The e mobility movement is happening right now and it’s growing at an amazing rate. The move away from ICE (internal combustion engines) to electric-powered vehicles is gathering pace and already has solid foundations to move forward from. Here we... read more >

A brief introduction to e mobility Before we explore e mobility trends, it is perhaps useful to define what e mobility is: As taken from our definition article – “E mobility (is an abbreviation of electromobility) and is a general term used... read more >

Many myths exist surrounding the field of e mobility. Here we aim to counter-argue eight of the most common myths by providing explanations as to why the assumption is just a myth and more importantly why it shouldn’t be... read more >

Choosing which make and model of vehicle is a challenge on its own. In recent years though owners have been given a new dilemma, due to technology breakthroughs a range of alternatively powered vehicles are now viable. Here we discuss the new... read more >

We all know that e mobility is the future, but what facts and statistics are there to back this thought? We have put this article together to explore this topic a little... read more >

It’s easy enough to assume that e-vehicles are environmentally-friendly, but that assumption is often just comparing the benefits of an e-vehicle to an ICE (internal combustion engine) powered vehicle when running. For a fairer comparison, we... read more >

Electric vehicles have existed as a technology since the 1830s, but lost ground to internal combustion engine (ICE) models over a century ago. The technology in the 19th century (mainly heavy lead battery cells and sulphuric acid) wouldn’t scale... read more >

The issues of sustainability in the automotive industry have become increasingly important in recent years, with growing scrutiny being heaped upon manufacturers and consumers alike, especially following the VW emissions scandal and the attention... read more >

As a global climate crisis looms, efforts to improve the eco-friendliness and sustainability of all human activities intensify. The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) reflects a widening public awareness that reducing fossil fuel use is a... read more >

If you are new to the world of e-mobility, or simply a seasoned pro in need of a little refresher on a key term or two, our straightforward glossary should give you all the definitions you... read more >

E-mobility is a major trend in automotive and many other industries. Lasers are already very actively involved in vehicle and parts production and this trend will continue with the switch from Internal combustion engine (ICE) models to electric... read more >

E-mobility will continue to rise in terms of adoption, causing a number of challenges to electric vehicle manufacturers in many areas of operation. There is not only the scale of production required, but there are also the precision manufacturing... read more >

Differentials are an important component, which every electric car will need. Automotive manufacturers are ramping up their capability and one important requirement is the mass production of differentials for the burgeoning electric vehicles market.... read more >

Fiber lasers are already playing an important role in the breakthrough of e-mobility and will continue to do so into the future. Fiber lasers are in demand for their precision, speed, ease and diversity of use – amongst other qualities.... read more >

SPI Lasers definition for e-mobility e-mobility is an abbreviation of electromobility and is a general term used to describe the principles and concepts of utilising electric powered technologies (e.g. drivetrains). E-mobility moves away from... read more >

From many perspectives, e-mobility is an excellent initiative for the automotive industry, but none perhaps more so than for environmental reasons. The industry has long been unpopular with the general public for its fossil fuel usage and there has... read more >

Ask anybody the question: “What are the benefits of e-mobility?” and it’s likely that the majority of people would mention environmental benefits and it’s happening for green-friendly reasons. Whilst, this is certainly true, there are many... read more >

The automotive industry is facing rapid change with the switch from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (in the form of all-electric, hybrid (HEV and PHEV) and hydrogen fuel cell models). This rapid change is bringing... read more >

The world is embracing a fundamental shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Although electric vehicle technology has existed for some time, it will need to evolve to embrace the mass... read more >

Following an increase in oil prices in 2008 and pressures on governments for a “greener planet”, significant investment has been applied in recent years to move to electronic vehicles. The electric car market is already surging in popularity.... read more >

Over the last 100 years we have all become used to an internal combustion engine (ICE) dominated world. Just as internal combustion engine vehicles need a network of filling sessions so will electric vehicles need a network of charging points. This... read more >

What is the need for hairpins? Many electric vehicle manufacturers are moving to copper hairpin technology in place of copper winding in the production of vehicle stators. The hairpin is inserted into the stator and the hairpin/stator are welded... read more >

E-mobility is continually in the headlines and represents one of the great predicted megatrends for the next decade. The rationale is clear - the world needs to break its dependency on fossil fuels and electric vehicles offer the obvious solution.... read more >

The boom in e-mobility is generating an increased demand for electric motors across the world. These motors are manufactured with solid copper hairpins in the stator which generate a magnetic field, which in turn creates the motion of the motor.... read more >

The manufacture of Lithium-ion batteries is a highly technical process in which cathodes and anodes are manufactured from thin metallic foils that are coated with active materials. Cathode materials are typically thin aluminum foil in the... read more >

Lithium ion batteries can be found everywhere from phones and laptops to electric cars. The automotive industry is set to increase it’s demand for these batteries drastically in years to come. This means the manufacturing process will need to... read more >

These foils are typically made of aluminium or copper with coated are bare areas on both sides. This can be challenging to process as edge quality must be consistent across all areas of the workpiece. Fiber lasers are ideal to use to cut foils,... read more >

The first battery was invented many, many years ago, finding its history dating back to 1800, when Italian physicist Alessandro Volta created the first modern day battery. Since that period the battery saw slow growth, simply because there wasn’t... read more >

We all know how important it is to be eco-friendly, which is why more of us are taking action and opting for electric vehicles. This is a paradigm shift away from fossil-fuelled cars, an initiative, which is often called e-mobility. These vehicles... read more >
