The new bZ4X range is to grow with the introduction of two battery options. The mid-size SUV will now be offered with a choice of a 57.7 kWh or 73.1 kWh battery (gross capacity), so that customers can select a version that best suits their driving requirements and their budget.

A 57.7 kWh (gross capacity) unit will be exclusive to the front-wheel drive model and a higher capacity 77 kWh battery will be available for both front and all-wheel drive powertrains. This breadth of choice will help Toyota reach a wide customer base within the C-SUV market.

The RZ’s battery electric system has undergone complete revision, with a focus on raising the quality of both practicality and driving pleasure. Key changes include the introduction of a new eAxle with improved motor output and inverter efficiency and a significant reduction in losses. There is also a new lithium-ion battery with capacity increased to 77.0 kWh.

With an energy density of 315 Wh/kg, the 6.3Ah SiCore™ cell builds on Amprius’ proven technology, delivering over 25% more capacity than a standard 5.0Ah 21700 cell while maintaining a high-power 3C discharge rate. It achieves 800 cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DOD), extending battery lifespan and lowering replacement costs. Designed for seamless integration, its drop-in compatibility allows manufacturers to boost performance without the need for costly system redesigns.

As the first electric manned airship in China, AS700D has been fully upgraded for electrification based on traditional fuel airships. EVE Energy’s lithium-ion battery system supports discharging at a maximum of 8C pulse and continuous output at a 3C rate, meeting the instantaneous power requirements of the airship under complex working conditions. At the same time, it adopts a double-layer module structure and a dual-pack parallel redundancy design to ensure safe operation even if a single pack fails.

The concept vehicle reaches a top speed of 130 km/h and is powered by a newly developed electric drive motor with 70 kW (95 PS). The range is at least 250 kilometres. With a length of 3,880 mm, the ID. EVERY1 is positioned between the former up! (3,600 mm), the ID. 2all (4,050 mm) and the current Polo (4,074 mm). Inside, it offers space for four people and a luggage compartment volume of 305 litres.

On February 24, local time, construction commenced on CALB’s Portugal facility, which will be a zero-carbon AI gigafactory with delivery expected in 2027. Liu Jingyu, Chairman of CALB, and Pedro Reis, the Portuguese Minister of Economy, jointly inaugurated this significant milestone, with guests from diverse sectors in attendance, including shareholders, customers, supply chain partners, financial institutions, and expert scholars.

Built on Kia’s dedicated 400V Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), both Kia EV4 variants benefit from a choice of standard (58.3 kWh) or long-range (81.4 kWh) battery configurations. These supply a front-mounted 150 kW motor delivering 0-100 km/h performance of 7.4 and 7.7 seconds respectively, and a top speed of 170 km/h for both variants.

The benefits of an 800-volt electric system are numerous: your battery gets charged faster, your electric car gets an improved overall performance, and the electric system is more efficient compared to a 400-volt system.

Earlier this month, the company signed a KRW 291.4 billion long-term supply contract with a global battery customer for prismatic lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery separators.

In the third zone, Battery Roadmap, visitors can explore SK On’s diversified battery portfolio. The display includes pouch, prismatic, and cylindrical cells, including high-voltage mid-nickel battery and long-life LFP battery. In the fourth zone, Battery Safety, visitors can explore the next-generation wireless BMS and immersion cooling technology showcased through a model of a vehicle’s underneath. The upgraded “S-Pack+” with SK On’s Cell-to-Pack(CTP) technology will also be on display.

London Ambulance Service’s strategy of adopting electric vehicles in front-line roles is part of its Carbon Neutral Plan, which targets net zero direct emissions by 2040. The Service also says its Ford E-Transit electric ambulances have delivered a fuel cost saving of almost 75 per cent when compared with diesel-powered equivalents.
