Verge Motorcycles launches electric superbike
F1 legend and two-time World Champion Mika Häkkinen has designed the signature model of a new electric superbike in collaboration with Verge Motorcycles. Just one hundred signature models will be produced, making it an extremely exclusive rarity.
Why Pre-Charge Circuits are Necessary in High-Voltage Systems
Failure to manage inrush current can lead to damaged cables, connectors, or fuses (11 Ways to Protect Your Power Path). High-voltage systems (100V+) often use precharged circuits to limit inrush current.

Is it worth switching to electric vehicles in 2023?
With just seven years left until the 2030 ban of new petrol and diesel vehicles takes effect, many are wondering whether now is the time to make the switch to an electric vehicle.
More miles, fewer wires in future electric vehicles
Going wireless with the next generation of battery management systems (BMS) removes heavy communications cabling from inside EVs to help improve driving range and reliability. "When we create new solutions for wireless battery management systems for electric vehicles (EVs), our customers can design EVs that are lighter, go farther on a single charge and meet the highest level of functional safety standards to improve reliability." &n...
