Seems that a journalist got sucked in by marketing hype.
I had expected better of the IEEE.
Actually, now that I look at other articles from IEEE Spectrum, most of them seem full of uncorrobrated and unwarrented hype.
- heisenbit 5y agoThe innovation here is not pure concept but having designed a product with 95% efficiency and low cost, low pollution components. As one of the major automotive part suppliers Mahle presumably has developed that with some consultation to the closely located Porsche and Mercedes engineers and has the manufacturing capabilities to scale this up. This does not seem to be a toy effort and the newsworthy bit is that the broader automotive supply chain seems to be seriously pivoting away from ICE new.
