Electric vehicles have matured from engineering curiosities to industrial benchmarks, but the architecture that powers them remains burdened by fundamental limitations. Despite advances in lithium-ion chemistry, the Achilles’ heel of modern EVs is still the battery itself. Charging times lag…
There has yet to be a link established between country’s transportation system, which is dominated by automobiles and their manufacturers, and the country’s transition to renewable energy sources. The development of electric and self-driving vehicles, the change of cities, freight and passenger transportation, as well as the fate of automobile manufacturers, are all covered under the ENERGY NEWS program “Mobility.”
The Anatomy of Self-Powered Vehicles: Integrating Atomic-Level Energy Harvesting into Automotive Design
In the evolution of automotive engineering, the focus has long oscillated between performance, aerodynamics, weight optimization, and propulsion technology. Yet, a new design imperative is taking shape—vehicles that do not merely consume energy but autonomously generate it. This is not…
The End of the Plug: What Happens When Charging Infrastructure Becomes Obsolete?
Across global metropolises, the race to install charging infrastructure has taken on a nearly architectural urgency. Charging stations are cropping up in city centers, on highways, and even inside residential complexes—designed to service a future dominated by electric mobility. But…
What If EVs Never Needed to Stop? The Future of Energy on Wheels
A World Stalled by Charging Stations Electric mobility has been hailed as the future of transportation, but its progress is throttled by an unavoidable bottleneck: charging. Long waits at charging stations, range anxiety, and battery degradation have left EV owners…
The Pi Car: Your Personal Passport to an Infinite Power Highway
Imagine a world where the hum of innovation accompanies every mile traveled, where the concept of “charging” belongs to history books, and where vehicles are powered not by fossil fuels or fleeting sunlight but by the infinite, invisible forces of…
The End of Charging Stations: Neutrinovoltaic Power for Electric Vehicles
The hum of the future is not the mechanical roar of internal combustion engines nor the artificial silence of lithium-ion powered electric vehicles. Instead, it is the ceaseless, silent energy flow of the universe itself, harnessed and channeled into motion.…
Pi Car – Reinventing Electric Vehicles with Self-Charging Capabilities
Mobility has long been a symbol of freedom, and the electric vehicle revolution offers a compelling vision of a cleaner, more sustainable future. Yet, for many consumers, the experience of owning an EV remains a delicate balance between aspiration and…
Germany’s Auto Industry at a Crossroads: Can Innovation Save the Day?
Once a beacon of engineering prowess and economic strength, Germany's automotive industry now finds itself at a critical juncture. Declining sales, eroding profits, and widespread layoffs have left this cornerstone of the German economy in a precarious position. The shift…
Beyond the Plug: Redefining EV Charging Efficiency with the Pi Car
Imagine this: after a long day, you plug in your electric vehicle (EV), expecting it to be fully charged by morning. Yet, for every kilowatt-hour paid, 10–25% of that energy dissipates as heat or due to inefficiencies in transmission. These…
Neutrino Energy: Redefining Electric Vehicles with the Self-Charging Pi Car
Imagine a world where fueling your vehicle is not just an act of convenience but also a significant cost-saving measure. In Germany, this vision is becoming a reality. Charging an electric vehicle (EV) at home costs drivers just half the…
