The accident took place in Jiangxi Province's Ganzhou City in east China on June 4. ] Electric vehicles use highly inflammable Lithium-ion batteries, which can catch fire and go into flames within seconds With the world moving towards electric mobility, we will soon see roads filled with electric vehicles. While the future of electric mobility is still a few years away in India, the Chinese market is filled with electric vehicles and the consumers have accepted the vehicles quite well. There are many kinds of electric vehicle on sale in the Chinese market including the locally-made ones. (Above) is a video of a locally assembled electric two-wheeler in China that catches fire within seconds and was reduced to ashes. Electric vehicles use complicated charging modules and have big batteries that power the electric motor. Most of the modern-day electric vehicles get the highly efficient lithium-ion batteries, which are known for their excellent capacity and charge hold time. However, the lithium-ion batteries can be extremely dangerous. As seen in the video, the scooter catches fire in the middle of the road and within seconds the whole vehicle is engulfed in the fire. Lithium-ion batteries can get affected in many various ways. It can be because of a short-circuit or a punctured battery pack. The fire can spread uncontrollably. To ensure that the batteries remain safe and avoid any such incident, manufacturers often install safety device that can cut off the power supply to the battery during a short circuit. Many manufacturers also place them in secured enclosures to avoid any punctures, especially during high-speed accidents. It is not only about low-cost electric vehicles being vulnerable to such accidents. Many Tesla vehicles have also caught fire after accidents due to the lithium-ion batteries. While the electric future looks unavoidable now, manufacturers should be working towards the vehicles safer. Electric vehicles can explode during accidents and that reduces any chance of survival. The shocking incident in China also shows police officers carrying fire extinguishers and dousing the out-of-control fire. Even with the extinguisher, it takes some time to bring the fire under control. There is no doubt that electric vehicles are the future but will be safer than the regular vehicles in the market? That’s a big question that remains unanswered for the time being.

[EVDL] EVLN: Gigafactory3.cn e-drone flyover> A View to a Construction (v)
https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-gigafactory-3-construction-drone-flyover/ Tesla Gigafactory 3 in China shows first completed building in latest drone video February 5, 2019 Simon Alvarez [image https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/tesla-gigafactory-3-2-1.jpg video https://youtu.be/1Kr52-huOIA Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory February 05th 2019. ? via 42HOW Gigafactory 3’s most recent drone flyover ] The construction of Tesla’s Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai is starting to see some serious progress. As could be seen in a drone flyover of the site during the Chinese New Year, most of Tesla’s 864,885-square meter plot of land appears to be ready for construction. An initial building that appears to be a temporary structure has also been completed, and a separate area of the site has been overlaid with concrete as well. The recent drone video was posted on Chinese social media by the 42HOW group and shared on YouTube by Tesla owner-enthusiast Vincent Yu. Over the course of the nearly two-minute clip, several angles of Gigafactory 3’s land were emphasized, particularly the first building on the site, which is already equipped with several air conditioning units. Since the facility’s groundbreaking ceremony last month, work on Gigafactory 3 has proceeded at a rapid pace. Barely a week after the ceremony, for one, images from the Tesla community emerged depicting numerous trucks and heavy equipment moving dirt from the site. In the recent drone flyover, work on the land appears to have been paused, though this might very well be due to one of China’s most important holidays — the Chinese New Year. With this in mind, it would not be surprising if later drone flyovers of the site would show renewed activity once more. Tesla is following an incredibly aggressive timeframe for Gigafactory 3. Elon Musk noted that the facility’s initial construction is expected to be completed this summer. The production of electric cars — the first of which would be an affordable variant of the Model 3 that would be sold on the Chinese market — is expected to begin by the end of 2019. This timeline was addressed by Elon Musk during the fourth quarter earnings call, when he noted that the buildout of Gigafactory 3 would be “extremely fast.” “So it basically would be — this will be extremely fast. I get like daily updates of progress of the Shanghai Gigafactory, and those factories are going to go up like lightning. So, we do feel quite confident at this point, at least for the factories that are in our control, that we can achieve volume production in Shanghai by the end of the year. And that should allow us to get to the 10,000 vehicles a week rate or very close to it by the end of the year,” Musk said. While undoubtedly ambitious, Tesla’s timeframe for Gigafactory 3 is actually quite feasible, especially considering that the company enjoys the support of the Chinese government. Part of this support became evident in the initiatives being placed to help Tesla acquire loans from local banks, as well as the involvement of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of China Construction, which is owned by the government.

