This thread is for technical discussion of electric vehicles. This includes motors, batteries, charging, battery storage (if related to vehicles), production methods and materials, and any tech that goes into EVs like inverters. Also self driving*, and humanoid robotics IF they are being used in some way for EV assembly/production. General discussion of humanoid robotics should not take place for the most part since this is an automotive forum. Not sure about discussing technologies like Grok even though it will be implemented in cars, in theory this should fall under discussing infotainment.

NOT a thread to discuss business aspects for that go here and here. If there is talk about CEOs, any politics, stock prices, business relationships or anything about general business I will ask to have this thread closed.

*if things go off the rails like it has in the past discussion self driving I will also ask to have this thread closed.

 

This is a pretty car don't understand why it's not a Volvo. That aside, a technical and overall look at the interior.

 

Thanks for starting this thread. I've always been fascinated by the engineering that has gone into ICE engines, on that same note, I'm also fascinated by the simplicity of electric motors. It took time for me to wrap my head around the fact that I'm driving a vehicle powered by batteries and bigger versions of motors that powered RC cars I played with as a kid. Look forward to discussions on this

 

We've come full circle, battery electric cars go all the way back to the 1830's. Moon rovers were electric. Here's an interesting read.

It is quite the thing how long it took to make battery cells viable enough to power a mass production vehicle. Panasonic deserves much of the credit they came up with a cell that could be recharged many times without loss of capacity.

 

I really enjoyed this series. I've spent way way way too much time watching Munro's videos.

 

They just did a video on the P3
sorry just noticed it was posted

This looks nice. ES90
I had a Volvo S90 T8...very nice car

 

Cybercab is not "painted" instead polyurethane paint is injected. But what is the panel made of?

 

Gotta be some sort of resin

 

Interesting, never heard of this before.🛸

 

If so not a fan, impossible to recycle gives a bad vibe for a company that is about sustainability.

 

LG will soon be making 4680 cells

 

I'm really interested in this topic. I'm currently looking for a 96V electric vehicle battery.

 

Do you have any recommendations for suppliers of 96V EV lithium batteries?

 

What for?

If it's a long story, a new thread might be fun.
