Known Elon Musk critic Mark Cuban is ready to sell his Tesla because of a simple feature that is one of the more polarizing amongst community members. Cuban and Musk have gone head-to-head in several back-and-forths on X, Musk’s social media platform, formerly Twitter. However, it is not the public

LION Smart has been commissioned to study the feasibility of a fast-charging battery system for electric trucks. The goal is to produce a battery system that can power a range of up to 450km within 15 minutes – with a charging capacity of up to 3 megawatts. The feasibility study

As a regular contributor here at CleanTechnica, I’m always on the lookout for the next big thing in sustainable living, electric vehicles, and innovative gear that helps us tread lighter on our planet. This summer, I’m taking that search to the open road in a big way — quite literally.

With active cell balancing, energy is evenly distributed among the cells rather than being converted into heat. It also allocates higher current levels as the energy is redistributed efficiently. This article will aim to present the benefits of active cell balancing and technical approaches that will help you introduce it
