The EQ XX Vision is Mercedes' take on the most practical, aerodynamic EV in the world. While the car is arguably the most beautiful EV created, Mercedes threw out all the stops when it came to range. Capable of a 1000 klm on a single charge, the Vision gives us a look at what is possible. This great video by Premier Aerodynamics explains it all

🚗✨ The Peugeot #E-3008 GT arrived with its fastback design and floating spoiler for enhanced aerodynamics. However, its #STLA Medium platform became a trending topic: native EV, it is the first vehicle within the #Stellantis range to offer this brand-new multimodal platform and it is equipped with 400V lithium-ion NMC batteries (73kWh) and permanent magnet synchronous motors. We are looking forward to delving into the secrets of this newly presented vehicle that sets the scene for a whole new family of models.

Innovations in engineering can be found in every single part of a Lucid. This is why we stand out from the rest. #LucidGravity #RoadToLucidGravity Lucid Motors

Lucid Motors continues to impress. Not only is it one of the fastest charging cars in the market by kW power, but it now leads in how many miles it can go on each of those kWh. For example. My 2017 Chevrolet Bolt. 50kW DC Fast Charging Speed 3 miles / kWh 150 miles per hour of charge. Lucid Air 350kW DC Fast Charging Speed 5 miles / kWh 1750 mile per hour of charge The Lucid can charge 11 times faster! However after doing a 750 mile drive, I found that even with 250 kW and 4 mi / kWh 2018 Tesla model 3 (1000 mi / hour charge) was able to charge faster than I was ready. After 3 hours of driving I needed to take care of my human needs; a snack, bathroom, and a stretch. And with the plug an charge, it is getting to the point where it can be faster to pump electrons, than to verify your credit card and select your gas type, and then pump gas. Especially when you have to go pay inside. But that’s not the important metric that everyone is concerned about. “How fast can it charge on long haul trips”. The real metric is “how fast can you charge from an extension cord”. With 5 mile / kWh and a 120V 12A draw, you are looking at 7.2 miles per hour of charge. Which means 40 miles of daily driving needs 5.5 hours of daily wall outlet charging. Compare that to the 6.9 hours in a Tesla or the 9.2 hours in the Bolt. I’ve lived in multiple places without charge access and the extension cord is what matters. Whether at a friends house, AirBNB, second story apartment, finding an outlet is easier than finding an EV charger. This also opens up the possibilities of Solar Charging. As 1kW of solar is possible on a vehicle. Lightyear, Sono Motors, Aptera Motors have been plagued by the market not being ready. But with higher efficiency vehicles, that 5.5 hours of outlet charging turns to 5.5 hours of sunlight, vs 9.2 hours of sunlight. We are getting to the point of “perpetual fuel less driving”. Street parking can “charge wirelessly” by passively soaking up sunlight. When stuck in traffic with the AC on, a gasoline car can idle and get stuck. An electric car with solar can see its range increase. When we talk about comparing gasoline to battery electric, the barriers to entry are really “this is different and different is scary”. Because EVs are: -Less cost per mile driven -Less parts that need maintainence -Less flammable than ICE -Better crash test ratings -More cargo space -Faster accelerating -Less material extraction (including fuel) -Can charge at home avoiding going out of your way for fueling. -Can power your house like a generator And now in China they are cheaper in upfront cost, and would be in the US too except for trade tariffs and subsidies. With dynamic wireless charging, 3 minute battery swaps, vehicle to vehicle charging, vehicle integrated solar charging, there really is no technological advantage to ICE (please correct me if you think im wrong in the comments). So if you haven’t tried an EV yet, what’s stopping you?

Marques Brownlee just released a review calling the Lucid Motors Air Sapphire the “Best Performance Sedan Ever Made” but is it possible for an EV to be the best performance sedan ever made? Over the last 14 years, since the original Tesla Roadster program, I have heard that a car isn't a car without the sound of an engine roaring. I actually completely disagree. The sound of an engine is part of the experience but creating theatre is what is really important. As you will see from the review the Sapphire provides plenty of theatre to go along with a perfectly tuned driving experience. Taking this to the next level is why we founded Aetha Motors, using electric powertrain to provide even more theatre than an ICE whilst build a sportscar that lives forever… What do you think? Can the best sedan ever built be an EV? Can an EV offer the same or better driving experience as an ICE? Share your thoughts in the comments section. #EV #Lucid #Motorsports #Automotive

The manufacturing company THOR develops in the following areas: acoustics, hardware and, most importantly, the creation of sounds for gasoline, diesel and electric cars and, in general, all electric transport. Today, THOR presents three of its turnkey products on the market. The first is the THOR Electric Exhaust electronic exhaust system for diesel and gasoline cars, which allows you to recreate the original sounds of powerful engines of various sports cars and even a supersonic aircraft. The second solution is THOR EV - a tuning accessory for electric cars in the form of more powerful acoustics with a set of space SFX sounds and futuristic Scifi sound effects - interesting light sounds characteristic of the transport of the future. And the third solution is THOR AVAS - an acoustic warning system for vehicles with synthesized artificial intelligent sound for electric vehicles. It is designed to improve the safety of electric vehicles and it works on speeds up to 30 km/h. #thortuning #exhaust #loudspeakers #sound #supercars #cars

Beyond my excitement for the Lucid Motors Gravity, this video a rare look at how a vehicle is actually crash tested and why things are designed the way they are. A few notes: 1️⃣ We used to just crash cars straight into a barrier at 35 mph and called it good. But about 0% of real world crashes are you barreling into a solid barrier at 35 mph. In the most recent National Safety Council report, 44% of crash deaths come from angle crashes, like the one the Small Offset crash test is designed to replicate. Example: The driver of an oncoming car glances at his phone, drifts into your lane and collides with just 5% of your front bumper. Or you drift off the side of the road and plow into a telephone pole with just 5% of your front bumper. (If I can get personal for a second, this is the type of crash my wife, Lisa, was in when she was in high school in the late 1980s. She underwent her last surgery to repair the injuries she sustained in 2016.) 2️⃣ THIS -- ALL OF THIS -- is why if you're in any kind of an accident at all, your car gets totaled. Cars from the 1960s didn't deform at all and sent all the crash energy straight into the passenger cabin, and more specifically, straight into the passenger. Vehicles today are designed to collapse to save you. 3️⃣ All of this WORKS, indisputably. In 1967 -- the year Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards were enacted -- we experienced a highway death rate of 5.26 deaths per 100M vehicle miles traveled. In 2022, it was down to 1.35 deaths per 100M miles traveled. Still far too many, but great progress since those days. Even in raw numbers not adjusted for vehicle miles traveled, we experienced about 8,200 fewer highway deaths in 2022 than we did in 1967, despite driving 2.2 TRILLION miles more than we did then. 4️⃣ People seem obsessed about the safety of electric vehicles. "Oh, they catch fire." Except they catch fire at a rate that is orders of magnitude less than cars that roll around with 15 to 24 gallons of flammable liquid in the tank. Raul Arbelaez, VP, Vehicle Research Center at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety / Highway Loss Data Institute said in a post in 2023 that after crash testing EVs continuously since 2011, never once has one caught fire.

Brilliant innovation that puts the most precious cargo first.

Asymmetry and diversity with in symmetrical contexts. Can be a personality, can be a product, can be that thing over here. Aerodynamic efficiency requires symmetrical volumes or surfaces against the flow resistance in order to be achieved. But what about other non-structural elements...would they enhance the character ? #cardesign #cardesigner #industrialdesigner #automotive #cars
