Electric car sales soar!All you need is a shiny logo, a safe battery, new plastic technology!

Company News > Electric car sales soar!All you need is a shiny logo, a safe battery, new plastic technology!

Recently, the new forces of domestic car production have released the report card of new energy vehicles in July!

Ideal Automobile delivered 8,589 Ideal ONE units, up 251.3% year on yearXiaopeng automobile delivered 8040 units, a year-on-year growth of 228%, a sequential growth of 22%!Nio delivered 7,931 vehicles, up 124.5% year on year,The delivery of Nezha vehicles exceeded 6,000 for the first time, reaching 6,011 units, up 392% year on year, setting a new record!Gac's AION family terminal sales reached 10,604 units, far surpassing ideal, Xiaopeng, Weilai and Nezha.

The order of zero-run cars exceeded 6,000 units, reaching 6,540 units, a month-on-month increase of 59%;Among them, 4,404 new cars were delivered in July, up 666% year-on-year and 12% month-on-month.Byd, the world's largest electric car maker, has yet to release July sales figures, but the brand delivered 40,116 electric cars in June, up 207% from a year earlier.Sales of neVs are also on the rise in the US and Europe.According to Market Watch, the number of plug-in hybrid vehicles sold in the U.S. in the second quarter was 258,028, up 254.9% from a year earlier and 181% from the previous quarter.The European market saw 237,934 electric vehicle registrations in June, up 157% from a year earlier.

From China to the U.S. to Europe, it's safe to say that sales in major ev markets are growing steadily.At the same time, chemical companies are accelerating the development of new polymer grades, additives or processing methods to meet the requirements of electric vehicles, which require polymers with high dielectric strength, high strength to weight ratio, flame retardancy and impact resistance. Molding compound moped elevation luster also reduces costs Volkswagen's new ELECTRIC CAR ID.3 is one of the new models to look forward to in the electric car market this year.It is understood that ID.3 in the appearance of the Volkswagen family design language, the front face is equipped with a closed intake grille and collocation through type lamp group.

It is worth noting that the ID.3 LOGO has a flat design, with the chrome-plated letters V and W placed on a high-gloss black background, and the diameter of the LOGO has been increased by 4.5cm, which makes it easier to notice whether the LOGO is placed on the front or back of the car. ID.3 logo manufacturer - Austrian automotive supplier Ulbrichts GmbH manufactured the logo from two PLEXIGLAS® high gloss molding compound PMMA materials.Both high-gloss products are special molding chemicals from Roma Chemistry.

According to the introduction, the PMMA has 20 years of automotive black high gloss parts such as pillar plate application history.It can create high color dark grade A finish surface.Black and white helps highlight the letters on the badge.Volkswagen has been using this effect for a number of years, and has been refined and optimized so that a black background made of PLEXIGLAS® high gloss PMMA can better highlight chrome-plated letters. The PMMA is resistant to fuel and many other chemicals, and has excellent uv and weather resistance, making the car badge that does not fade or brittle easily.PLEXIGLAS® High gloss Molding compound eliminates the need to apply high gloss paint to the badge and creates high gloss black and white components with a class A surface by injection molding, reducing the cost of production per component. Romchem says illuminated signs are the future of automotive logos, as shown in the ID.ROOMZZ concept car.The lid of the luminous sign is made by PLEXIGLAS® with an optical coating to make it look brighter.

All plastic battery: not easy to heat up and compact stack APB, a Japanese startup, plans to begin commercial production this year of lithium-ion batteries made entirely of plastic, hoping to make power batteries safer.APB's all-plastic battery. APB, short for "All Polymer battery," uses special polymers that conduct electricity.Unlike most lithium-ion batteries, all of its components are made of plastic.According to APB founder Hideaki Horie, polymers have a higher current resistance, and APB batteries made from plastic are less likely to heat up significantly, meeting cost and safety requirements.In addition to safety, APB's batteries can be stacked in a more compact manner, increasing energy density by three times compared to conventional batteries.APB plans to build a plant in Fukui prefecture, Japan, this year to produce three million kilowatt-hours of batteries a year.By around 2025, the company hopes to increase that to 30GWh, at a cost of about 10 yen per watt hour.

The plastic batteries will be made in other regions, including North America, once the Japanese plant has scaled up production. PEEK made ABS/ESC plunger for better sealing performance Solvay has announced the launch of a new class of KetaSpire® PEEK KT-850 SCF 30, designed for precision braking systems and electronic pump assemblies for electric vehicles.The product is designed to provide better sealing performance than the standard 30% carbon fiber filled PEEK rating.

Traditionally, carbon-fiber filled PEEK is used in anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) components such as tappets, poppers, and plungers.The new KT-850 SCF 30 can further replace the metal aluminum by improving the flow characteristics of the material and the surface finish of the parts.ABS/ESC plunger plays an important role in the function of the system hydraulic unit.The system combines an electronic pump, an electronic control unit (ECU), a valve that controls wheel brake pressure, and a sensor that measures wheel speed.The plunger is responsible for operating the valve movement by controlling the brake fluid supply.

The KetaSpire® KT-850 SCF 30 material balances high performance characteristics including coefficient of friction, mechanical strength, dimensional tolerance control and sealing capability.Replacing aluminum in precision components such as ABS plungers can reduce overall costs and increase productivity.The KetaSpire® KT-850 SCF 30 provides the fluidity required to fill parts that are approximately 15 mm in length, while also meeting the strict tolerances required for ABS/ESC plungers.KetaSpire® KT-850 SCF 30's workability is superior to the workability of existing materials, resulting in higher yields and higher surface finish resulting in better sealing and mechanical properties.

"The new carbon-filled KetaSpire® PEEK brand offers a new solution for the electric vehicle market at a time when manufacturers are looking to enhance seal and mechanical properties.It is part of our complete set of high-performance solutions for braking systems, "said Brian Baleno, Head of transportation marketing at Solvay Materials." The professional product portfolio also includes Amodel® PPA for ABS/ESC pistons, motor end caps, solenos, brake assist sensors and electronic parking brake enclosures;Ryton® PPS for braking pistons and housing, and Fomblin® PFPE for electric parking brake lubricants."Source: Eighth element plastic sheet
