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…

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

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…

By Strom Trooper

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…

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%…
