during hot weather and DC charging can be transferred most effectively, thus extending the battery life and increasing the average charging speed in hot weather.
✅Unlike the PTC heater, the heat pump, which is not a heat generator but a heat transfer system, can collect heat from the air or the vehicle&#8217;s battery, engine, and inverter systems and produce 4 kWh of heat by consuming 1 kWh of energy. While the PTC heater system requires more than 1 kW of power at 0 degrees, this falls below 0.5 kW on average in the heat pump system.
🟢Thanks to the use of propane in new-generation heat pumps, system size decreases, weight decreases, and thanks to the 50% higher heat storage capacity of propane, energy consumption also decreases, and the efficiency of the thermal system increases. Chinese companies have developed heat pump systems that reduce energy consumption even at -40 degrees.

Importance of Heat Pump In Electric Vehicles!

Mercedes-Benz

Electric vehicles are transforming every aspect of the automotive industry. The new solution introduced by the German ZF today shows that even heated seat belts will change with electric vehicles.
The product, called the “Heated Seat Belts”, is formed by knitting conductors of one rope thickness into the belt fabric. The belt can reach 40 degrees in seconds with only 70 watts of power. It will allow the driver and passengers to warm up quickly on cold days.
<h2>Why Is a Heated Seat Belt Needed and How Does It Affect Range in an Electric Vehicle?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-32002 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/zf-heat-belt-threads-1536x864-1-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/zf-heat-belt-threads-1536x864-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/zf-heat-belt-threads-1536x864-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/zf-heat-belt-threads-1536x864-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/zf-heat-belt-threads-1536x864-1.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Since <a href="https://www.licarco.com/search?_=electric%20vehicle">electric vehicles</a> do not have an inefficient internal combustion engine and cannot use the heat emitted by this engine, the PTC heater or heat pump must be operated by using the energy in the battery to warm the cabin on cold days. The energy spent on heating can cause range loss of up to tens of kilometers in some cases.
ZF develops a heated seat belt in the most compact way possible based on the request of the automobile industry. This solution can be quickly integrated into the mass production line of existing cars. It looks like a normal belt and is produced in a normal belt thickness.
According to the calculation of the German company, the electric car range, which decreases during the winter months, can be extended up to 15% thanks to this belt. The seat belt, which may instantly heat the driver or passenger&#8217;s upper body and waist, is not a new concept. In 2018, it was shared that Ford received a patent for a similar belt. The following year, a heated belt was also used in a safety vehicle developed by Mercedes. However, a solution as compact as ZF and in a form that can be integrated into existing production has not been offered to the market until now.
In order to minimize the seasonal range difference in electric vehicles, not only heated belts are developed. Advanced heat pumps that enable heating/cooling in a shorter time with less energy compared to PTC heaters, thermal management systems, and BMSs that provide high-accuracy tracking of batteries and battery cells indicate that the concept of winter range will not be as scary as it is today in the next few years.

ZF Heated Seat Belts to Increase Range in Electric Vehicles

Volkswagen

Passat, which has been at the top of the best-selling cars lists for many years will no longer be produced. The vehicle&#8217;s sedan counterpart, known to be replaced by an all-electric model, was officially introduced: Volkswagen ID.7.
The sedan named ID 7 was actually introduced under the name of ID Aero last year. This time, it appeared before those waiting for the vehicle with its design ready for mass production. It is certain that the illuminated camouflage on the electric vehicle, which was showcased at CES 2023 held in Las Vegas, USA, will attract intense attention from the visitors.

Announcing in a press release that the electric Passat will offer a range of 700 kilometers. It will come with a giant 15-inch infotainment system screen. The German automotive giant also states that the cabin can be heated and cooled much faster. It is expected to achieve this with the help of a heat pump, which will probably also do the thermal management of the battery. Because in the previous electric vehicles of Volkswagen such as ID.4, due to the lack of a heat pump, it took a long time to heat the cabin with old-generation PTC heaters in cold weather. The range loss was up to 30% because the battery could not reach optimum conditions.
<h2>When To Volkswagen ID.7. Debuts and Release Date?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-31484 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-1024x636.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="466" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-300x186.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-768x477.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-1536x954.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-2048x1272.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/volkswagen-id-7-concept-range-1568x974.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The electric sedan will meet us with the usual taillight design at the rear. But it will have more dynamic-looking headlights at the front. The aerodynamic structure of the vehicle, whose door handles are hidden to reduce friction, will play the biggest role in the 700-kilometer range.
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars Division, announced that the electric Passat, ID.7, will be introduced in April 2023. The vehicle go on sale in the second half of 2023. Announcing that it will manufacture at the Emden factory in Germany for the European and Turkish markets. Volkswagen will also produce the electric sedan ID.7 in three more factories, two in China and one in the USA.
