There’s a game-changing material coming to EV motors—one that’s been around for decades but was impossible to use for windings… until now.
Carbon nanotubes are here, and they might just replace copper forever!
Alternative energy is a "young" technology - significant improvements are entering large-scale production constantly. The result is plunging costs and skyrocketing performance. Batteries are getting several different new chemistries, depending on the characteristics required, including the rapid exclusion of ecologically unsound components. Motors are shrinking in size and weight, while gaining power. Overall drive-train improvements are measured in successive tens of percent.
The last significant improvement to ICE was variable cam timing, in the 1980s and 1990s, for about ten percent all-in.
