Mazda

Mazda MX-30 is a compact electric crossover offering only 200 kilometers of range. It is the first fully electric car Mazda ever built. MX-30 has also a plug-in hybrid version.
It comes with 143 HP, 271 Nm of torque and 140 km/h top speed. It can reach 100 km per hour in 9.7 seconds. Front-wheel drive electric SUV only supports 50 kW DC charging. Its 35.5-kWh small battery pack can be charged from 20 percent to 80 percent in 36 minutes.
Mazda has been manufacturing the MX-30 Electric and the plug-in hybrid versions at its Hiroshima plant in Japan since 2019. First electric Mazda is available in the United States, UK, and Europe. It starts at around £26,000 in the UK.
<h2>Performance</h2>
Mazda offers MX-30 with a single electric motor located at the front axle. It produces 143 horsepower and 271 Nm torque. Top speed is limited to 140 km per hour and reaching 100 km/h will take 9.7 seconds. It’s one of the slowest cars on its segment, but driving experience is very smooth and comfortable.
<h2>Design and Features</h2>
Mazda didn’t choose the futuristic EV design road when designing the MX-30. It is an ordinary looking car; front and back sides are almost identical to its gas-powered sibling CX-30. BMW i3-style clamshell doors (or as some calls it the freestyle doors) definitely give the car a more energetic feeling. But rear seat passengers can’t open their windows and accessing to the rear row is not easy. Styling eliminated the practicality in this case.
It has got an 8.8-inch non-touch infotainment display which supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. There is also a second screen for climate control, a 7-inch touch display contains large UI elements that better to use while driving.
12-speaker Bose sound system, electric front seat adjustments and sunroof all are only available on the highest trim level.
<h2>Range and Charging</h2>
Mazda provided MX-30 with a rather small battery pack, a 35.5-kWh capacity. It is enough for a range of 200 kilometers according to the WLTP testing cycle. Small electric crossover can be charge with 50 kW DC plugs. It takes 36 minutes to get from 20% to 80%. It can also be fully charged with the 6.6 kW AC on-board charger in 4.5 hours.

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.

Volvo

The EX30, a forthcoming compact, totally electric SUV from Volvo, has a new teaser video that offers a more detailed look at the car. The EX30 will be formally demonstrated on June 7th, the company has also announced. Online patent photographs of the EV&#8217;s external design have also appeared, giving a thorough overview of the car&#8217;s complete look.
The EX90 flagship and the smallest SUV in Volvo&#8217;s expanding lineup were originally revealed in November 2022. It naturally takes many stylistic influences from its older brother, but it also has a chunkier, sportier, and more fun appearance to keep up with competitive vehicles.
The split taillights, pixel-style headlamps, and general surfacing are shared characteristics between the EX30 and the EX90. On the other hand, the EX30 resembles the somewhat bigger XC40 in terms of its small footprint, dimensions, and greenhouse. The bodywork is more sculpted than the typical Volvo, with the clamshell bonnet&#8217;s closed lines emphasizing the toned-up fenders.
<h2>Single And Dual Electric Motors Will Be Options</h2>
The modular SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform from Geely, which already supports SUVs of a size comparable to the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/smart-1">Smart #1</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/zeekr-x">Zeekr X</a>, is believed to be used as the basis for the Volvo EX30. Both single and dual electric motors, as well as battery packs with various capacities, will probably be options.
The EX30 was described as &#8220;really important&#8221; for the brand earlier this year when Volvo CEO Jim Rowan spoke about it. He stated that it will be provided at a &#8220;really nice price point,&#8221; while being &#8220;very safe,&#8221; with a &#8220;decent range,&#8221; and &#8220;high quality&#8221; at a &#8220;good size.&#8221; As it focuses on online sales and suggests a new subscription-based ownership plan with a three-month commitment, Volvo is hoping that the release of its new entry-level SUV will help the company connect with younger customers.
We will be on the lookout for additional teases and updates as the manufacturer promised &#8220;a lot more details&#8221; regarding the EX30 in the upcoming weeks. The Volvo EX30 will start taking pre-orders in a few locations on June 7, the day of its debut, it was also revealed. China will be the location of production.

