🔋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.

Tesla

After leading various projects from software to motors, batteries to lithium production for 18 years, Drew Baglino has left Tesla.
With approximately 14,000 employees, representing 10% of the workforce, set to part ways with Tesla in the coming days, a comprehensive restructuring has officially begun.
In addition to Baglino, Rohan Patel responsible for business development and policies, also announced his departure from the upper management. This marks the first major executive change since CFO Zach Kirkhorn&#8217;s departure in August 2023.
Elon emphasized the need for periodic renewal for the company to sustain its growth targets, and so far, he has successfully drawn significant efficiency from young executives developed internally. It&#8217;s anticipated that filling the vacant positions won&#8217;t pose much of a challenge.
With Tesla falling behind its targets in high-volume 4680 cell production, starting its own cathode active material production, and in its robotaxi projects, it remains to be seen whether Tesla can progress at the pace Elon desires in the upcoming period.

Kia’s Huge Investment in Electric Commercial Vehicles!

Toyota

It is stated that the electric robotaxi can travel on the route anywhere in the world as Level 4. That is completely driverless.
Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota exhibited its first all-electric robotaxis at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, China yesterday.
The robotaxi was developed on the basis of the bZ4X. The vehicle is also produced in China in cooperation with GAC Motor. It uses the software and hardware of the Chinese autonomous driving initiative Pony-ai, in which Toyota announced an investment of $ 400 million in 2020.
