HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

The Best Selling Electric Vehicles of 2023

Critical battery investment from Chinese Geely in the USA!
Geely one of China&#8217;s largest automobile groups is buying Proterra Powered. The company has been operating in the field of battery supply for electric buses and commercial vehicles in the USA for 20 years for $ 210 million!
Proterra Powered is a battery and motor manufacturer affiliated with Proterra, which filed for bankruptcy protection in August 2023 due to difficulties in supplying battery cells and seeking funding. 20 years of experience and customer portfolio will be transferred to the Chinese with the agreement.
Proterra Powered&#8217;s battery solutions were previously used by Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey for the Citi VOLT electric bus. The company has a battery pack/module development center in California and a battery assembly plant in South Carolina.
Geely made the $210 million purchase through the Sweden-based Volvo Group The Group operates within its own organisation, and can use Proterra&#8217;s battery experience in Volvo brand commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars.
The Chinese giant, which was preparing to launch its Zeekr sub-brand, which produces only electric cars, to the stock market in the USA, was planning to expand its sales network in Europe in 2024, while in 2025 it had the desire to open up to the US market. In a possible US car factory investment, Proterra&#8217;s battery facilities could be a great advantage for Zeekr.
The company recently announced that another brand, Polestar, will be produced in South Korea in agreement with Renault to avoid 2.5%+25% customs duty in the US.

Critical Battery Investment In The US By Chinese Geely

Volvo has unveiled plans to sell an all-electric minivan in China, where it will be one of the company&#8217;s top-of-the-line cars, alongside the EX90 SUV. There is no information on when it will be released or whether it will be sold outside of China. But we have a pretty decent idea as to which newly launched car it will be matched to.
The news that there will be a Volvo version came during a media briefing held by Qin Peiji, President of Volvo Cars Greater China Sales Company. According to some reports, Volvo will reveal its electric people carrier in concept form in the third quarter of 2023 and the production version will be shown and launched before the end of the year.
The six-seat Zeekr 009 is a vehicle of the same design that rides on the same Geely Sustainable Experience Architecture platform that the Volvo will be manufactured on. It resembles the Swedish manufacturer&#8217;s reimagining of the Volvo electric MPV. It includes a large 140 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 536 horsepower, giving it a stated range of 511 miles/822 kilometers.
During a press conference given by Qin Peiji, President of Volvo Cars Greater China Sales Company, it was announced that there will also be a Volvo model. Volvo will unveil its electric people carrier in concept form in the third quarter of 2023, and the production version will be displayed and unveiled before the year is through.
<h2>Volvo Enlivens the External and Interior Designs with Its Minivan</h2>
Both Volvo and Zeekr vehicles will be sold in China, but neither brand&#8217;s parent corporation, Geely, will offset the other&#8217;s sales. Therefore, it is assumed that the Volvo model would be positioned more affluently than the 009, which presently has a starting price in China of just under $75,000.
Later on, a cheaper Zeekr 009 with rear-wheel drive will be made available, although Volvo could decide to keep their model all-wheel drive-only to charge higher prices for it.

While Volvo Cars is trying to find ways to create an EV charging corridor in the Pacific Northwest, Volvo Trucks is also attempting to build another charging network for its all-electric semi-trucks in production and it has already started making partnerships with key players.
Volvo is about to ally with Shell Recharge Solutions (formerly known as Greenlots), TEC Equipment, Affinity Truck Center, and Western Truck Center. The partnership aims to build a widely accessible medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicle (MHD EV) charging network along with the most important port cities and industrial centers throughout California.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) under BESTFIT has granted the Volvo Group a $2 million endowment to begin “the Electrified Charging Corridor Project”.  The project will help to overcome the problems of long-range MHD EV deployments and slow widespread adoption.

