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!

[Edit: Nikki here. It's Tuesday, and we're sorry this is late. It was scheduled to go out while I was traveling to a press event, and something went wrong - let's blame me!]

It's the middle of August - and that means that many people are getting ready to send their children back to school.

But exactly how are you getting your kids to and from school - or how did you travel to and from school?

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!
