Electric Vehicle/ Hybrid Electric Vehicle Blog

In a typical household, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) costs are among the biggest contributors to monthly electricity bills. Residential and industrial HVAC systems require significant power to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, operating almost continuously year-round.

The same principles apply to EV HVAC system design. While an EV’s cabin is much smaller than a home, maintaining a comfortable temperature — especially in extreme climates — still demands substantial energy. Any loss of heated or cooled air forces the system to work harder, increasing energy consumption.

When a severe winter storm paralyzed I-95 in Virginia, stranding countless drivers for hours, a critical question arose: 

What would have happened if these vehicles were electric? 

Given that electric vehicle (EV) batteries are known to be sensitive to extreme temperatures, concerns about their performance in cold weather are understandable.

No owner wants to see a small puddle of mysterious fluid under their vehicle. While electric vehicles (EVs) rely on electrons instead of petrol or diesel and require less maintenance than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts, it's easy to become complacent about regular checks.

For nearly three years, the global supply chain for practically anything has left a lot to be desired. 

The heart of an electric vehicle (EV) is its battery pack, and the module cell connection system is the infrastructure that connects the individual cells to the high-voltage output of the pack.

Consider the sound system that’s in your electric vehicle’s design. 

A necessity for many drivers and passengers, the system represents what we see with many other elements of the EV. There's a good chance the radio was made by one manufacturer while the speakers were by another. The software that controls the radio – that was probably done by another company, too. 

In the history of automotive manufacturing, complete in-house construction of vehicles has been a rarity – especially at the mass-production level. 

Put simply, it’s near impossible to build a vehicle – even electric –  without incorporating parts from external sources into their builds. 

In any manufacturing operation, what often derails production schedules?

Ask any driver what’s the most important feature of their car or truck, and most will likely say the ability to safely get from point A to point B. That is, after all, the primary function of a vehicle. 

The days of smog-filled skylines, visible miles away from major metropolitan areas, are numbered. 

The upcoming influx of electric vehicles (EV) on roads across the globe will be a boon for the natural environment and its air quality. It’s simple math: Exhaust emissions from automobiles decrease as the number of EVs increases.
