COURTESY BAS A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2024 beginning at 21:30 UTC. The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews, featured messages and music for the 47 members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there were interviews with Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS; Olivier Hubert, a former chef at Rothera and the Halley VI research station; and Nadine Frontier, a marine biologist at King Edward Point; and Allie Clement, an ocean scientist at Rothera. The transmitter came on the air with a test tone (1108 Hz plus harmonics) about a minute before the program started. As sometimes happens, the first few words of the introduction were missed.The recording is of the transmission on 11685 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The sender had a registered power of 300 kW with antenna beam 182 degrees. The transmission was received on a Belka-DX receiver with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna outdoors in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada, in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and very good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 9585 kHz from Woofferton and 9870 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 11685 kHz. There was a break in transmission at about the 21-minute mark in the recording for approximately one minute. A studio quality, slightly longer, podcast version is available on the BBC World Service website.

In this episode, we speak with Luke Farajallah, CEO of Loganair, UK's largest regional airline that operates the world's shortest commercial flight and the only airline globally that lands commercially on a beach.Farajallah discusses:Loganair's unique "fishing in a big pond" approach to sustainable aviation, investing simultaneously in SAF, hybrid-electric aircraft with Heart Aerospace, and hydrogen propulsion with ZeroAvia rather than betting on a single technology.Why regional airlines are better positioned than major carriers to pioneer sustainable aviation, given their shorter routes, smaller aircraft, and wider technology options beyond expensive, imported sustainable aviation fuel.The company's mandatory £1 carbon offset programme included in every ticket, funding local environmental projects across Scotland through their Green Skies initiative, achieving near-zero customer resistance.Strategic partnerships, including equipping Embraer aircraft with 130kg water vapour sensors for the UK Met Office to study contrail environmental impacts, and plans for the world's first hydrogen-powered commercial flight from Orkney.As a leader who transformed Loganair's operational performance from 22nd to 2nd place in European rankings in just 12 months, Farajallah brings a results-driven approach to balancing commercial viability with environmental responsibility whilst serving communities that depend entirely on aviation connectivity.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Sally Davey, CEO of Travelyst.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1121: We cover the rapid growth in EV charging infrastructure even as EV sales plateau, Tesla's China-only 500+ mile Model 3, and a solar-powered drone that just stayed airborne for 74 hours without a drop of fuel.Show Notes with links:EV sales brace for slump, but charging networks surge ahead with automaker supportDespite challenges in EV sales, the U.S. fast-charging network is rapidly expanding and may actually meet infrastructure goals—whether or not EV adoption keeps pace.The U.S. hit nearly 60,000 fast-charging ports in Q2 and is on track for 19% growth in 2025.Private investment, not government aid, is fueling most of this growth as NEVI funds stall, with new players like Ionna and Mercedes-Benz expanding fastTesla dominates with 54% market share; Electrify America and ChargePoint trail at under 8%.“There will be more choice, more infrastructure and, hopefully, better experiences for EV drivers,” said Loren McDonald, chief analyst at Paren.This comes as U.S. EV registrations rose 4.6% in June, but EV market share slipped to 8.6%—down from 8.8% last year—signaling a stagnant market.Tesla's registrations dropped 6%, while GM surged with Chevrolet up 152% and Cadillac up 87%, showing shifting momentum among major players.Tesla has quietly introduced its longest-range Model 3 to date, the "Model 3 Plus," capable of up to 515 miles—but only for the Chinese market, for now.The 830 km (CLTC-rated) Model 3 Plus uses a more powerful 225 kW motor and LG-supplied lithium-ion batteries.It achieves long range with just a 78.4 kWh battery thanks to efficiency gains, not just capacity.Tesla aims to compete directly with high-range local EVs like the Xiaomi SU7 and is expected to launch the model in China by September with a price just under $38K.