[EVDL] EVLN: HMC Tomo(friend) e-ute> student-designed curvaceous-concept (v)
https://www.autoblog.com/2019/02/12/honda-tomo-geneva/ Honda's mini electric ute concept would make a great daily companion Feb 12th 2019 Tony Markovich [images https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-02/0550e6c0-2ee4-11e9-aded-d3a517fcae75 https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2019-02/068eef90-2ee5-11e9-bff1-38e962d1c2dbHonda TOMO Concept by IED video flash ] Named Tomo, it will debut next to the updated Urban EV prototype Honda is set to make a major splash at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show by debuting the newest iteration of its due-for-production fully electric prototype, but it turns out that won't be the only EV on the stand. In partnership with the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Turin, Italy, Honda will debut a brand-new design concept, the miniature Honda Tomo EV ute. Honda and IED have a long history, as this will be the 15th 1:1 design model the two have produced. The stylish concepts are the thesis projects for the two-year master's program at the university's transportation design school. For this exercise, Honda sent 13 students a simple, if roughly translated, brief: "Honda next 2025 fun driving." The result is a bite-sized, curvaceous electric coupe with a tiny rear truck bed. Tomo, which means "friend" in Japanese, is meant to portray how young people see "driving pleasure," and "is able to combine the needs of leisure time outside the city with business demands of the city." At 13.1 feet long, 6.2 feet wide, and 5.1 feet tall, it's slightly bigger than a Mazda Miata. The two-door coupe resembles both of Honda's most recent EV concepts, the Urban EV and the Sports EV. The body's bar-soap smoothness, the white and black contrasting exterior, the circular lighting patterns, and even the black hood scoop detail all make this a perfect fit for Honda's blossoming family of electrics. The talented student designers who worked on the project are Ricardo Alejandro Campos Ortega, Rudraksh Banerjie, Tanmay Madhukar Chavan, Michele Corneliani, Shobhanjit Das, Alexander Marcel Fröse, Xiaole Ge, Ramón Emmanuel Hernández Cortés, Tianchen Huang, Sameer Aminullah Khan, Saketh Nalla, Jay Shrikant Nibandhe and Yu-Jie Wang. Campos Ortega's design won out for the exterior, while Banerjie's design was implemented for the interior. As of now, this is just a design exercise, but its similarity to Honda's real concepts give us hope that it might one day influence a real production car. We think it'd be pretty amazing to have a modern-day take on the Subaru Mighty Boy.

[EVDL] EVLN: (vw-pr) Small MEB VW EV> there’s nothing radical here
https://www.automobilemag.com/news/vw-ev-platform-meb-details-electric-vehicles/ First Look: Every Upcoming Small VW Electric Vehicle February 11, 2019 Aaron Gold [images https://st.automobilemag.com/uploads/sites/11/2019/02/Volkswagen-MEB-04.jpg meb https://st.automobilemag.com/uploads/sites/11/2019/02/Volkswagen-MEB-05.jpg?interpolation=lanczos-none&fit=around%7C660%3A440&fit=around%7C765%3A510 https://st.automobilemag.com/uploads/sites/11/2019/02/Volkswagen-MEB-02.jpg?interpolation=lanczos-none&fit=around%7C660%3A440&fit=around%7C765%3A510 https://st.automobilemag.com/uploads/sites/11/2019/02/Volkswagen-MEB-06.jpg?interpolation=lanczos-none&fit=around%7C660%3A440&fit=around%7C765%3A510 ] Without body panels or a real interior, anyway. Volkswagen gave us our first look at an undisguised prototype of its future electric cars—sort of. This is the MEB (Modular Elektrobaukasten) platform which will underpin the VW Group’s future compact and subcompact battery-powered EVs, including the production versions of the Volkswagen-brand concepts we’ve seen so far: I.D., I.D. Crozz, I.D. Vizzion, and I.D. Buzz. For those familiar with modern battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), there’s nothing radical here: The battery pack is under the floor, the mechanical bits are ahead of the firewall, and the control hardware is spread throughout the chassis. With no need to support an internal-combustion powertrain, the MEB platform features short overhangs, no driveline/exhaust tunnel, and a low cargo-area floor. During the presentation, Volkswagen touted the benefits of a dedicated EV architecture versus making a BEV out of the MQB platform that underpins the e-Golf—primarily that there’s no need to stuff batteries and other equipment into whichever nook or cranny will fit them. Volkswagen blames the petrol-first layout for the electric Golf’s 125-mile range, and while we’re a bit skeptical—Hyundai gets 258 miles out of the Kona Electric, which shares its structure with variants that have internal-combustion engines—it’s obvious MEB has plenty of space for a large battery. We have no reason to doubt VW’s estimate of 200 to 300 