How Solar Power Cars Work: Exploring Solar Electronics
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/how-solar-power-cars-work-exploring-solar-electronics
The transport sector in Europe remains one of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gases such as CO2 and nitrogen oxides (aka NOx) from the exhaust pipes of vehicles. Thankfully, engineers are working on eco-friendly automotive solutions—and an exciting example of them are solar-powered vehicles.

Modern cars and trucks have become increasingly connected with a broad range of features for infotainment, driver-assistance, telematics, and control.
How Standardising Computing Platforms Could Accelerate the Delivery of Autonomous Vehicles at Scale
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/how-standardising-computing-platforms-could-accelerate-the-delivery-of-autonomous-vehicles-at-scale
Self-driving cars must control themselves, perceive their environment and make decisions. Many of the prototypes are in fact able to achieve such functionalities, but still, autonomous vehicles for consumers are still a long way from mass production. To deliver what is needed, standardised, autonomous computing solutions, alongside industry collaboration, is vital.
Is Vehicle-to-Grid Technology Sustainable?
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/is-vehicle-to-grid-technology-sustainable
We reportedly leave our cars parked up to 95% of the time, and on top of this, electrical grids currently have limited storage facilities. Points such as these have inspired a potential solution: vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. We consider the extent to which this promising power innovation may be sustainable.
Is the UK Rushing the Electric Vehicle Revolution?
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/is-the-uk-rushing-the-electric-vehicle-revolution
In 2020, the UK government announced its plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030—an admirable, but incredibly ambitious, aim. Given the infrastructure and charging network required, the question arises: is the UK’s target viable, or is it rushing the electric vehicle revolution?
The Biggest Complaints Related to Buying EVs
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/the-biggest-complaints-related-to-buying-evs
Whether we like it or not, the future of transportation seems to be electric. But should we be welcoming them with open arms? Electric cars are supposed to be better for the environment, offer optimal performance (at least in terms of acceleration), and promise lower ownership costs than gas-powered vehicles. But, things aren’t quite that simple. In this article, we will consider some of the difficulties facing EVs and an all-electric future.
