Produced

Tesla is now allowed to sell the Model Y vehicles it produced during the long “test phase” at Gigafactory Berlin. While no number has been disclosed, we are talking about potentially thousands of electric vehicles. For the better part of a year, Tesla was stuck in a regulatory limbo at Gigafactory Berlin before it was finally allowed to officially start production in March 2022. But the automaker disclosed that it actually started producing vehicles at the plant in late 2021. Those vehicles were produced under…

Ola Electric unveiled the country's first indigenously developed lithium ion cell. The Bengaluru-based two-wheeler maker said it will begin the mass production of the cell—NMC 2170—from its Chennai-based Gigafactory by 2023. The use of specific chemistry and materials enables the cell to pack more energy in a given space and also improves the overall life cycle of the cell, the company said in a statement. The cell has been developed keeping the indigenous conditions at the core, it added. "A cell is the heart of the…

What's in a star? Well, if you're a highly evolved specimen nearing the end of its life named HD 222925, rather a heck of a lot, actually.Scientists have conducted an analysis of this dim object, and identified 65 separate elements. That's the most elements ever found in a single object outside the Solar System, and most of them are heavy elements from the bottom of the periodic table, rarely found in stars.  Since these elements can only form in extremely energetic events such as supernovae or neutron star mergers, via…

A powerful solar flare just erupted from the surface of the Sun – and NASA captured stunning footage of it.The X-class flare, the strongest produced by our star, was recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory as it burst from a sunspot on the lower left limb of the Sun at 9:25 am EDT (13:25 GMT) on Tuesday (May 3).  Sunspots are areas on the Sun's surface where powerful magnetic fields, created by the flow of electrical charges, knot into kinks before suddenly snapping. The resulting release of energy launches bursts…

Tesla confirmed that nearly half of all its vehicles produced last quarter are already using cobalt-free iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries. The information also gives us an interesting insight into Tesla’s mix of models, which is generally quite opaque. Over the last few years, CEO Elon Musk has said multiple times that Tesla plans to shift more electric cars to LFP batteries in order to overcome nickel and cobalt supply concerns. Iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which don’t use nickel or cobalt, are traditionally…

When you think of the auto industry’s push toward reducing carbon emissions, most people immediately think about electric cars. While automakers left and right are pushing toward an electric future, there’s more to making cars environmentally friendly than simply replacing internal combustion engines with electric motors—especially when it comes to manufacturing them. For that reason, wheels for all BMW Group cars will soon be produced with "100 percent green power."Friday, BMW announced its plans to cast wheels entirely…
