A First Look At CES 2023: EV Concepts
The 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was held in Las Vegas, United States. In this first part, I have compiled some of the technologies showcased at CES 2023 to look forward to for Electric Vehicles (EV) and farming equipment.
To get the show started Stellantis came out with a bang as it unveiled the concept for the company’s latest Dodge Ram electric pick-up truck, which is going to hit the market alogn with other full-size trucks competing for market share of electric vehicles (EV). This EV is called the Ram 1500 Revolution; it is a battery-powered production truck.
On one of the most disputed topics related to EVs and the related marketplace, EV charging networks are redefining transportation and mobility — in this case, electric mobility (e-mobility) trends. That’s why everyone was happy to hear about Mercedes-Benz new plan to roll out an EV charging network for North American EV markets by 2027.
Another internationally-recognized French automobile brand, Peugot, announced its new concept car at CES 2023 called Inception. The Peugot car brand is owned by Stellantis after the Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group brands merged in January 2021. The name Inception was inspired from the Latin root word “Inceptio” and was built on one of Stellantis’ future battery electric vehicle (BEV) platforms. It will be powered by an 800-volt, 100kWh battery and comes with a four-wheel drive component that allows for induction — eliminating the need to recharge by electric power cables.
Lastly, I’m happy to share with you the latest ag-technology from American agricultural giant, John Deere, who announced a new toy for farmers, ranchers and planters — a sensor-driving robotics ag-tech platform called ExactShot. The purpose of the new ag-tech platform is to assist farmers to more accurately plant fertilizer seeds; this is also referred to as precision agriculture (PA) farming techniques. But also read about the lastest update to right to repair (R2R) laws for John Deere farm equiment and technology. The news on 9 January 2022 was a big win for American farmers, but also calls into question future regulatory barriers that could prevent John Deere from following through on the deal.
