Carmaker SEAT to build Spain's first electric vehicle battery plant

Spanish carmaker SEAT said on Wednesday that it plans to build Spain's first electric car battery plant as part of a 10-billion-euro investment in the country's electric car initiative. The Spanish government said last year that it would convert the country's car manufacturing industry, the second-largest in Europe, with funds from the European Union's post-pandemic recovery plan. SEAT, which is part of the Volkswagen Group, plans to build the battery plant in Sagunto, a town near the eastern city of Valencia. The company said the Volkswagen Group would also electrify SEAT's existing car plants in the northern city of Pamplona and Martorell, a town near Barcelona. SEAT President Wayne Griffiths said the 10 billion-euro investment would allow the company to make electric cars for both domestic sales and the European export market. SEAT had already committed to producing an electric car in the 20,000- to 25,000-euro (USD 20,000-25,000) range. This project will democratise access to

New space tech can charge electric cars in just five minutes: NASA

A new NASA-funded technology for future space missions may charge an electric car in just five minutes on Earth, paving the way for increased adoption of such vehicles, the US space agency said. Researchers at Purdue University, US developed the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE) to enable two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer experiments to be conducted in the long-duration microgravity environment on the International Space Station (ISS). The new "subcooled flow boiling" technique results in greatly improved heat transfer effectiveness compared to other approaches and could be used to control the temperatures of future systems in space. This technology can also have applications on Earth: It could make owning an electric car more appealing, the researchers said. Currently, charging times vary widely, from 20 minutes at a station alongside a roadway to hours using an at-home charging station. Lengthy charging times and charger location are both cited as major concer
