Detroit (AP) - In order for the auto industry to be successful, that electric cars will soon dominate the road, we have to overcome the main reasons why many still avoid electric cars. Point B Automakers have tried to address these concerns by developing electric vehicles that go further and fill up faster on a single charge. The problem is, most public charging stations are now taking too long to charge their cars, and it takes hours instead of minutes to get enough power for long journeys. Concerned that such long waits may discourage potential electric vehicle buyers and stick with gasoline vehicles, automakers have reduced charging times from 5 minutes to almost 10 minutes with conventional gasoline. I'm trying to shorten it. Brett Smith, technology director of the Automobile Research Institute, an industry think tank, said, “It hasn't happened yet, but it's one of the factors driving the needle into a competitive car for many, and it enables fast recharge. ” Mo...

The largest contract foundry in the world is the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC for short. The company takes chip designs created by companies like Apple (its biggest customer), Qualcomm, MediaTek, and others, and turns them into components for use in products like smartphones, tablets, and other devices. Last year TSMC began shipping chips made with the smallest mass produced process node, 5nm. The 3-nm process node from TSMC is said to deliver up to 15% more power or save up to 30% of power consumption The process node is determined by the number of transistors that fit in one square millimeter (known as transistor density). The higher the number, the lower the process node and the more powerful and energy-efficient a chip is. Last month, IBM announced that it would be the first company in the world to produce a 2-nm chip, although it is several years away from making the technology available. TSMC s...

I've known Jeff Nicholson for almost 20 years. He is one of my oldest and dearest friends in the industry and not just a friend, but a visionary. He is currently the global leader in CRM at Pegasystems, and of course he's doing a great job. There is no shock. But he maintains this visionary picture of the developing world. I've done several events with him at various live and virtual events that Pega sponsors - mostly variations of PegaWorld - and it's a real pleasure to work with him on stage. Although I know him so well, he surprises me every year. For example, last year I found out that Jeff is a great singer. He sang as one of the leads for Pega's band Layer Cakes, which won the global and fierce CRM Playaz Bring Your Own Band (BYOB) 2020 competition. Here are Jeff's vocals (see "Shut Up and Dance with Me"). He also builds cars. That's a story for another day. But for industry purposes he remains the visionary I've known for 20 yea...

Just weeks after the Colonial Pipeline - which provides 45% of the East Coast's diesel, gasoline, and kerosene supplies - went offline following a ransomware attack - the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority announced that it was also being targeted became a cyber attack. The news also came when JBS Foods, the world's largest meat producer, was also the victim of a Russia-based hacking group. The White House urged private companies to take "immediate action" to strengthen their ransomware defenses. "Ransomware attacks have disrupted organizations around the world, from hospitals in Ireland, Germany and France to pipelines in the US and banks in the UK," Anne Neuberger, assistant national security advisor for cyber and new technologies, wrote in a memo to company and business leaders at the beginning of the week. “The threats are serious and increasing. We urge you to take these critical steps to protect your organizations and the American public...

Bloomberg news | The Detroit News Since last July, a little-known automaker in southwest China has been dominating the world's largest electric car market, selling a tiny, bare electric vehicle starting at $ 4,500 to major vendors and even Tesla Inc. almost every month. The Hong Guang Mini is the brainchild of SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., a joint venture between SAIC Motor Corp. and Guangxi Automobile Group Co., two state-sponsored automakers, and U.S. giant General Motors Co. The company, based in the city of Liuzhou, known for its limestone mountains and river snail soup, sold around 270,000 of the cars in nine months, making it the best-selling electric vehicle in China - and has even greater ambitions for the future. The company is targeting annual sales of 1.2 million vehicles over the next year, almost the number of electric vehicles China's automakers will produce together in 2020. It's an eyebrow-raising destination, but even before the Hong Guang Mini, Wuli...

In the early 20th century it was automobiles. There was a manic quality to investing in this transformative new technology. For good reason. In a figurative sense, cars would wonderfully reduce the size of the world and at the same time massively increase the standard of living far beyond motorized traffic. And, as always, cars began as a luxury for rich men. They were rarer than millionaires, and millionaires were incredibly rare. All of this speaks for the genius of capitalism. Wealth is mostly a result of individuals doing together what used to be scarce and coveted. Thanks to Henry Ford, the car that awe so many people soon became an everyday consumer good. Crucially, there were thousands of would-be Henry Fords. When we think of American cars today, we often think of Chrysler, Ford, and GM, and much less the thousands of automakers that sprang up at about the same time but didn't survive. Yes, there was a car bust in the 20th century, and it was inevitable. Politi...

Car prices are likely to remain "fairly stable" in the short term, as the second wave of COVID-19 has more or less balanced the demand-supply situation in the past two months, according to a senior official at Volkswagen Passenger Cars India. Automakers saw declining sales in May and reversed the recovery path in the first three months of 2021, fueled by a backlog. Various states and authorities resorted to restrictions and lockdowns in April and May to contain the rising infections during the second wave of COVID-19. With the COVID-19 situation improving and easing, overall demand in the economy is expected to pick up in the coming weeks. With this in mind, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director of Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said demand is expected to pick up again from June due to the easing of restrictions, increasing vaccinations and a normal monsoons. In an email interaction, he said that demand in the first quarter of this calendar year actually exceeded supply, w...

As the global economy recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, the United States and other nations are rapidly moving on to efforts to increase competitiveness. Nowhere will this be more important than in technology. It is encouraging to see President Joe Biden focusing his early economic agenda on taking concrete steps to help the US invest in research and development in key areas of technology. The greatest threat to US intellectual competitiveness is China, and that is what we should focus on. The Chinese government has set itself long-term goals to increase its self-sufficiency in key technologies and is making substantial public funds available for this. This puts US companies at a severe disadvantage. In his joint address to Congress in April, President Biden announced that the United States is in competition with China and other countries for victory in the 21st century. But it has also sent some worrying signals that we are already behind. Most importantly, the president said...

Originally published on EVANNEX. by Charles Morris There is a close connection between electric vehicles and renewable energy, and that connection - both literally and symbolically - runs right through the power grid. Intermittent energy sources like sun and wind need on-grid storage to be profitable, and the most flexible and scalable type of storage is a battery, which happens to be the core technology behind electric vehicles. Thus, advances in battery technology and the expansion of battery manufacturing have applications for two very different industries. Tesla understood this early in the game - in 2015 it launched Tesla Energy, a division that offers stationary storage batteries for residential (Powerwall), commercial (Powerpack) and large-scale (Megapack) applications. Elon Musk has repeatedly said that Tesla Energy could one day grow bigger than Tesla's auto business. That hasn't happened yet, but Tesla's energy business is growing rapidly. In its fourth qua...

In order to develop the electric vehicle industry, charging stations, batteries and reasonable prices are needed. However, in Vietnam there is still no comprehensive policy for these issues, particularly for the disposal and treatment of battery waste. Electric cars are cleaner than cars with internal combustion engines (fueled with gasoline and oil). This is seen as a global solution to the problems of air pollution and climate change. But are they as clean as people imagine? The answer is no '. “Electric vehicles themselves, when manufactured on a large scale, will also cause many environmental problems, such as: B. the battery manufacture and battery discharge process; rechargeable electricity from fossil energy sources (thermal energy) or new energy, renewable energy (solar energy, wind energy), ”said Nguyen Trung Hieu, Head of the Policy Subcommittee of the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association (VAMA). The development of electric vehicles will greatly increas...
