Most automakers are dying to sell you—and the world—an electric car. But they’re up against the challenge of our global-warming time: dauntingly tight supplies of both batteries and the ethically sourced raw materials required to make them. Tesla and Volkswagen are among the automakers who see manganese—element No. 25 on the periodic table, situated between… Continue reading Manganese Could Be the Secret Behind Truly Mass-Market EVs

Green Ambitions Energize Hydrogen-Powered Hydrofoil Startup
“No other industry is undergoing as rapid technological change as the auto industry,” says Zoran Filipi, Chair of the Department of Automotive Engineering at Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Research. “This is driven by the need to address impending, evermore stringent CO2 and criteria emission regulations, while sustaining unprecedented rate of progress with development… Continue reading Green Ambitions Energize Hydrogen-Powered Hydrofoil Startup
800-Volt EV Charging: The Other Palliative for Range Anxiety
The layered components of an Infinitum Electric axial-flux motor are shown here, in exploded form.INFINITUM ELECTRIC This saving of energy is critically important: Software may be eating the world, but electricity is increasingly what makes the world go round. Electric motors consume a little over half of the world’s electricity today. Some 800 million motors… Continue reading 800-Volt EV Charging: The Other Palliative for Range Anxiety
Ferrari’s Plug-in Hybrid One-Ups the Combustion Engine
Something strange is happening in the Ferrari SF90. With a silly-sounding 1,000 metric horsepower under my right foot, the SF90 should be sliding sideways through this devilish stretch of the Pista di Fiorano test track. Especially since I’m straining to keep pace with Raffaele de Simone just ahead, the Ferrari test driver who routinely sets… Continue reading Ferrari’s Plug-in Hybrid One-Ups the Combustion Engine
Nickel Cells Sell More-Affordable Hydrogen Power
Similar mismatches in supply and demand contributed to massive cascading blackouts in August 2003 in the northeastern United States and Canada, in July 2012 in India, and in March 2019 in Venezuela. The situation is unlikely to get better anytime soon, for three reasons. First, as countries everywhere move to decarbonize, the electrification of transportation,… Continue reading Nickel Cells Sell More-Affordable Hydrogen Power
This Axial-Flux Motor With a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
The heart of any electric motor consists of a rotor that revolves around a stationary part, called a stator. The stator, traditionally made of iron, tends to be heavy. Stator iron accounts for about two-thirds of the weight of a conventional motor. To lighten the stator, some people proposed making it out of a printed… Continue reading This Axial-Flux Motor With a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
Behind the Wheel, Under the Hood of World’s First 500-Mile EV
One way to minimize such delays is by cutting a path through the Internet, one that takes into account the traffic conditions up ahead. My company, Subspace, has built such a network using custom hardware and a proprietary fiber-optic backbone. And we’ve shown it doesn’t have to be complicated—users don’t have to do anything more… Continue reading Behind the Wheel, Under the Hood of World’s First 500-Mile EV
