James Here! 🙋‍♂️ Welcome to another informative and thought-provoking short from Powerworks Podcast, where we delve into the nitty-gritty of battery technology and the future of EVs! 💡🚘 In this episode, we tread the fascinating path of battery engineering and ponder the role of alternative power engineers who are now front and center in driving environmental change. As Glenn rightly mentions, the landscape of the motor industry has changed drastically over the years, with petrol and diesel engines becoming significantly less polluting than they were a few decades ago. 🌍💨 One big takeaway from this discussion is the importance of the raw materials required for EVs and the consequential environmental impact. Glenn suggests an essential question: "Is it really something that it's worth putting all this engineering mind into?"💡🔧 Another key point from our conversation revolves around the political role in the push for EVs. We discuss how governments and policy-makers can make a difference and highlight potential obstacles and drawbacks. We discuss whether the quest for EVs is our current solution or whether other alternatives, such as hydrogen fuel, might hold more promise.🔬🚗 From the Wankel rotary engine to hydrogen fuel, we explore it all! Listen in to find out more about these intriguing topics and join the conversation. Together, we can navigate the exciting future of power engineering. 🔭🔌 Remember, knowledge is power! ⚡ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podaholiks/message
