In this thrilling MotorTrend podcast episode, the hosts kick things off by proudly announcing their new sponsor, Nissan Arya. But hold on a minute, they're not just here to talk about electric cars and giveaways - they're diving deep into the future of charging standards. A viewer question sparks a fiery discussion about the shift towards Tesla's North American Charging Standard, leaving traditional CCS plugs in the dust. Ford and GM are jumping on the bandwagon, joining forces with other manufacturers to challenge Tesla's charging supremacy. It's like a high-stakes game of VHS versus Betamax, but with electric cars.
The excitement doesn't stop there - the hosts take us on a wild ride through their recent escapades at CES, where they rubbed shoulders with experts in the electric vehicle and battery realm. Enter Fabrizio Martini, a man with a name straight out of a Pixar movie villain. But this guy is no antagonist - he's a real-life hero working on a NASA project exploring Venus with an electric rover. Martini spills the beans on his background in battery technology and the cutting-edge predictive analytics software his company, Electro Vehicles, is cooking up. With machine learning and AI at the helm, they can predict battery failures three months in advance - it's like having a crystal ball for your car's power source.
But wait, there's more! Martini unveils the secret sauce behind their software - a brain for batteries, combining physics-based and data-driven models to create a digital twin of the battery in the cloud. It's like having a virtual doppelganger of your car's power pack, monitoring its every move and predicting potential meltdowns. With over 130 data inputs, including driving habits, environmental factors, and charging patterns, this software is a game-changer in the world of electric vehicles. So buckle up, folks, because the future of mobility is looking electrifying, and MotorTrend is leading the charge into uncharted territory.