Shell is acquiring one of its competitors, Volta, for $169 million. Volta Charging’s difference has always been that its business model is centered on ad sales. According to the US Department of Energy (DOE) data on January 2023, Volta Charging Inc. is the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">4th largest charging network</a> and media company with 3,172 individual charging ports across the US.
Related Article: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US</a>
With the acquisition of Volta, Shell Recharge Solutions will be the 4th largest EV charging network in the US. According to the acquisition announcement, Shell would provide Volta with loans to support the company until the planned acquisition is completed in the first half of 2023.

Shell USA Inc, a subdivision of Shel plc, will rename the existing EV charging stations of Volta Inc after the deal is approved by the board of directors at Volta. Vince Cubbage, interim CEO of Volta stated that “While the EV infrastructure market opportunity is potentially enormous, Volta&#8217;s ability to capture it independently, in challenging market conditions and with ongoing capital constraints, was limited. This transaction creates value for our shareholders and provides our exceptional employees and other stakeholders a clear path forward.&#8221;
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Shell Trying to Stay in the Game</h2>

While the automotive industry is evolving towards producing all-electric vehicles, oil companies are trying to survive. That’s why Shell acquired an EV charging network Greenlots back in 2019 and now Volta Charging. These moves will play quite a role in achieving its goals of adding 50,000 on-street EV charging posts in the UK and reaching to 500,000 charging points globally by the end of 2025.
We saw at CES 2023 that several EV companies launched new products for home and commercial charging. Furthermore, EVgo has announced its agreement with Amazon for an Alexa-assisted EV charging service connected to more than 150,000 US public EVgo charging stations. Those developments show us that the EV and EV charging industry will continue to grow as more companies enter into the business and consumers demand, government mandates and regulations will contribute to the expansion of the industry.

While Volvo Cars is trying to find ways to create an EV charging corridor in the Pacific Northwest, Volvo Trucks is also attempting to build another charging network for its all-electric semi-trucks in production and it has already started making partnerships with key players.
Volvo is about to ally with Shell Recharge Solutions (formerly known as Greenlots), TEC Equipment, Affinity Truck Center, and Western Truck Center. The partnership aims to build a widely accessible medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle (MHD EV) charging network along with the most important port cities and industrial centers throughout California.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) under BESTFIT has granted the Volvo Group a $2 million endowment to begin “the Electrified Charging Corridor Project”.  The project will help to overcome the problems of long-range MHD EV deployments and slow widespread adoption.

Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America, explains the project’s goal as opening the door to a completely electrified freight future in which zero-tailpipe emission MHD EV trucks will be no longer limited to short-mileage and return-to-base operations and will reach far and wide across the state. He also stated that:
“We are excited to begin construction of the Electrified Charging Corridor Project this year in collaboration with these pioneering truck dealerships so that we can further support fleets in successfully integrating battery-electric trucks into their operations, including our Volvo VNR Electric model. With the support of the CEC helping to drive and manifest this project, we will see an accelerated progression with ripple effects across the industry.”
The Electrified Charging Corridor Project has three main targets for convenient charging. First, it will help small business fleets that will be in financial hardship if they make a major investment into the charging network. Secondly, the project will create opportunities for the fleets looking to pilot an MHD EV through rent or short-term leasing. And thirdly, fleets that need an OEM-neutral location to “opportunity charge” along their route will benefit from the charging network of Volvo Group.
CEC Commissioner Patty Monahan states that “The Energy Commission is thrilled to support the Electrified Charging Corridor Project, which will help California meet its goals for zeroing out tailpipe emissions from trucks.”
Volvo Trucks claims that the project will begin very quickly later this year with all five stations planned to be available by the end of 2023.

