Fellten Charge Qube


Peter Donaldson investigates a containerised system that can charge multiple vehicles and doesn’t need a grid connection.
Until the electric power grid is able to support fast charging for EVs everywhere, there is likely to always be a market for something like Fellten’s Charge Qube – a containerised system that stores energy in repurposed battery packs and can charge multiple vehicles simultaneously, with or without a connection to the grid.

HIL Testing


Nick Flaherty traces the line where digital models of components meet simulation to experience a vehicle before it is even built
Virtual design methodologies are increasingly being adopted in the development of e-mobility platforms – combining digital models of components with simulation to create a digital twin of an entire vehicle that can be driven before it has even been built. Read more…

Battery leak testing


Peter Donaldson delves into the world of battery leak testing.
With the exception of old, British motorbike engines – it was said that if they’re not leaking, there’s no oil in them – leaks from anything are usually a sign of a problem.
The escape of liquids such as coolant and electrolyte are undesirable, and the emission of gases can be the first warning sign of a thermal runaway. Read more…

AI and battery management systems

alt=’E-Mobility Engineering’>
AI is with us and it’s being incorporated into battery management systems (BMS), but its implementation faces challenges, writes Peter Donaldson.
Machine learning (ML) is applied to improve the accuracy of state estimation, with neural networks and support vector machines analysing historical data, and driving patterns and environmental conditions to estimate, predict and optimise battery states of charge, health and power. Read more…
