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.

December 27: LG Chem&#8217;s battery cathode facility held its groundbreaking ceremony last week. The corporation has modified some of its initial goals.
Originally, the facility was scheduled to begin construction in Q1 2023 and begin mass production in the latter part of 2025. Thus, the production debut date has been rescheduled to &#8220;starting from 2026,&#8221; over a year after the groundbreaking.
Originally, LG Chem stated that by 2027, it would be producing 120,000 tons of cathode material yearly, which would be sufficient to power the batteries of 1.2 million electric vehicles with a 498 km/310-mile range between charges.
However, as of right now, the factory can only produce half of the initial 600,000 high-performance pure electric car cathode materials that were planned for each year.
Nonetheless, the company claims that in response to rising demand, it would &#8220;expand production capacity.&#8221;
Throughout October, Toyota and LG Chem agreed to a $2.5 billion contract for the supply of cathode materials throughout North America.
November 22, 2022: To construct a $3 billion cathode plant for electric cars, LG Chem and the state of Tennessee inked a memorandum of agreement.
Situated near Clarksville, the new factory will be the biggest of its kind in the United States. By 2027, it is anticipated to generate 120,000 tons of cathode material yearly from its 420 acres of land. That is sufficient to run the batteries in 1.2 million electric vehicles for 498 km/310 miles between charges.
Tennessee was selected, according to LG Chem, due to its accessibility to important clients, the simplicity of transferring raw materials, and the support of regional and local authorities.
It also credits the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed by the Biden administration with spurring the construction of the new factory, which will generate 850 employment.
Global clients like Tesla and General Motors will be supplied by material and recycling partners working together at Tennessee, according to LG Chem.

The $3 Billion EV Battery Cathode Facility Being Built by LG Chem

Ford

According to a press statement from Ford, the company desires to build a vehicle that is &#8220;completely updatable, continually evolving, and enables towing, hauling, exportable power, and limitless new improvements owners will demand.&#8221;
The announcement comes just days before a preview event for Ford&#8217;s massive BlueOval City facility in Tennessee, which the firm claims would be capable of producing 500,000 electric trucks per year at total capacity.
That&#8217;s many times the expedited 150,000-per-year rate at which Ford wants to produce the F-150 Lightning, and next-generation EVs from this factory will account for a sizable chunk of the 2 million EVs per year Ford plans to produce globally by late 2026.
Ford has announced that several items, including those from the Lincoln premium brand, will be manufactured in the BlueOval City factory. The project, and its associated vision, may have begun by late 2021, owing to considerable interest in the F-150 Lightning electric pickup even before it was delivered. The next-generation truck, according to Ford, would be constructed on a dedicated EV platform and produced in &#8220;extremely large numbers.&#8221;
<h2>A Statement From Ford CEO Jim Farley Published in An Accompanying Announcement Provided More İnformation On The Impending Product</h2>
&#8220;PJ O&#8217;Rourke famously described American trucks as a &#8216;back porch with an engine attached,'&#8221; Farley stated in a press statement. &#8220;Now, this new vehicle will be like the Millenium Falcon—complete with a rear porch.&#8221;
In a teaser video, a possible future interior was briefly shown. It included an upgraded assisted-driving interface that appeared to completely stow away the steering wheel as well as an enhanced head-up display.
Naturally, the Tennessee-based company&#8217;s future truck will be speedy and quiet, but Farley also promised &#8220;exportable power, much more than today.&#8221; Moreover, he made a suggestion that software upgrades would not be a one-time event but rather something that would happen frequently.
<h2>BlueOval City is A Critical Construction For EV Production</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-33652 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h-1024x767.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="562" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h-300x225.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h-768x576.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h-1568x1175.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/blueoval-city-construction-march-2023_100879087_h.jpg 1708w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
In a subsequent speech from the site of the future facility, Farley said, &#8220;Your vehicle that was made here will literally be better and different every morning; it will learn how you use it. &#8220;To improve your vehicle, we&#8217;re going to send software to it every day, every week, and every year.&#8221;
That is completely consistent with what Farley stated in February. Then, he said that in order to fit more power into the smallest battery pack feasible, future Ford EVs would be &#8220;radically streamlined&#8221; with fewer body designs, fewer construction choices, and a reduction in weight and complexity.
The company stated that in order to scale up EV production and increase customer accessibility, BlueOval City is a critical part. Farley has stated that an EV price war might make the industry incredibly competitive; this may have already begun to happen in the market in recent months as seen by Tesla&#8217;s huge price drops and the subsequent price decreases for the Mach-E, for example.

