Sandeep Sovani on the evolution of computer-based engineering simulations. Before actually creating any physical prototypes, engineers build a three-dimensional virtual model of a component, and can use computer simulations to test how the design will perform in the real world. Computer-based engineering simulation early in the development process allows them to refine and validate designs… Read more »

VIDEO: Tesla demonstrates Model S battery swap
Tesla’s entire business model is built on succeeding where others have failed, so it was perhaps inevitable that it would make a go of the controversial process of battery swapping. Proponents say swapping eliminates one of the major objections to EVs: long charge times. Skeptics say it’s a complicated and cumbersome way to address an… Read more »
The $1.14 eGallon: a new tool to compare electric vs gas fueling cost
New companies and new products come and go, but it’s not so often that we get to celebrate the birth of a new unit of measurement. The DOE has invented the “eGallon” in order to provide a way to compare the cost of fueling an EV to the cost of filling up a legacy ICE… Read more »
