Electric Vehicles: “Smartphones on Wheels” or “supercomputers on four wheels”?

The shorthand comparisons — “a smartphone with four wheels” or “a supercomputer on wheels” — catch headlines, but they don’t capture what modern electric vehicles (EVs) actually are. By 2025 the industry has moved well beyond simple metaphors. EVs are integrated technical ecosystems that combine propulsion, energy management, hardware manufacturing, software and services. 1. Electrification […]

If Apple Had Stayed in the Car Business: How the Auto and Tech Landscapes Would Have Shifted

Auto Brand Focus, Auto Tech, Auto Tech Insights / September 29, 2025

Apple was one of the most and the greatest players to change the Auto world, we should not forget it. And please let’s image it. Picture a world where Apple pressed forward with Project Titan, overcame manufacturing and regulatory hurdles, and shipped a polished Apple-branded EV. That single decision would have done more than add

The Next Charge: How EV Battery Technologies Are Evolving for Range, Speed, and Sustainability

Auto Tech, Auto Tech Insights / September 18, 2025

Batteries for electric vehicles have shifted from a single hardware component to the central strategic focus of the auto industry. Multiple innovation pathways — incremental lithium-ion refinements, silicon-heavy anodes, lithium-metal/anode-free designs, solid electrolytes, rapid-charge architectures, and large-scale recycling — are advancing at once. Together they’re extending range, shortening charging times, and cutting lifecycle environmental impacts.

Battery Monitoring Intelligence in the Automotive Industry

Auto Tech, Auto Tech Insights / August 12, 2025

Battery monitoring has evolved from a simple protection layer into a core competency for electric vehicles (EVs). Modern Battery Management Systems (BMS) must do more than measure voltage and current — they must accurately estimate usable energy, detect early degradation, manage cell balance and temperature, and feed reliable telemetry for fleet-level prognostics. Success depends on

Automotive-grade chips vs. consumer-grade chips: Differences in the “rules of survival” in the intelligent era

Auto Tech, Auto Tech Insights / July 13, 2025

In an era where smart terminals and smart cars are advancing in parallel, the design and manufacturing of chips, as the core “brain”, follow completely different logics. Automotive-grade chips and consumer-grade chips, one protects life safety, the other drives digital life, and the two show profound differences in “survival rules” in terms of technical indicators,
