Poseidon AmphibWorks Corporation releases to public its latest exterior style for the first of it's vehicle family, Trident LS-1, Version 6 using the patented electric hydrofoil amphibious technology platform. The prototype will most likely look very similar. Optional camping kit concept also shown below. (the actual option will use the tailgate extended fully, the included standard rear marine grade vinyl side windows and closures.) More info at https://lnkd.in/gwxrDkt9 #tridentls1

DENSO heat pumps now in Ford Motor Company Mach-e EV research site Recurrent reported that heat pumps can improve drivable range in below freezing temperatures by about 8 to 10 percent. The site tested this by comparing the ranges of 2020 Model 3 and Model S vehicles that lack heat pumps against 2021 versions that have them.

Wouldn't it be cool, instead of towing Trident 🔱 LS-1 with a Class A RV, as shown below, how about Trident towing Lightship, so users get a boat and car to use at a water adjacent campsite? (Lightship powers itself so range of #Tridentls1 would not be reduced, wow... hmmm ;-) https://lnkd.in/gKaeWQzk

ARE 6-PHASE MOTOR CONTROLLERS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES WORTH THE EXTRA EXPENSE? GOOGLE AI says..... In most cases, a six-phase motor controller is not worth the extra expense compared to a three-phase controller unless you have a very specific application requiring significantly higher torque or smoother power delivery, as the added complexity of a six-phase system often outweighs the marginal performance benefits, making it more expensive to implement and maintain compared to a standard three-phase system. Key points to consider: Increased complexity: Managing six phases instead of three requires more complex control circuitry, increasing the cost of the controller. Limited performance gain: While six-phase motors can offer slightly higher torque and smoother operation, the improvement may not be substantial enough to justify the extra cost in most scenarios. Higher maintenance needs: Due to the added complexity, troubleshooting and servicing a six-phase system can be more challenging. When might a six-phase controller be beneficial? High-performance applications: In scenarios requiring very high torque with minimal torque ripple, like some electric vehicle motors, a six-phase design might be considered. Specialized machinery: Certain industrial machinery with unique power requirements could benefit from a 6-phase system.

Value electric outboard offering Stealth Electric Outboards releases its 144vdc 115HP electric outboard which is now shipping. 115 peak horsepower, 70 continuous horsepower, $13,699. PDFs https://lnkd.in/gMUfVxyh https://lnkd.in/g8jPKvir

BMW did not have enough vision with its I3 even with the latest model. Even sport model is too slow and not enough BEV range due to non-science over regulated California BEVx classification. BMW should consider another version as a TZEV with less range restrictions. #evrex It's range extender is a 65hp peak BMW (really Kymco built, BMW engineered) c650 scooter engine de-rated to 35hp, really not enough continuous power, however packaging wise, it's going in the right direction ... now companies like Hyundai and Kia need to optimize the solution for more useful and justifiable REXs. https://lnkd.in/gGvDr2an

CATL's New Chassis Is made Of "amazing materials", according to CATL, and that their chassis passed the "highest speed + strongest impact" dual extreme safety test. According to CATL, the Bedrock Chassis sets new benchmarks for EV safety by incorporating cutting-edge technologies and materials. CATL uses submarine-grade hot-formed steel, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, and multiple barrier structures to build the chassis. The overall chassis design integrates the battery pack within a "three-dimensional biomimetic tortoise shell structure," mimicking nature's own protective shell. The structure is further fortified with a "high-ductility energy-absorbing insulation film" that dissipates impact forces. Dubbed the "Bedrock Chassis," the innovative platform went through rigorous testing, including a 120 km/h (75 mph) frontal collision with a pole, and survived without any sign of thermal runaway, fire, or explosion. You can watch the crash test in a video embedded at the bottom of this article. #electricvehicles #evs https://lnkd.in/g6MZ9qGt

Switching to 48vdc, why not? For now, to make up for lagging 48v accessory and lighting supply chain, put low power/cost 48v-12v DC-DC converters right near the "edge" to connect to 12v legacy components. https://lnkd.in/gea5dW9Q #48vdc

DEFENSE SOLUTIONS AT LOWEST COSTS: This is the lowest cost solution to deliver payloads at safe standoff distances - Great job Chip Yates and Yates Electrospace Corporation team! This solution could have been quite a savior in the Marcus Luttrell story - "challenging contested logistics" - a retired Navy SEAL who was the single survivor of a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan in 2005. The other members of his mission, Operation Red Wings, were killed during the attack, and Luttrell was severely wounded. These guys were cut off from getting any supplies and the only way was using very high risk minimal standoff parachute operations.
