Rapid growth in the installation of batteries is upending power systems across the United States, with battery-deployed electricity volumes scaling new records nearly every month. Steady cost declines combined with rising energy density levels are driving utilities to ramp up battery installations, and battery storage output now often exceeds all
Nordic Semiconductor announces the acquisition of its long-term partner, Memfault Inc., the market-leading cloud platform provider for large-scale deployments of connected products. This marks a major leap in Nordic’s evolution – from a hardware supplier to a complete solution partner. Memfault and Nordic leaders shake hands. Nordic now provides a
EV and renewable investments in the US are stalling – and May was another tough month. Businesses canceled $1.4 billion worth of clean energy factories and projects last month, according to the latest numbers from E2 and the Clean Economy Tracker. That pushes total canceled investments to $15.5 billion this year, wiping out nearly
Danisense has launched the DSSIU-1-V, a compact single-channel power supply and interface unit designed for use with its high-precision flux gate direct current current transducers (DCCTs). Targeted at EV test benches, power analysis systems and current calibration setups, the unit simplifies signal readout and system integration for high-accuracy current measurements.
A new global survey of engineering leaders finds that although most anticipate productivity improvements from AI in design and simulation workflows, only 3% currently report significant gains—indicating a gap between expectations and current outcomes. The State of Engineering AI 2025 report, published today by SimScale in partnership with Global Surveyz,
The Senate version of the repubilcans’ tax bill won’t just add trillions of dollars to the deficit through a massive giveaway to wealthy elites, it will also take the US Postal Service’s awesome new EVs and sell them off for pennies on the dollar, wasting money simply out of spite
Heavy-duty EV charging provider WattEV has broken ground on its sixth heavy-duty electric truck charging depot in California, located at the Port of Oakland. The company currently operates five truck charging depots in California, and has another 15 sites under development. The addition of the new charging depot will establish
BOXX Technologies announced the launch of Creativ PCs, a new line of Creator PCs designed to support demanding creative workflows.

Today’s Green Deals are jam-packed with power station savings, led by Jackery’s early Prime Day Sale that is taking up to 65% off power stations with some extra ways to save too. Among the lineup, we spotted the brand’s Explorer 2000 Plus Solar Generator Bundle with two 200W panels down
Construction equipment manufacturer Develon, previously known as Doosan Construction Equipment, has launched a new range of electric excavators. The first electric excavator—which carries the designation DX160WE-7—is a wheeled excavator. The DX160WE-7 and two crawler excavators based on the DX225LC-7 platform will be available with various battery configurations, including an extended
Nearly 60 hours into the launch of the Tesla Robotaxi platform, it appears we have our first true intervention that required the in-car safety monitor to intervene. We’ve seen and heard about a handful of minor issues with the Robotaxi fleet thus far, one of which included a risky, but
Purdue University has sponsored this post. Image: Purdue. Technology has been advancing rapidly for the last few decades, and especially over the last five to ten years. In particular, the integrated systems that are enabled by technology are evolving at warp-speed, with increasing material, project and integration complexity. In order
Solid-state battery developer QuantumScape shared another exciting milestone today: integrating its long-developed “Cobra” solid-state separator manufacturing process into its baseline production. This step technology significantly reduces the overall footprint and production time of QuantumScape’s proprietary solid-state cells, setting the stage for commercialized production. more…
Legacy automakers know that EVs are the future—but as public companies, the only future they can plan for is next quarter’s earnings report. As the current US administration slashes support for new technologies, automakers have been mostly silent, and some have quietly scaled back previously-announced electrification plans. So, it’s refreshing
Tesla launched its Robotaxi platform in a limited capacity earlier this week in Austin, Texas, and after hundreds of rides have been taken, some instances have caught the attention of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, the information the NHTSA is requesting is routine and totally normal for
Welcome to Engineering Paper. Here’s the latest design and simulation software news. Tech Soft 3D and Nvidia announced a new collaboration to further the mission of OpenUSD, the Pixar-created 3D file framework underpinning Nvidia’s Omniverse platform. For starters, Tech Soft 3D has officially joined the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD). It
ONYX Motors has just announced the second version of its storied RCR electric moped launched since the brand’s revival late last year. The new ONYX RCR 80V pushes the bike to its highest performance yet, breaking new power and speed records for the company while simultaneously raising questions about how
comemso has announced SmartCal, a fully automated calibration system for its Battery Cell Simulator (BCS), targeting developers and testers of battery management systems (BMS) in electric vehicle and high-voltage test environments. The SmartCal system enables on-site or in-lab calibration and adjustment of BCS units, designed to maintain long-term measurement accuracy
