Japanese tech company announces discovery that could change the future of EVs: 'This proof of concept is a technological breakthrough'

The last several months have been messy for the electric vehicle industry, to put it mildly. Major players like General Motors, Ford and Mercedes-Benz are pumping the brakes on their electrification efforts, citing uneven and unpredictable consumer demand. Many drivers remain hesitant to go electric because they’re worried about a lack of charging stations and insufficient range.

The Facts Are In: It’s Not Looking Good For Internal Combustion

While it's been said in the past, this year has been one of the best years when it comes to the automotive industry. With some highly anticipated vehicles released in 2024 and others getting some major upgrades, it raises interest in how these cars drive from an in-person perspective. The good news is that some of the journalists at TopSpeed had their hands full while reviewing some of the best electric and hybrid vehicles that are out this year.

Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru recently announced that they're joining forces to develop next-generation combustion engines. However, another Japanese automaker has taken a radically different approach by deciding to stop investing in gasoline and diesel power altogether. Nissan says it's pretty much done spending cash on new ICE technology. Australian magazine...

Nissan Has Stopped Spending Money on New Gas Engines

The U.S. new car market is currently struggling with affordable electric cars. Despite strong backing from manufacturers and comprehensive government incentives, these eco-friendly all-electric options are struggling to find their footing because of how much more expensive they are compared to efficient ICE options. We can also argue that a lack of electric car familiarity among consumers is an issue, but when looking at their substantial MSRPs, it's hard to deny that affordability is the primary issue.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

An electric vehicle’s largest, most important and most expensive component is its high-voltage battery pack. Many newer bespoke EVs are built around their battery pack, and some have even incorporated it as an integral part of their chassis structure. The battery pack must store the vast amounts of electricity required by an EV, not only to provide enough power for daily driving but also to ensure a sufficient range to minimize the owners' charging anxiety.
