EV Safety — Engineering for a Safer Electric Future
EV adoption is accelerating worldwide, driven by cleaner transportation, lower operating costs, and cutting-edge technology. Yet, alongside this momentum comes a critical industry focus: EV safety innovations. Safety in electric vehicles encompasses more than just crashworthiness — it spans battery integrity, high-voltage systems, software safeguards, and occupant protection. Automakers, suppliers, and regulators are innovating rapidly […]
Smart Modular Electric RVs — Grounded G3 Teardown Insights
Smart Modular Electric RVs aren’t just a lifestyle trend — they’re a compact case study in systems engineering, cost control, and manufacturability. Grounded’s latest G3 platform showcases how modular cabinetry, a 48-volt house system, and a software layer can turn a delivery van into either an RV or a revenue-generating mobile clinic. As Munro & […]
The Future of EV Range — Engineering Beyond Limits
One of the most discussed aspects of electric vehicle adoption is range — how far an EV can travel on a single charge. Early electric cars struggled to exceed 100 miles, which reinforced skepticism about their practicality. Today, premium EVs push past 500 miles under optimal conditions, yet range anxiety still lingers. Long-haul drivers, rural […]
Off‑Grid EV Charging for Fleets — Volt Vault
Fleet electrification runs headlong into a bottleneck — reliable charging power where vehicles actually park. Grid upgrades drag on for months or years. Meanwhile, fleets need solutions today. Off grid EV charging answers that need by bringing power generation to the lot itself. Volt Vault, developed by US Energy and highlighted in a recent Munro […]
The State of EV Charging Units: A Look at Today’s Infrastructure
Electric vehicles are winning the market share race, but their charging units remain the underappreciated, under-engineered, and underperforming weak link in the transition. Walk into a public charging lot in North America and you’ll see the same thing — rows of hardware meant to be the gas pump of the future, too often sitting idle […]
Beyond Generation: Solar and Wind Energy Storage Today
The transition to renewable power rests on more than turbines and panels. Solar and wind energy storage is the make-or-break element — the hinge between promise and delivery. Photovoltaic cells and wind blades may dominate headlines, but storage decides whether a grid stays stable or falters when clouds roll in and breezes stall. At Munro […]
