Electric vehicle Technology

0–100 in 2 seconds… And still no heartbeat? This is why Lamborghini stepped back from its EV plans. Let's dig in further! I came across Lamborghini’s decision— and it changed how I see EVs. “Lamborghini planned its electric supercar”… And then paused. Not because EVs don’t work— but because their customers want something else. This case taught me something important About customer psychology In supercars, specs sell headlines— But emotion sells decisions Supercar buyers

₹5,00,000 vs ₹780 service cost "Replace first. Diagnose later" This dangerous EV service trend will hurt EV buying decisions. Let's break it down. I recently came across a Kona EV case. Reported by Selvakumar D from Tamil Nadu. The vehicle had a strange running noise. People call it “wheel of fortune” issue. It is a clicking motor noise. I have seen this in many EVs. Noise increases with vehicle speed. In most cases, it is bearing wear. A bearing supports the rotating shaft

Everyone is focused on EV launches. Almost no one is talking about- What actually decides the winners. Lately, I’ve been noticing a Silent shift in the EV space. From “launching vehicles.” to “building platforms.” Yes, you read it right The real game is happening At the system level. The focus is moving toward Scalable motor architectures, software-defined control, and data-driven improvements. Early architecture decisions Don’t just define performance— They define co

Today’s drone expo surprised me. Now I am confident that India’s drone stack is evolving faster than expected. I saw strong system-level integration thinking. Motors, ESCs, and flight controllers aligned well. Lightweight composites improved thrust efficiency significantly. Battery systems focused on energy density gains. Supply chain depth is clearly improving. Use cases are expanding across sectors. Agriculture spraying is becoming data-driven. Defence drones show autonomou

I saw a 40-year Royal Enfield in my village. Still maintained by its proud owner. That time, I wondered how brands create such emotion. This podcast answered me all. MD and CEO of Royal Enfield, Mr. B. Govindarajan shared the story beautifully on this insightful podcast. My key takeaways shared below. Don't miss out. • How did RE build customer emotion? • How did production grow massively from 2000no motor cycles per day 1950 till 4500 production per day, today? • How did R

I just saw a motor using 0.025 mm steel That’s 10x thinner than usual. Can push motor efficiency to 98.2%. Horse Powertrain unveiled a new motor technology. It uses ultra-thin amorphous steel layers. Amorphous steel lacks a crystal structure. So magnetic losses reduce significantly. The stator is the motor’s stationary core. Magnetic fields rotate inside this structure. Traditional steel sheets are much thicker. This design uses just 0.025 mm sheets. Iron loss means waste

My last post showed strong e-bus growth with 4.5% penetration. But reality hits with 100 breakdowns daily. In my last post, we discussed e-bus growth. Penetration reached 4.5% in FY26. Last year, it was 3.5%. Volumes crossed 4,100 units now. But Bengaluru shows a different story entirely. BMTC runs 1,730 e-buses today. They saw 100 breakdowns daily. Total breakdowns touched 8,995 cases. 65% were battery-related failures. High load increases current demand. Traffic cau

I see a silent shift in heavy EVs. Logistics machines moving to 800V systems. Think of a port tractor pulling containers daily. Now imagine it running on this HV architecture. Bosch's 800V drive platform. Targeting forklifts and terminal tractors. Voltage defines an electrical potential difference. Higher voltage lowers current for the same power. Lower current reduces I²R copper losses. ⚡ System uses SMG230 motor architecture. Inverter uses silicon carbide MOSFET module

Nobody explains this about EV motors. The biggest innovations are hidden inside the stator. Many EV innovations are visible. Bigger batteries. Faster charging. But motor innovation is often invisible to most users. 🧲 Slot design. Copper layout. Cooling paths. Small changes inside the motor create big efficiency gains. Even 1–2% efficiency gain here directly improves vehicle range. What matters more in EV motors: magnets, copper design, or cooling? ⚡ Let's discuss. 🔔 Follow

I thought it is worth sharing. This industry is quietly emerging. Here is how their ecosyste

I used to focus on magnets more than windings. Hairpin designs changed how I see motor performance. Let’s break down U/I/X/Trim cut winding. As a motor designer, I often face design trade-offs. In one case, we needed higher torque. But the motor volume could not increase. The stator slots were already full. Round wire windings limited copper utilization. Increasing current created new problems. Copper losses increased very quickly. Thermal limits appeared in simulations

One moment. One decision. A life saved. Even in smoke, the system saw clearly. This is why autonomous tech matters. This video is exciting to watch. Despite smoky conditions, Tesla self driving car avoided an accident. Video source: Reddit. It reacted in seconds. A life saved. Elon Musk says it saves lives. Not perfect, but clearly improving. Even small failures get blamed. I agree with this. Safety still needs to be improved My view: Safety must reach above six sigma.

After working with PMSM and BLDC motors, I see this clearly— PCB stators in axial-flux designs may redefine torque density and cooling. Electric motors account for over 50% of global electricity consumption. That’s right — from cars 🚗 to HVAC systems 🌬️, they’re everywhere. So every gram, watt, and degree of efficiency matters. 🧠 Let’s understand a breakthrough that’s reshaping motor design — The Axial-Flux Motor with a PCB Stator. 🔍 What’s inside a motor? Every motor has

I was studying aerospace powertrains recently. Electric propulsion feels closer than ever. ZeroAvia’s 600kW engine proves it’s real. FAA cleared ZeroAvia’s 600kW electric engine system. Motor is a direct-drive, 2200 rpm shaft. Direct-drive means no gearbox losses. Controller: manages speed and torque precisely. Inverter: converts DC to AC power.
