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…

Project Gemini – Making KIA Soul EV immortal from SK 28kWh to Panasonic 35.3 kWh battery

Project Gemini – Making KIA Soul EV immortal from SK 28kWh to Panasonic 35.3 kWh battery The first-generation KIA Soul EV (2015) was KIA’s first mass-produced electric vehicle – well built, high quality, and generously equipped. However, it suffers from one serious and widely known flaw: catastrophically poor SK Innovation pouch-cell chemistry. The battery uses…

2021 > PHEV BMW iBMUCP 21F37E Post-Crash Recovery — When EU engineering becomes a synonym for “unrepairable” + “generating waste”.

By Strom Trooper

2021 > PHEV BMW iBMUCP PHEV Post-Crash Recovery — When EU engineering becomes a synonym for “unrepairable” + “generating waste”. If you own a BMW PHEV — or if you’re an insurance company — every pothole, every curb impact, small or large incideng and even any rabbit jumping out of a bush represents a potential…

Made-in-China battery packs are bad!

By Strom Trooper

Media hype around “Made in China” battery systems being the “best” has never been confirmed in real-world practice. We are raising serious concerns about Tesla Model 3/Y LG NCM811 battery packs (LGES Nanjing), which show extremely high failure rates and a noticeably shorter end-of-life compared with Panasonic NCA packs (Made in USA). In over 90%…

Tesla LDU “coolant delete” fatal failures

By Strom Trooper

2 units in one week (Austria & Slovenia) – Both units failed shortly after being “repaired” using a coolant-delete workaround. This is exactly the reason why we never adopted that method in the last 4 years. Instead, we developed a complete, engineering-grade repair process and the LDU Holy Grail e-Drive KIT, which has proven itself…
