"Carbon Nanomaterials Laboratory for Renewable Energy and Multi-functional Composites at the University of Waterloo produced a proof of concept for the electrolyte...demonstrated higher performance than conventional electrolytes, according to the company...results showed that, at -40° C, the electrolyte retained 62.5% of its capacity, compared to just 16.8% for the standard electrolyte.27 Oct 2024 | Synopsis
The Twin-E kit allows cars to run up to 50 km/h in "full electric mode" then switches to a hybrid power if it goes over that speed...the company installs a 48V electric engine along with a planetary gearset, which replaces the car's old manual gearbox. Then, a rechargeable battery is added to the floor in the boot of the car."The Twin-E kit is not available yet, but...should be ready by mid-2025...cost roughly €8,500..."

"An 18.8-kW electric propulsion system at the rear can get the boat up to a top speed of 30 knots (~34.5 mph), though cruise speed is between 18 and 22 knots. And two 5-kWh (48-V) Torqeedo battery packs provide the juice, with Foil-One reporting that users could get more than 2 hours of electric thrills per charge..."Being an electric foiler, the vessel can likely be used in locations where combustion-engine boats are not allowed."

"Tesla launched the Cybertruck nearly a year ago. In that year, BYD thus will have released 9–16 models...is BYD sales have continued growing fast while Tesla sales have dropped or stagnated...part of this is lack of new models and dropping enthusiasm for current models"Tesla is still making billions of dollars in profit. It's not failing. It's only in comparison to previously forecast growth of 50% a year, on average, that it's failing."

"It's designed to extinguish EV fires by drilling through the underside of an electric vehicle to reach the battery pack...water is fed through a hose to a turbine that drives the drill..it can penetrate the vehicle's underbody and battery pack within two minutes... Once the water starts spraying into the pack, it can be extinguished in as little as a half hour...a lot faster than the several hours (or even days) it usually takes to put out an EV fire."25 Oct 2024 | Synopsis
"Alphabet-backed Waymo earlier this month unveiled a pilot program under which it will offer $3 credits for future rides when users in the Bay Area hail a Waymo robotaxi to take them to or from certain transit stations."Waymo recently surveyed its riders in San Francisco and found that 36% use Waymo One, the company's robotaxi service, to connect to public transit...The program covers eight Bay Area transit stations across three different systems..."