“This effectively shatters the 700 km psychological ceiling,” said Shanghai-based analyst Li Wei.Aviation startup Skydweller Aero just pulled off a wild feat: flying a solar-powered drone for 74 hours straight—twice—without touching down or using a drop of fuel.The drone has a wingspan larger than a Boeing 747 and runs solely on solar power and batteries.Its 17,000 solar cells power flight by day and charge 1,400 pounds of onboard batteries to keep flying at night.Recent Navy tests suggest big military potential in anti-piracy, smuggling patrols, and backup GPS missions.Skydweller also has commercial ambitions, including remote internet delivery and environmental monitoring.“There's a lot of money to be made in something that never touches the ground,” the company noted.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Opel hat sich vorgenommen, mit dem neuen Mokka GSE Motorsport-Energie auf die Straße zu bringen. Dazu waren fünf Jahre Pionierarbeit im elektrischen Motorsport mit dem ADAC Opel Electric Rally Cup nötig. Das markante Design macht ihn zu einem echten Hingucker. Und die prognostizierte Leistung ist auch beachtlich! Warten wir auf die ersten Fahreindrücke!  Darum geht es diesmal!Bei eingefleischten Opel-Fans begannen sofort die Augen zu leuchten, wenn der Begriff „GSE“ auf einem Fahrzeug auftauchte. Das war schon immer der Hinweis auf eine besonders sportliche Variante.  2022 hat Opel die Rückkehr des ikonischen Kürzels „GSE“ eingeläutet– seither steht GSE für „Grand Sport Electric“. Kurz darauf wurden Opel Astra, Astra Sports Tourer und die vorherige Grandland-Generation als besonders mutige und dynamische elektrifizierte Spitzenmodelle mit Plug-in-Hybrid-Antrieb angeboten. Opel betrachtet GSE quasi als Submarke, das G steht für „Grand, German Engineering trifft auf Gänsehaut, großartiger Grip und G-Kräfte“, das S für „Sensationeller Sport, Speed, Schweiß und durch S-Kurven sausen“, das E schließlich für „Elektrisches Erlebnis, Extra-Spannung und Euphorie“. Die nächste GSE-Generation wird die nun noch emotionaler und betritt vollelektrisches Terrain. Der neue GSE-Trailer, „OMG! GSE“ zeigt in einer Minute: „Zum Puls-Beschleunigen reichen drei Buchstaben!“ Was GSE heißt, haben wir ja schon erklärt, und OMG? Da werden Sie selbst die Erklärung finden, nicht wahr?  Dass die Marke mit dem energiegeladenen Blitz hält, was sie verspricht, kann man an der Ankündigung des vom Prototypen Mokka GSE Rally inspirierten Mokka GSE als Serienfahrzeug erkennen. Der neue Mokka GSE wird nichts weniger als der schnellste batterie-elektrische Opel sein – verpackt in ein GSE- und Rallye-Design sowie mit spezifischer Technik ausgestattet.OMG! GSE-Power: 207 kW (280 PS), 200 km/h und spezielle GSE-TechnikAusrufezeichen setzt der neue Opel Mokka GSE vor allem mit seiner starken Performance. Die Daten sprechen für sich: Mit einer Spitzenleistung von 207 kW (280 PS) ist der Serien-Stromer künftig genauso stark wie sein Motorsport-Pendant Mokka GSE Rally. Und mit einem unmittelbar anliegenden Drehmoment von 345 Newtonmetern packt er ebenso kompromisslos zu. So beschleunigt der Mokka GSE in nur 5,9 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h – und mit einer Spitzengeschwindigkeit von 200 km/h wird er schon bald der schnellste vollelektrische Opel sein. Die Energie speichert der Mokka GSE in einer 54 kWh fassenden Lithium-Ionen-Batterie. Weitere Neuigkeiten zum ersten Auftritt und zum Marktstart folgen in Kürze.Alle Fotos: © Opel Automobile GmbH    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

bto#311 REFRESH – Die größte Herausforderung der Energiewende liegt darin, dass es sich dabei um ein physikalisch-technisches Thema handelt. Dieser Umstand schränkt die gesellschaftliche Diskussionsfähigkeit ein, weil breite Schichten der Bevölkerung und ein Großteil der vermeintlichen Experten nicht zwischen “kW” und “kWh” unterscheiden können und obendrein die komplexen Aufgaben grob fahrlässig vereinfachen. Diese Situation ermöglicht politische und wirtschaftliche Geschäftsmodelle, die Lobbyinteressen vertreten, Gewinne privatisieren, Risiken sozialisieren und nicht zur Problemlösung beitragen – und die uns alle letztlich viel Wohlstand kosten. Aus diesem Grund lohnt es sich, mit einem Ingenieur das Thema unter rein technischen Gesichtspunkten zu besprechen und die physikalisch-technischen Grenzen der Energiewende zu beleuchten.Genau das hat Daniel Stelter 2020 in Episode 46 mit Professor Dr. Holger Watter von der Hochschule Flensburg getan. Der promovierte Diplom-Ingenieur für Maschinenbau ist Professor für Systemtechnik und zu seinen Fachgebieten gehören regenerative Energiesysteme. Er sagte damals schon, dass die Diskussion um Klimaschutzmaßnahmen zunehmend “zu einer Glaubensfrage nach Bauchgefühl“ ausarten würde.

