A Tiny 29-Pound Electric Motor Just Beat Everyone in Power Density

30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Yasa, a UK-based engineering firm under Mercedes-Benz, has created a breakthrough prototype electric motor weighing just 28.8 lb and generating 737.5 hp - setting a new benchmark for power density at roughly 42 W/kg. While Koenigsegg's Dark Matter motor delivers 800 hp, it is significantly heavier. Yasa's design avoids exotic materials, enabling scalable production of up to 50,000 units annually.

Lucid Air: 72,000 Miles, $0 Maintenance vs. $4,850 on a Corvette C8

29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

A Lucid Air owner reports driving 72,000 miles with zero maintenance expenses—only new tires at 70K miles due to accidental damage. In contrast, maintaining a 2020 Corvette C8 over the same distance would cost approximately $4,850 for oil changes, transmission service, and tires. The post highlights the time and cost advantages of an EV over a gas-powered muscle car.

Watch A Cybertruck Dangle In Mid-Air Thanks To Tesla Repair Glue

29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

In a video stunt, a Tesla Cybertruck was suspended by a two-and-a-half-inch patch of Tesla's structural adhesive ("Fusor 2098"), supporting its full 6,600‑lb weight. The story follows earlier reported failures of glued-on body trim and panels - leading to at least one recall - highlighting risks of adhesive use in a stainless‑steel vehicle design. Although structural glue can be strong, its visible applications have sparked safety and quality

California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?

13 Oct 2025 | California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.

The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels

13 Oct 2025 | The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.

Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries

13 Oct 2025 | Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
