Self-Heating Batteries
Inventor/Assignee: William E. Diefenderfer, Chao-Yang Wang and team
The self-heating battery uses a thin nickel foil with one end attached to the negative terminal and the other extending outside the cell to create a third terminal.
Roadside Street Cabinets
Inventor/Assignee: Calvey Kenneth Taylor-Haw, Brandon Haw, Gregory Carlyon Simmons | Current Assignee: Elektromotive Ltd.
Roadside street cabinets could play a significant role in the EV revolution because they are fixtures in almost any community with an internet connection. The technology optimizes operating costs by ensuring maximum availability of charging services.
Heat Pump System
Inventor/Assignee: Hasan Ayarturk, Utku Karakaya, Husnu Arda Odabasioglu | Current Assignee: Tofas Turk Otomobil Fabrikasi AS
In an electric vehicle, reversible heat pumps can be used to both warm the battery and cool it. When cooling it, the excess heat from the battery can be sent to the cabin heater.
Regenerative Braking System
Inventor/Assignee: Peter S. Hughes | Current Assignee: GP Technology and Innovation Ltd
Regenerative braking is a unique technique that is used in electric vehicles to capture energy that the vehicle has due to its motion
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain).
Low Rolling Resistance Tyres
Inventor/Assignee: Yuuichiroh Ozaki, Hirofumi Hayashi | Assignee- Toyo Tire Corp
Low rolling resistance is important to ensure that the tyre does not wear out due to the high torque that occurs due to the inertia. Less friction also entails much better efficiency and longer tyre life.
The Keyless Ignition System is a modern ignition system that utilizes electronic authentication for entering or starting the car
Lamppost electric vehicle charging solution comprise hardware and electrical integrations to create physical charge points for on-street lamppost integration.
Hydrogen fuel cells use hydrogen as a fuel in an electrochemical process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical energy and water.