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland  Thema heute: Publikumsrenner in zweiter Generation: 50 Jahre Opel Ascona B und Manta B     Opel Ascona B – Opel Manta B Sportliches Design, dynamische Fahrleistungen bei höchster Effizienz und zugleich ideales Familienauto mit viel Platz im Innenraum – wer nach diesen Pkw-Qualitäten sucht, denkt heute häufig an den Opel Astra. Doch schon vor 50 Jahren wurden die Kunden bei Opel fündig, wenn sie nach Tugenden wie dem Fokus auf das Wesentliche, angenehmem Reisekomfort sowie höchster Effizienz suchten. Sie standen sogar vor der Qual der Wahl: Sollte es ein Opel Ascona oder lieber ein Opel Manta sein, auf gleicher technischer Basis, aber mit unterschiedlichem Charakter und verschiedenen Käufergruppen im Blick?  Opel Ascona B – Opel Manta B Generationenwechsel: Auf Ascona und Manta A folgen 1975 die Neuauflagen Der Ascona A und Manta A gehen im Jahr 1970 an den Start. 1975 folgt die jeweils zweite Generation. Der neue Ascona B ist deutlich großzügiger geschnitten als sein Vorgänger, die Karosserie ist rund 20 Zentimeter länger und 4 Zentimeter breiter als zuvor. Auf der gleichen technischen Basis wie der Ascona B, aber als sportlich orientiertes Coupé designt, feiert der Manta B auf der IAA 1975 seine Premiere. Er vereint – damals außergewöhnlich für ein Fahrzeug seiner Klasse – Top-Fahrleistungen und ein ausgezeichnetes Fahrverhalten mit ausgeprägter Wirtschaftlichkeit und vorbildlichem Raumangebot für bis zu fünf Personen. Manta GT/E  Für die Piste gemacht: Manta GT/E, Ascona 400 und Manta 400 Zur großen Begeisterung für Ascona B und Manta B tragen vor allem auch sehr sportliche Varianten wie der Manta GT/E bei. Autotester bescheinigen damals, dass die Fahrleistungen des 77 kW (105 PS) und bis zu 185 km/h schnellen GT/E an nominell stärkere Wettbewerbsmodelle heranreichen oder sie sogar übertreffen. Opel Ascona B 400 Walter Röhrl – Christian Geistdörfer Eine Zahl jedoch lässt die Herzen von Motorsportbegeisterten und Rallye-Fans in Verbindung mit Ascona B und Manta B bis heute höherschlagen: Die 400! Schon in den frühen 1970er Jahren fährt der Ascona zahlreiche Erfolge im internationalen Rallyesport ein.  Der Clou gelingt Opel mit der 1979 eingeführten neuen sportlichen Topversion Ascona 400: Mit 2,4-Liter-DOHC-Motor und 106 kW (144 PS), Scheibenbremsen hinten und Fünfganggetriebe bildet sie die Basis für das 191 kW (260 PS) starke Rallyefahrzeug, mit dem Walter Röhrl 1982 schließlich den Weltmeistertitel holt.

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) sit down with Bitfarms power duo Rachel Silverstein (GC & firm-builder) and Alex Brammer (ex-Ranger turned HPC czar) to map out Bitfarms' high-voltage pivot from pure Bitcoin mining to hyperscale AI infrastructure. They unpack how a 460 MW fleet, a gigawatt development pipeline, and a fresh $300 million Macquarie project-finance deal are transforming legacy mining sites into liquid-cooled, 600 kW-per-rack AI engines. Discover why a “dream-team” exec roster, project-level debt, and a land-plus-power land-grab strategy could vault Bitfarms from blocks to bots—and what it all means for energy markets, AI's compute arms race, and the future of work.

