What Europe can learn from China about controlling the growing mass of EVs
Electric vehicles are significantly heavier than the internal combustion engine (ICE) cars they are replacing, and vehicle mass has climbed by more than 25% over the last decade. Balancing added weight, with rising consumer expectations for ride comfort and refinement, is driving demand for more sophisticated suspension technologies. In China, semi-active suspension is being rolled out at scale, even on midmarket EVs. In Europe, the pressure to hit aggressive price points has largely confined th...
Axial flux motors will achieve price parity with radial flux motors in the future: Rory Brogan, founder and CEO, Torev Motors
With early industry recognition, innovative wound-rotor designs, and a clear commercial roadmap targeting 2029 deployments, Torev is positioned to reshape electric motor technology while anticipating trends like modularity and smarter controllers. The following are edited excerpts. S&P Global Mobility: Tell us about the genesis of Torev Motors; how did it come into being? How did you select axial flux motors? Was the focus always on rare earth free axial flux motors or did you pivot to th...
Charging ahead, unevenly
The electrification of transport is no longer constrained by vehicles but by the systems that support them. As electric cars and trucks proliferate, attention has shifted to the charging networks that must underpin mass adoption. What was once a question of rollout is now becoming one of performance: reliability, interoperability and economics are emerging as the industry’s defining challenges. Public charging, in particular, remains uneven. Drivers encounter incompatible systems, inconsist...
We have solved the technical limitations associated with switched reluctance motors: Ali Emadi, founder and CEO, Enedym Inc.
Enedym’s switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are expected to not only reduce the dependence on rare earth metals, currently used in a majority of propulsion e-motors produced worldwide, but also significantly reduce the cost of development and production of e-motors in general. Enedym is tackling one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: reducing reliance on rare earth elements (REEs), which are costly, environmentally taxing, and largely sourced from [mainland] China. Dr. Emadi expl...
Software-defined vehicles and multi-cycle leasing: From OTA refresh to modular vehicle renewal
The automotive industry’s shift towards a more sustainable approach is driving the growth of multi-cycle usage models. As automakers aim to capitalize on technological innovation and changing customer usage, these strategies extend the life of vehicles, components and materials through repair, repurposing, and refurbishment.  In traditional automotive cycles, vehicles are manufactured for a single owner, before eventually being scrapped, with limited opportunities to recycle materials....
Plugged in, switched off
For much of the past decade, the electric-vehicle industry measured progress in plugs. Governments set targets for charger numbers; companies raced to install ever-faster hardware; maps filled with reassuring clusters of pins. The logic was straightforward: Build enough infrastructure and adoption would follow. By 2025 that premise had begun to fray. In many developed markets, chargers are no longer scarce. Yet drivers still report failed sessions, opaque pricing and unreliable equipment. The...
