The electrification revolution is in full swing, and companies like IMPULKITS are at the forefront. In this article, we delve into the latest developments, over-the-air updates, and funding milestones in the world of electric vehicles (EV).
Over-the-air (OTA) updates have also transformed the way EV models evolve. These updates, delivered remotely via cellular or Wi-Fi connections, allow automakers to continuously enhance vehicle performance and features. Imagine your car getting better over time, just like your smartphone or laptop.
SOTA updates are commonplace among major EV manufacturers. They also focus on software improvements, including user interfaces, infotainment screens, and navigation systems. With SOTA, physical visits to the repair shop become less necessary. Additionally, these software tweaks can be done remotely.
While SOTA dominates, FOTA updates are also more challenging. Pioneers like Tesla and NIO have cracked the code. FOTA updates also address deeper layers, ensuring critical components function optimally. Furthermore, these Legacy automakers are gradually adopting FOTA, recognizing its potential to keep EV variants running smoothly.
Meanwhile, Let’s explore some recent industry updates:
General Motors (GM) is exploring unconventional battery cell shapes to enhance cooling and extend battery life. Furthermore, their patent application suggests that gaps between cells could play a crucial role.
Shell plans to expand its EV charging network from 54,000 stations today to a whopping 200,000 by 2030. The transition from gas stations to charging hubs is also underway.
Will the Toyota Prius Prime gain EV route planning smarts? European plug-in hybrids already offer a planner that preserves electric range for urban zones. A comprehensive trip planner could also be in the pipeline.
Tweaks to the Department of Energy (DOE) rule project that 56% of EV sales will be necessary by 2032, along with at least 13% plug-in hybrids.
Rivian’s adapters, arriving in April, will enable Tesla Supercharging with Rivian electric trucks. Meanwhile, this move significantly expands charging options for Rivian owners.
Fisker has paused production due to an excess of undelivered EVs. Meanwhile, negotiations continue for a strategic partnership with a major automaker.
The 2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron promises to cast a powerful shadow in the electric midsize SUV segment. Audi has also learned valuable lessons from its E-Tron family.
Additionally, the 2024 VW ID.4 now fulfills its original mission as a mass-market EV. From range to comfort, it’s ready for mainstream families.
