Did you know that 1 horsepower is the amount of power required to lift 550 pounds to a height of 1 foot in 1 second? Or, did you know that a foot-pound of torque is literally 1 pound of force exerted ...

Back in the early days of electricity, lab workers could measure electric current in a circuit using an ammeter (galvanometer) and voltage using a voltmeter. From there, they could calculate ...

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 ...

There's so much jargon around types of EV charging, sometimes you can feel like you need an engineering degree to understand it all. There can be a lot to keep track of: high voltage electricity, ...

When your car doesn’t start, often a low or dead battery is the culprit. Unfortunately, most vehicle owners do not check their battery until it fails. As preventative maintenance, the suggested best ...

Engineers have consistently predicted that cars would shift from 12-volt electrical systems to 48-volt systems for two decades. But cost and inertia have kept 12-volt electrics in place, with the ...
