Smart 451ED Valhala 2 project – 22kWh battery pack

By Strom Trooper

Smart 451ED with 22 kWh and almost 200 km range – Valhalla Project #2 Where Mercedes gave up, we continued – by developing a brand-new battery system built from recycled LG Chem E63 modules sourced from the electric Twingo, while retaining the original thermal management and BMS safety system. Our first pack passed 8 month…

Volvo Hybrid XC60 ERAD Disaster

By Strom Trooper

After the first case, detailed analysis, and insider information, we have learned that the ERAD – a hybrid electric motor with a rear-axle differential, separated from the fossil drivetrain – is one of Volvo’s biggest failures that was never subject to a recall despite a serial defect. The safety risk is serious, as it can…

SOLARI SE ISPLATE? Koliko traje amortizacija?

By Strom Trooper

Ovisi o dosta faktora, ali… Nakon pet godina korištenja vrlo specifične “powerbank off-grid UPS elektrane”, gdje HEP-ov priključak od 18 kW služi isključivo kao galvanski odvojen agregat za zimske periode i povremene dopune, može se povući jasna crta. Iako je ovo najskuplja izvedba takvog sustava, ujedno je i možda najbolji primjer gdje second-life baterije dobivaju…

VW eGolf – fix it for €1,500 instead of paying €38,000!

By Strom Trooper

We expected Volkswagen to turn this electric version into a total disaster (an “eDamn,” if you will),but the eGolf has actually proven to be remarkably reliable – much like the classic Golf used to be.Even though the EV drivetrain was essentially bolted onto an existing fossil-fuel chassis, back then VW didn’t have time to engineer…

Dizelska mitologija vs. EV realnost

By Strom Trooper

Ovo smo planirali napisati već dugo, jer su internetski trollovi i ono što se bez pretjerivanja može nazvati dizelskim terorizmom postali nepodnošljivi. Svaka rasprava o električnim vozilima završava istim izlizanim sloganima: EV-i su skuplji, baterije su neisplative, sve je lošije nego kod “pravog” fosilnog automobila, “gubiš slobodu” i slično. Problem je u tome što se…

Diesel Mythology vs. EV Reality

By Strom Trooper

We’ve been planning to write this for a long time, because online trolls and what can only be described as diesel terrorism have become unbearable. Every discussion about electric vehicles ends with the same worn-out slogans: EVs are more expensive, batteries are unaffordable, everything is worse than a “real” fossil-fuel car, “you lose freedom,” and…
