We were asked by y'all to give some more depth on the recent study that came out examining the comparative performance of monocrystalline and polycrystalline battery cells. So Kate sat down for a while with the paper, digested the details and is now able to bring you the highlights to why the future may well be monocrystalline batteries.

00:00 - Introduction 01:20 - Background to the paper and team 02:16 - Quick and dirty intro to mono and polycrystalline cells 05:35 - Advantages and disadvantages of each type 09:25 - Why were they looking at these cells, and what did they find? 12:33 - How did this study differ and how did they examine the cells? 16:34 - Talking through the biggest bits of this study's findings 22:17 - Thanks and Credits

There's a bit of a battle raging in the electric vehicle world - and it's not over NACS and CCS - it's about which battery technology should be the dominant one: 400 Volt or 800 Volt?

But what's the differences between 400 V and 800 V vehicles? Which are which? And are there any advantages or disadvantages in the ultimate choice you make?

Nikki is here to explain some things... along with a little extra help.

00:00 - Introduction 02:15 - Editorial note 03:12 - History - 400 and 800. 07:01 - A quick physics lesson 08:28 - Pipes to cables 12:23 - If 800 Volt is better... why aren't people using it? 17:12 - Which should you use? 19:30 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

Earlier this year, we received a set of Nokian Remedy WRG5 all-weather tires on long-term review. Designed to accommodate a wide range of different weather conditions the nickname of these tires "The Remedy" comes from the need of many drivers in urban and suburban areas to have one set of tires that can be used all year - but have enough winter prowess to travel where traditional all-season tires can't.

With deep winter sipes for snow traction, a three-peak snowflake symbol and EV-friendly design, we had to test these out. But after four months and the peak of summer heat, how are these winter-friendly tires faring?

It's time for a rotation - and a check in.

Watch our original video introducing the tires here: https://youtu.be/kpI56jMdqFg 

Note: Nokian provided us with these tires free of charge to enable us to bring you this first-person, long-term report. Transport Evolved paid for fitting, balancing, and ongoing care.

00:00 - Introduction

02:24 - We've liked Nokians for a long time

02:52 - Tread depth after 4 months

04:38 - Summer driving impressions

08:04 - EV power transmission

09:44 - They aren't the cheapest

11:36 - Ice performance - not yet!

13:16 - Road noise

14:38 - Country roads - Twisties

18:33 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

Earlier this year, we got the chance to test BMW's all-new i5 M60, the latest all-electric BMW to enter the German Automaker's Stable.

We loved how it handled. We loved its on-board tech, and we were thoroughly impressed.

Today, we're driving its sibling, the BMW i4 M50, a car that on paper gives the Tesla Model 3 Performance a run for its money.

Having driven the entry-level BMW i4 last year, we weren't all that impressed with the car's capabilities, but could some extra horsepower and a race-inspired suspension help change our minds?

In a word yes - but the BMW i4 M50, while an incredible car, isn't best suited on the public highway - it's one built for the Nurburgring. Here's Why.

00:00 - Introduction 04:58 - Driving on smooth, open roads 06:21 - Customizable 07:11 - Less aggressive driving options, regenerative braking 09:12 - Range 11:57 - Recharging Times 13:28 - Packages 15:07 - Comfort 17:10 - Twisties 26:16 - Conclusion 32:12 - Thanks and goodbye!

Hot on the heels of the extraordinarily short-sighted ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on what powers the EPA has to regulate, we've got a follow up story involving emissions and GM.

Not only has GM just been found guilty of overstating its fuel economy and understating its vehicles tailpipe emissions, but the fines for doing so... aren't all that large.

Let's dig in, and ask what we can do about it moving forward.

00:00 - Introduction 02:18 - The EPA and NHTSA's rules are important 03:49 - What happened 04:59 - Why? - And How common is the Problem? 05:46 - GM's Fines 06:15 - "Permission To Pollute" 07:06 - Credits have benefited Tesla and other Ev companies, but... 07:41 - GM earns credits for EVs 08:32 - Does buying Legacy Automaker Evs support this? 09:15 - Even EV-only brands help perpetuate pollution through selling credits 09:49 - The fines are laughable 11:32 - Current regulations don't work 13:43 - Rulemaking allows for vagueness 14:19 - How We Fix This 15:40 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

In the last few months, we've seen automakers backtrack on some of their commitments to electric vehicles - and we've already seen a rise in anti-EV rhetoric from certain political spheres.

Combine this with the announcement last year that automakers were switching from CCS Type 1 to NACS in the U.S., and you might be having second thoughts about buying an EV.

But should you wait - or buy now? We're about to try and explore that question.