Hyundai

Hyundai Motor has validated its intention to construct a new assembly plant but has declined to provide specifics about its location. &#8220;We are excited to announce a new EV plant plan in the United States soon, but we do not have details to share at this time,&#8221; Hyundai told in the statement.
According to Reuters, the new Georgia factory will produce both the Hyundai Ioniq 7 and the Kia EV9 — 7-passenger battery-electric SUVs specifically designed for American drivers. Each is essentially a battery-powered variant of the Hyundai Telluride and Kia Palisade, the company&#8217;s largest vehicles. The ultimate official statement is likely to come later in the month, once President Biden travels to South Korea.
Hyundai announced recently a $300 million investment to transform its Alabama production plant to produce the battery-electric Genesis GV 70 and a hybrid Santa Fe. The GV 70 will indeed be Hyundai&#8217;s first electric vehicle produced in the United States. Kia has stated that it will have 14 electric vehicles by 2027. Hyundai has stated that it will launch 17 vehicles by 2030, including six for its luxury Genesis brand.
<h2>Free Land, Grants, Tax Credits, And Workforce</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-10541 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="498" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-300x199.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9-768x510.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/kia-ev9.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
SK Innovation, a battery supplier to Hyundai and Kia, already operates two battery factories in Georgia. One of them manufactures batteries for Volkswagen and began production earlier this year. Another one will provide batteries to Ford, which is constructing a new EV manufacturing facility in Tennessee. According to Reuters, the Ioniq 7&#8217;s battery will be supplied by SK On, a division of SK Innovation.
The AJC says, “The incentive package that state officials would offer to land the Hyundai Motor expansion is not immediately clear, but it could rival the record-breaking $1.5 billion bounties of perks negotiated for Rivian, which includes free land, grants, tax credits, a workforce training center, and infrastructure improvements.”
Georgia is planning to commit public resources to two major automotive manufacturers — Rivian and Hyundai/Kia — in the hopes of creating thousands of manufacturing jobs, and transforming rural areas of the state.
The arrangement with Georgia and Hyundai Motor is still in the works. Governor Kemp is now being called into question by the ex-senator David Perdue. According to former House Speaker Tip O&#8217;Neill, &#8220;all politics is local.&#8221; Rural voters who want to keep their way of life may have the final say on whether a new Hyundai and Kia factory is built.

Kentucky Poised To Turn Out The Nation’s Leading Producer Of Electric Vehicle Batteries

Volkswagen

Systematic electrification of the product line is highlighted in the Volkswagen Group&#8216;s investment program for the years 2022 to 2026, which was revealed in December. In comparison to earlier planning, these plans call for a 50 percent increase in capital outlay and progress costs for e-mobility, totaling €52 billion.
Spectacularly, VW is investing heavily on electric vehicles, investing more than $7 billion in North America within the next five years to &#8220;boost its product assortment, regional R&amp;D, and production capabilities,&#8221; according to the group.
The worthwhile news is that Volkswagen is becoming electric-only in America, and gasoline-powered vehicles will be phased out of the range. This will not happen immediately, but the business &#8220;plans to leave [ICE] sales at the start of the next couple of ten years.&#8221; This, predictably, necessitates a variety of new EVs, some of which will be manufactured in the United States.
<a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-4-pro-s-awd/">The ID.4</a> will be built at the company&#8217;s Chattanooga, Tennessee plant in the second quarter of 2022, as previously reported. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volkswagen-id-buzz/">The ID. Buzz</a> will then be built in America having started in 2024, with &#8220;new electric SUVs&#8221; following in 2026. Through 2030, VW Group brands will launch well over 25 new electric vehicles to American consumers.
Volkswagen is also concentrating on American customers, with the target of &#8220;localizing all primary design and engineering responsibility for the products destined for the domestic markets by 2030.&#8221; This &#8220;strategy emphasizes the firm&#8217;s focus on American consumer demands, while growing Volkswagen Group&#8217;s global automobile&#8221; according to the company. In effect, it appears that future models will be built on a worldwide design but will have unique interior and exterior aesthetics to appeal to Americans.

Volkswagen to Launch An Electric-Only Crossover in US by 2026

Volvo Cars and Ford Motor Company have announced that they are coming together through a startup to initiate a first-of-its-kind electric vehicle battery recycling program in California.
In a press release, the e-waste startup, Redwood Materials, has stated that the two companies will collaborate to create safe, efficient, and effective recovery approaches for the dead battery packs of hybrid and electric vehicles. First supported by Volvo and Ford, this battery recycling program will accept all lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries in California.
Redwood Materials recycles lithium-ion batteries, phones, laptops’ power tools, and other e-waste. In September, Ford and the Nevada-based startup agreed on determining the pathways to recycle batteries of Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
Redwood Materials will invest more than $30 million in electrification by 2025. As a part of this plan, Ford had invested $50 million in Redwood to help the startup’s production line while the relationship between Volvo and Redwood is recently established.
<h2>Redwood Recycling since 2017</h2>

Redwood was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, who co-founded <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-s-plaid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a>, where he served as CTO and then in an advisory role through 2019.
The main objective of the Nevada-based startup is to create a circular supply chain by scrapping and processing discarded batteries and extracting materials like cobalt, nickel, and lithium that are typically mined, and then supplying those back to Panasonic and other customers, including Amazon, Ford, and AESC Envision in Tennessee. On average, Redwood claims that its technology can salvage more than 95% of elements like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper.
Redwood is advancing its recycling operations to collect used battery packs of electric vehicles. Ford and Volvo decided to choose California for the joint recycling program with Redwood since it has been a steady leader in the electrification of transportation and houses.
Jim Farley, CEO of Ford Motor Company, described the Redwood team as “world-class technology and know-how”. He also stated: &#8220;This new program with Redwood Materials will help Ford lead America&#8217;s transition to sustainable and carbon-neutral EV manufacturing and ultimately help make electric vehicles more environmentally responsible and affordable for our customers.&#8221;
