Arbin Press Releases
While electrifying road vehicles – cars, buses, bikes – are widely talked about, one type of EV is slowly paving its way into the world: eVTOL or electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. Like a helicopter, eVTOLs do not require a runway to land or takeoff, making it a good option for cities with a […]

Seemingly straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie, self-driving cars may soon be a reality. Multiple big-name companies are racing to release robotaxis – self-driving cars meant to ferry passengers between destinations. Zoox, a self-driving car company acquired by Amazon earlier in 2020 unveiled its robotaxi in December after years of secrecy. In the same […]

What is the “Internet of Things”? Our world is more connected than ever with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT refers to the multitude of “things” connected to the Internet, collecting and sharing information or allowing users to perform or initiate functions without even being physically present. An automated smart home would […]

There’s big news in the battery world. A new modeling study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reported that second life batteries from the electric car industry could be reusable for grid storage in solar operations. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows, and with states like California phasing out gasoline-powered vehicles, there will soon be an abundance […]

Cold can be a threat to car batteries. Drivers in below-freezing temperatures routinely must deal with dead batteries that need a jump. However, researchers at Penn State University developed a solution to this problem. The new battery they developed has an extra material layer that enables cold charging. How the Cold-Charging Battery Works There are many components […]

Weight is a critical factor in the development and advancement of portable and mobile battery-based technology. The gradual reduction in size and weight of the battery has allowed the adoption of mobile technology to flourish in the past few years. Take the cell phone as an example, the first portable handheld mobile phone in 1973 […]

A battery management system allows users to monitor individual cells within a battery pack. As cells work together to release energy to the load, it is crucial to maintain stability throughout the whole pack. This is where a battery management system (BMS) comes into play. A BMS allows for constant monitoring, gathering, and communicating information […]