00:00 - Introduction 01:44 - People are feeling the pinch 04:38 - Do you really need a new car? 06:48 - Do you actually need a car at all? 07:48 - Work from home = Less car need? 08:48 - e-Bikes instead of electric cars? 10:25 - Wait or buy now? - It depends on your situation 11:20 - The benefits of going used first 12:05 - Waiting for NACS or Not? 13:28 - A note about charging 17:37 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

It's time for another update from our Vectrix VX-1 - a scooter we first purchased at the tail end of 2023.

After plenty of heavy rain, heavy snow, and a few ice storms, the cover's back off on Hemmer. But when Nikki tried turning her two-wheel steed on, bad stuff started to happen.

Here's what we THINK has happened, and what's next.

Telsa's started the roll out of FSD V12. Comma.ai has continued its push for towards self-driving, and Cruise? Well, Cruise has had a bit of a rough month. First there was the collision with a pedestrian, and then there was the report into that collision in which Cruise didn't come up smelling of roses.

So the question is, are we ready for autonomous vehicles, and are they really safer?

00:00 - Introduction 01:05 - What does the future hold? 02:00 - How did we get to end-to-end neural networks 05:19 - The perceived safety benefit 08:04 - Why now? 10:31 - Skip the injury discussion 11:31 - The regulatory mess 13:06 - Conclusions 15:58 - Thanks and Credits

Last year, Hyundai Motors Group (Hyundai-Kia-Genesis) vehicle sales combined placed the group in second place in North America for sales, beating both the electric vehicle sales figures from Ford and General Motors.

Yet unlike Ford, GM, and Tesla, which made and sold some vehicles that were eligible for U.S. Federal Tax Credits Hyundai Motors Group vehicles were ineligible for tax credits. So why did they sell so well?

We have some very good ideas as to why.

Elon Musk has done a lot for Tesla over the years - and he's been instrumental in many of the company's biggest products and decisions.

But on Monday this week, Musk appeared to make a thinly veiled threat to Tesla, its board of Directors and shareholders: Give him more controlling vote in the company, or risk losing AI development.

But with Elon Musk's support at Tesla still seemingly strong, what's really going on? What could explain the demand? And what's going to happen?

00:00 - Introduction 04:06 - Editorial note 04:56 - Discussion online 05:22 - Sidenote: Elon Musk's 2018 Pay deal 06:45 - Elon Musk weighs in 08:04 - The impact of Elon's threat 10:04 - Steve Jobs and Elon Musk 12:00 - Calling Nikki out as a hyprocryte (rightly) 13:50 - So, what's REALLY going on? 15:44 - Elon Musk, X, and his political shift 16:36 - Elon's reality distortion field 18:06 - The mythology of Musk 18:53 - With unwarvering support, why worry? 20:18 - Does he STILL have support? 21:19 - ...Or is it money? 21:50 - ...Or is it just protecting Tesla? 23:12 - Nikki's take 25:43 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

We're often asked which charging stations new EV owners should buy - and we've got a pretty good list of charging stations we're fans of.

The JuiceBox Charging stations used to be at the top of our list, thanks to their open-sourced origins, their ability to integrate with home automation systems, and their adaptability.

But for the past year or so, the product we once loved has become little more than a nightmare - and we're now planning on how we replace or re-engineer them.

00:00 - Start 02:23 - We LOVE Open Source! 04:47 - The history of eMotorWerks and the JuiceBox Charging Stations 06:57 - The draw of a smartphone app and power sharing 08:27 - Our personal experience with JuiceNet (and eMotorWerks/EnelX) 09:53 - How we made it smarter 10:22 - Things started to go wrong... 14:20 - It gets worse 16:08 - Smart becomes stupid 18:04 - What we plan to do to fix things... 20:57 - Thanks and Goodbye!

It's the second week of the year, and we've had our first real snow - and with temperatures dropping like a stone, we're hopeful that our truck behaves soon. (edit: it did!)

Chicken and Garden Updates are informal vlog-style videos from some of the team behind Transport Evolved. They are non-scripted.

This week, during CES 2024, Volkswagen confirmed that it would be bringing ChatGPT integration into its in-car voice assistant for MEB-based EVs and some of its newer internal combustion engine models.

But is Chat GPT really a good idea for a car? Is it needed? Is it just another way to make money through SAAS (Software As A Service?) And can AI be used by automakers in a more productive and beneficial way for everyone?

We have many thoughts...

00:00 - Introduction - SciFi and our hopes for AI. 02:52 - The Rise of Chat GPT 04:50 - Previous automakers attempts at voice recognition 06:54 - The reasons for including Chat GPT in cars 09:17 - Tackling distracted driving? 10:55 - AI as an excuse for poor vehicle HMI? 11:29 - The need for AI? 13:56 - The cynicism of AI 14:45 - The ulterior motive 15:47 - The need for always-on-Internet 17:01 - Privacy concerns 19:00 - AI voice assistants are overkill in cars - we have other priorities that are more important 20:13 - Science Fiction vs Science Fact 21:53 - Thanks, and Goodbye!