miles of range, and with the rapid advances being made in battery chemistry, we’d hope those numbers are conservative. We did learn additional interesting bits about the MEB platform. First, although BEVs can have their motors pretty much any place the engineers please, MEB-based cars will offer either rear- or all-wheel-drive. VW is looking for rear-drive performance benefits, which we applaud; still, we have to wonder what fate will befall Snow Belt buyers want a budget-friendly electric car but might be uncomfortable with rear-drive. If they want a VW, they’ll have to pony up for the extra-cost all-wheel-drive system. (Or get winter tires, which can make the drive wheels somewhat less of an issue.) With so much flexibility in powertrain placement, we can’t help but wonder why Volkswagen wouldn’t make front-drive BEVs as well. Another curiosity: The rear brakes are drums. We assumed this was primarily a cost-cutting move; after all, modern BEVs rely heavily on regenerative braking (using the motors as generators to charge the battery, which creates resistance that slows the car), to the point that friction brakes do only a fraction of the work. VW tells us that drums have less rolling resistance when the brakes are released. Rear-wheel drive and disc/drum brakes? It’s the 1970s all over again! The point Volkswagen was looking to make—and the one we see as most important—is that the electric cars it promised in the wake of Dieselgate are well on their way, and that it won’t be staking its future on cars that offer myriad powertrain options. The MEB platform shows that it is approaching EVs as it would gasoline or diesel cars, creating an architecture that can underpin a family of products designed to suit every purse and purpose. Considering that VW is the world’s largest automaker, MEB could signal a sea change in the availability and acceptance of BEVs.

[EVDL] EVLN: (Rumor) GM,Tesla Electric pickup truck
https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1121451_rumor-gm-electric-pickup-could-come-from-tesla Rumor: GM electric pickup could come from Tesla Feb 12, 2019 Eric C. Evarts [image] 2019 GMC Sierra ice Last month, the president of General Motors' GMC truck division said the brand was considering building an electric pickup. Now, according to a CleanTechnica report [ https://cleantechnica.com/2019/02/12/scoop-gm-working-on-electric-pickup-truck-with-tesla-powertrain/ ], that pickup could come from Tesla. Even the CleanTechnica reporter says to file this in the category of an enticing rumor, rather than fact, because there are no pictures, and a single, anonymous source inside GM. Still, he reports confidence in the source and says the person has been reliable about other findings ... Tesla's own CEO Elon Musk has been talking for years about building a Tesla pickup. In his most recent interviews about the Tesla truck, he has described it as "a really futuristic-like cyberpunk, Blade Runner pickup truck," and said that it will have a massive towing capacity of 300,000 pounds and be made with lots of expensive titanium. Musk has even alluded to a second, more attainable and mainstream pickup. Now it looks possible that latter pickup could come from GM. GM CEO Mary Barra has announced that the company plans to convert to an all-electric lineup, and is revamping the automaker's electric strategy with a move to make Cadillac its primary electric-car division. CleanTechnica reports that the General Motors pickup—either a GMC or a Chevrolet Silverado—could get its entire powertrain from Tesla, including batteries and motors. That would hardly be an unprecedented step, after GM leaned on supplier LG to develop most of the powertrain for the Chevrolet Bolt EV. It wouldn't be the first time a company has leaned on Tesla for powertrain components either—Toyota with the 2012-2014 RAV4 EV, for instance ... GM regularly partners with other automakers to provide specialized engineering expertise or manufacturing. The rest of the truck could would come from GM's practiced truck development team. If such an agreement pans out, it could also be a way for GM to access Tesla's battery production from its Nevada Gigafactory, the largest producer of lithium-ion batteries in the world. Thus far, GM has bought batteries from South Korean supplier LG Chem ... Pickups are the second-largest selling segment of the car market, and many electric-car buyers have been clamoring to be able to buy a pickup with battery power. Last month, Ford said it is developing an electric version of its upcoming F-Series, along with a plug-in hybrid version. The automakers seem to be racing startup electric-automaker Rivian, which got a glowing reception for its R1T electric pickup concept when it revealed the truck at the LA auto show last November. It's not clear how seriously to take this report, but we'll be watching for any confirmation.