Peter Voorhoeve, president of Volvo Trucks North America, explains the project’s goal as opening the door to a completely electrified freight future in which zero-tailpipe emission MHD EV trucks will be no longer limited to short-mileage and return-to-base operations and will reach far and wide across the state. He also stated that:
“We are excited to begin construction of the Electrified Charging Corridor Project this year in collaboration with these pioneering truck dealerships so that we can further support fleets in successfully integrating battery-electric trucks into their operations, including our Volvo VNR Electric model. With the support of the CEC helping to drive and manifest this project, we will see an accelerated progression with ripple effects across the industry.”
The Electrified Charging Corridor Project has three main targets for convenient charging. First, it will help small business fleets that will be in financial hardship if they make a major investment into the charging network. Secondly, the project will create opportunities for the fleets looking to pilot an MHD EV through rent or short-term leasing. And thirdly, fleets that need an OEM-neutral location to “opportunity charge” along their route will benefit from the charging network of Volvo Group.
CEC Commissioner Patty Monahan states that “The Energy Commission is thrilled to support the Electrified Charging Corridor Project, which will help California meet its goals for zeroing out tailpipe emissions from trucks.”
Volvo Trucks claims that the project will begin very quickly later this year with all five stations planned to be available by the end of 2023.

Volvo to build a charging corridor for its all-electric trucks

Volvo has aimed to produce only fully electric cars by 2030 and to become carbon neutral by 2040. In pursuit of this, the company has announced its investment of $1.25 billion into the third factory in Europe in addition to its two plants in Sweden and Belgium.
The new factory will be located near Kosice in eastern Slovakia, which is very important location for the company. Volvo Cars creates a European triangle of manufacturing covering its largest sales region — complementing the Ghent plant (Belgium) in western Europe and the Torslanda plant (Sweden) in northern Europe.
The building of the Slovakia factory will begin in 2023 and production equipment and production lines will be assembled in 2024. The Slovakian government will undertake 20% of the investment. The mass production of the &#8216;next generation&#8217; electric Volvos will start by 2026.
By ‘next generation’, it means Volvo&#8217;s mega casting technology will produce most of the vehicle chassis in one piece with giant aluminum casting machines. Thanks to the new technique that will reduce the production cost and vehicle weight, the new generation Volvo electric vehicles will be able to offer a much longer range compared to their counterparts, and more space for the driver and passengers in the car.
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Volvo’s 2025 goal: 1.2 million cars</h2>

The Swedish automotive giant plans to produce approximately 250.000 electric cars per year in its third European factory. The company will meet its energy needs from entirely renewable sources and will ensure that the aluminum used in the factory is produced in the most environmental-friendly way.
Volvo predicts that it will increase its annual automobile production capacity to 1.2 million by 2025 with the start of production in Slovakia. European factories will undertake half of this capacity, while facilities in the USA and China will meet the other half.
The company has decided to build a new plant in Slovakia because of not only the European automobile market but also the generous incentive of the Slovakian government. Volvo still sells the most cars in Europe. The company has made significant gains in the Chinese market recently whereas they will continue to be the western-oriented brand of the Geely Group, as can be understood with this investment move.

<h2>600 Kilometers Range</h2>
According to the WLTP standard, the new electric SUV will have a range of 373 miles/600 kilometers. As of yet, there are no EPA range numbers available but estimate it to be 10% to 15% lower than the WLTP figure. There are no pricing details available at this time.
The Polestar 3 will be constructed utilizing the company&#8217;s latest Scalable Product Architecture, which will integrate &#8220;automated highway piloting driven by Luminar&#8217;s best-in-class LIDAR sensor and centralized NVIDIA computing capability,&#8221; resulting in a largely autonomous driving system on some limited-access highways.
<h2>Compact SUV And  Sports Sedan  Models In Near Future</h2>
In 2023, the Polestar 4 compact SUV will be introduced, followed by the Polestar 5 sports sedan in 2024. The sports sedan is a production model of Jo Borras&#8217; Precept Concept, which was revealed last year. It&#8217;s also considering developing an electric roadster code-named 02. It intends to sell more automobiles in more than 30 nations around the world than Porsche.
The corporation could be broken off as a distinct entity later this year. It will be through a reverse merger with a special purpose acquisition company. On this occasion, it will become a publicly-traded company. When the Polestar 3 is formally unveiled at a launch ceremony in October, Polestar will begin taking orders.