Volvo to build a charging corridor for its all-electric trucks

Rivian

Last month, The Environmental Protection Agency announced $500 million in financing for electric school buses. It’s the first installment of President Biden’s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/epa-has-released-the-specifics-of-a-5-billion-electrified-school-bus-initiative">$5 billion</a> Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Biden administration has also proposed a new program this time of the same financial size called the National Electric Vehicle Charging Network.
The $5 billion budgeted for the program will help to install at least four superchargers every 50 miles/80 kilometers along important highways. To qualify for funds, electric chargers must meet the demands of all drivers on no account of whatever electric vehicle they are driving. The Federal Highway Administration has proposed a new rule which would allow electric vehicle owners to use charging stations across the country that have identical payment mechanisms, pricing information, and charging rates.

<h2>Every Americans Will Be Able To Reach the EV Charging Station</h2>
The main objective here is to ensure that chargers work like this in every region and are simple to locate, use, and pay for regardless of who owns them. The funding program will enable to deliver of EV charging to rural, underserved, and difficult-to-reach areas. This charging scheme for public roadways has an outcome that will provide $2.5 billion to establish Level 2 EV chargers in poor or service-deprived communities. It will allow all Americans to benefit from the EV transformation.
The specifications for the DC fast chargers are likewise not mentioned in the announcement. A 50 kW unit classifies as a rapid charger, but by today&#8217;s standards, it&#8217;s already an antique worthy of the Smithsonian. The current standard is 150 kW, however, 300 kW, 350 kW, and greater chargers are increasingly becoming accessible.

Nissan

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=nissan">Nissan</a> debuted its macro prototype production facility for laminated all-solid-state battery (ASSB) cells. The plant is situated in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, as part of the Nissan Research Center.
In November 2021, the Japanese company confirmed the in-house progress of solid-state batteries, with plans to set up trial manufacturing at its Yokohama Plant in fiscal 2024 and release the very first EV enabled by the new batteries in fiscal 2028.
The newly designed production process is a crucial stage toward commercial exploitation of those upcoming batteries, which Nissan expects to focus on providing a power density roughly twice that of classic <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-long-electric-car-battery-last-battery-replacement-cost">lithium-ion batteries</a>, considerably shorter charging time due to outstanding charge/discharge results, and reduced cost due to the ability to use less expensive materials.

Nissan has been developing lithium-ion batteries for a long time (over 20 years), and we fully comprehend that the company plans to continue its in-house technique with solid-state batteries as well. As we&#8217;ve seen, the external form factor is similar to the company&#8217;s current conventional cells &#8211; laminated cells.
In presenting the prototype production facility, Nissan reiterated its very ambitious battery cell cost targets of $75 per kWh in fiscal 2028 and $65 per kWh thereafter (on the pack level). According to Nissan, electric car costs should indeed be lowered to the very same level as internal combustion engine vehicles.
<h2>Nissan battery technology goals in a nutshell</h2>
<ul>
<li>Nissan intends to introduce cobalt-free lithium-ion batteries to bring down the cost by 65% by fiscal year 2028 (by the end of March 2029)</li>
<li>Nissan intends to launch electric vehicle with &#8220;its proprietary all-solid-state batteries (ASSB)&#8221; by fiscal year 2028 (by the end of March 2029). A pilot plant in Yokohama should be ready as early as fiscal year 2024</li>
<li>All-solid-state batteries (ASSB) target cost: 
$75 per kWh on the pack level by fiscal year 2028 
potential to achieve $65/kWh on the pack level</li>
<li>Global battery supply targets: 
52 GWh by by fiscal year 2026 (by the end of March 2027) 
130 GWh by fiscal year 2030 (by the end of March 2031)</li>
<li>EV36Zero (EV hub concept) fully integrated manufacturing to spread globally: Europe (UK), Japan, China and in the U.S.</li>
</ul>
