There’s almost never been a vehicle that’s been constructed completely in-house. 

What slows down – or even outright stops – production at any manufacturing operations? 

For nearly three years, the global supply chain for practically anything has left a lot to be desired. 

Ask any manufacturer in any industry what issue has been one of the biggest challenges since 2020 and most will say the same thing: supply chain management. 

Think about your first car.

Not too long ago, there were two front-runners in the race for an alternate fuel source for vehicles: hydrogen and electricity. 

During the last 30 years, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the dominant rechargeable battery technology, offering excellent power density and long service lives. Just look to every major auto manufacturer – in the last two years alone, most have started a major shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) powered by Li-ion battery technology and are phasing out cars and trucks with internal combustion engines. 

In designing electric vehicles (EVs), efficiency is key. 

When winter storms left hundreds of drivers stranded and stuck on I-95 in Virginia for hours, some people questioned what would have happened if the cars were electric vehicles (EV) given EV batteries' susceptibility to temperature extremes.
