Mercedes-AMG's Axial Flux Revolution: Real Tech, Not Clickbait
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Mercedes-AMG's axial flux motors from YASA offer up to 4× the torque density of conventional EV motors, enabling compact, oil-cooled drive units with sustained high output. The AMG GT XX concept uses three motors delivering over 1,000 hp and sets the stage for production in 2026. Competing designs from Magnax and Lucchi push efficiency and modularity, but Mercedes leads with centralized deployment on its AMG.EA platform. Axial flux tech outclasses ICE in power, size, and efficiency.Moscow's Electric Bus Expansion Amid the Ukraine War
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Moscow is expanding its electric and autonomous bus fleet, now the largest in Europe, but the Ukraine war has slowed progress. Sanctions and supply shortages hinder access to key tech, forcing a shift to domestic production. Fuel shortages from refinery attacks, cyber disruptions, and strained budgets add pressure. Despite setbacks, Moscow aims to replace diesel buses by 2030, though war-driven economic strain threatens long-term transit modernization.Rivian's Maximus Drive Unit Boosts R2 SUV Power Density & Manufacturing Efficiency
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian's Maximus drive unit, launching with the R2 SUV in early 2026, boosts power density by 40% over previous models. It’s smaller, lighter, and easier to manufacture thanks to a simplified stator, integrated cooling and electronics, and fewer fasteners. A redesigned wiring harness further streamlines production, reduces weight enhancing scalability and efficiency.The Biggest Untold Story of 2025: Energy Fragility and Economic Risk
29 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A deepening energy crisis is quietly reshaping global stability. Aging infrastructure, declining EROEI, and financial overextension expose systemic vulnerabilities. As oil production plateaus and economic models falter, the risks of supply shocks and cascading failures grow. Chris Martenson—economic researcher and creator of The Crash Course—guides viewers through this urgent, underreported threat, rekindling the long denigrated "Peak Oil" debateBMW Just Cranked Out Its 3 Millionth Electrified Vehicle
28 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
BMW has built its 3 millionth electrified vehicle - a 330e plug-in hybrid assembled in Munich. This milestone includes both EVs and plug-in hybrids. In the first half of 2025, over 25% of BMW's global deliveries were electrified. The company also recently produced its 1.5 millionth fully electric vehicle, a Mini Countryman SE. BMW expects electrified sales to keep growing as part of its tech-neutral strategy.

Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | 
Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
Ferrari Elettrica: Electrified, Not Tamed
09 Oct 2025 | 
Ferrari's Elettrica EV delivers over 1,000 hp via quad motors, hitting 0-100 km/h in 2.5s with a 330+ mile range. Its 122 kWh battery sits low for balance, paired with active suspension and rear steering. Designed by LoveFrom, the four-door GT aims to preserve Ferrari's emotional DNA. Priced around $580K, it launches in 2026 in Europe and the U.S., with hybrids and ICE models still dominating until 2030
Are Self-Driving Cars Safer Than Humans? The Data May Surprise You
09 Oct 2025 | 
Studies show autonomous vehicles (AVs) are generally safer than human drivers, avoiding most rear-end and broadside crashes and performing better in poor weather. However, AVs struggle with complex maneuvers like unprotected turns and low-light conditions. If AVs are just 10% safer, they could prevent 600,000 U.S. deaths over 35 years. As EVs become autonomy platforms, safety depends on how well they interpret real-world scenarios
