Western Australia’s biggest dairy is investing thousands of dollars into building its own power supply, hoping to bypass unreliable electricity from the grid and costly fuel to cut production costs. Peninsula Downs has been operating for more than 70 years and has eight properties across Scott River and Warner Glen in the state’s South West region. For decades, the business has relied on grid electricity and diesel generators to power centre pivot irrigation, which pumps groundwater...

Christian de Looper/BGR We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Google launched the Pixel 10 Pro along with other Google Pixel 10 series devices in mid-2025. The Pixel 10 Pro is a solid phone that offers an excellent camera, enough performance for everyday use, and good battery life. Regarding the latter, this phone has a 4,870 mAh battery, and it holds up pretty well, as shown in our hands-on review of the Pixel 10 Pro. Plus, it’s the perfect middle device in GoogleR...

Small Suzuki has already made significant progress in the development of solid-state batteries. By acquiring a business unit, the brand suddenly has expertise dating back to 2006, although that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to buy a Suzuki with such a battery tomorrow. Suzuki Motor Corporation is acquiring Kanadevia’s solid-state operations. Kanadevia, formerly Hitachi Zosen, has been developing the holy grail of batteries since 2006—solid-state batteries. Apparently, they’ve...

At first glance, the Aria EV doesn’t look much different from any other student-built electric prototype—no different from the battery-powered cars built by engineering students from dozens of universities every year. Beneath its panels, however, is a challenge to the modern auto industry: What if electric vehicles were designed to be repaired by their owners? The Aria project began in 2024, when roughly 20 students assembled at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands under the...

Soon after Google gave us our first glimpse of the Pixel 10a, it attracted plenty of heat. Looks identical to its predecessor. A no-upgrade chip situation. A similar status for the camera. And display. And battery. That’s a lot to take in.   It’s almost as if Google pulled an Apple. And somehow, did worse.  But there’s more to this phone than meets the eye. I have only had the chance to push it as my daily driver for a week, which is not enough for a full review. But that spell still ga...

Kenyan electric mobility firm Roam on Tuesday launched Roam Explorer, an artificial intelligence-driven platform designed to track and manage electric vehicle fleets across Africa in real time, including in areas with poor connectivity. The platform connects electric motorcycles, tuk-tuks, buses and cars to a central system that monitors battery health, performance, location and usage. Roam said the system addresses a major challenge in Africa’s electric mobility transition: the lack of visibi...

Scrolling through electric dirt bikes for sale can feel straightforward at first. You see different models lined up with bold claims about speed, battery size, and performance. It’s tempting to compare numbers, sort by price, and assume the decision is mostly technical. But buying an electric dirt bike isn’t just about picking the highest specification within your budget. Before you even start comparing listings seriously, it helps to understand what actually affects your riding experience....

This webinar looks at a Battery Electric Virtual Vehicle Model of a mid-size BEV, and uses Simulink and Simscape to facilitate design exploration, component refinement, and system-level optimization. The virtual vehicle comprises five subsystems: Electric powertrain, driveline, refrigerant cycle, coolant cycle, and passenger cabin. The model will be tested using different drive cycles, cooling, and heating scenarios.  The results will be analyzed to determine the impact of the different design...