Mitsubishi Motors hat sich offensichtlich entschlossen, seine Stellung im Automobilmarkt auszubauen. Der neue SUV Outlander Plug-in Hybrid gehört zum D-Segment, er stellt die nächste Stufe seiner Produktoffensive vor. Er basiert auf dem Produktkonzept I-Fu-Do-Do. Falls japanisch weder Ihre Muttersprache, noch die weite erlernte Fremdsprache ist, hier die Übersetzung. Es steht für authentisch und majestätisch. Dem kann man durchaus zustimmen.  Darum geht es diesmal!Als Mitsubishi im vergangenen Jahr den neuen Outlander präsentierte, ging für viele Fans der Marke geradezu die Sonne auf. Und das lag nicht daran, dass Japan auch das „Land der aufgehenden Sonne“ genannt wird. Schon der bisherige Outlander hatte seine Fans, die nun ihre Leidenschaft mit dem neuen Modell weiter pflegen können. Mitsubishi bietet den Wagen als Outlander Plug-in Hybrid an. Das Outfit!Optisch erinnert der im D-SUV-Segment angesiedelte Outlander Plug-in Hybrid an den SUV-Klassiker Pajero und das sicherlich nicht zufällig, der Pajero war ein Kultfahrzeug. Die Vorderansicht ist wie die Seitenansicht dynamisch und unverwechselbar. Auch das macht den Reiz des Outlander aus.  Power und Drive!    Ich bin seit einiger Zeit bekanntlich ein Freund von Plug-in-Hybriden, man ist auf der sicheren Seite, wenn Orte, die man regelmäßig anfährt, plötzlich Verbrennerverbote erlassen. Man fährt dann halt rein elektrisch rein. Der Outlander Plug-in Hybrid hat eine Systemleistung von 225 kW (306 PS), die sich aus einem 2.4 Benziner mit 100 kW (136 PS) und zwei Elektromotoren mit 85 kW (116 PS) vorn sowie 100 kW (136 PS) hinten zusammensetzen. Die Reichweite im rein elektrischen Betrieb liegt bei ca. 85 km, die Aufladung auf 80 % an einer Schnelladesäule wird in 32 Minuten erledigt. Rein elektrisch ist der Outlander PHEV 135 km/h schnell, im Normalbetrieb schafft er ca. 170 km/h. Tempo 100 wird nach 7,9 Sekunden erreicht.  Seine drei Fahrmodi – rein elektrisch, serieller- und Parallel-Hybridmodus – machen den Wagen flexibel für unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten.  Die Kosten!Die Preisskala den neuen Outlander Plug-in Hybrid beginnt mit einem Einstiegspreis von 49.990 Euro für den Outlander Plug-in Hybrid BASIS. Über die Ausstattungslinien Plus, Intro Edition und Top geht es final zum Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Top mit Luxury-Paket zum Preis von 58.490,00 Euro. Da sollte nun wirklich für jeden etwas dabei sein. Und schon das Basismodell hat eine ausgesprochen reichhaltige Ausstattungsliste. Alleine die Assistenzsysteme und die Sicherheitsausstattungen sind eine halbe Din A4 Seite lang.  Dazu kommen jede Menge weitere Ausstattungsdetails. Und ich betone: Wir sprechen nur von der BASIS-Ausstattung.  Alle Fotos: © MITSUBISHI MOTORS /MMD Automobile GmbH    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Volkswagen ID.3 (ADAC, 2021-2025) su degradación de batería 1) Vehículo, contexto y objetivo de la prueba • Modelo probado: Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S (batería grande de 77 kWh). • Entidad que realiza la prueba: ADAC (mayor club automovilístico de Europa). • Duración/uso: Casi 4 años (desde mayo de 2021) y >170.000 km recorridos. • Propósito: Evaluar degradación real de la batería, eficiencia, mantenimiento y usabilidad a largo plazo para responder al miedo más habitual del comprador de un EV: la vida útil y el coste de sustitución de la batería. 2) Condiciones de uso (exigentes y “reales”) • Cargas rápidas frecuentes (más del 40 % de las sesiones). • Muchos periodos al 100 % de carga. • Temperaturas extremas (invierno y verano). • Múltiples conductores (uso en el centro técnico del ADAC en Landsberg am Lech). • Largos periodos sin uso. 3) Degradación de la batería y autonomía • Capacidad útil restante: 91 % (solo −9 % respecto al inicio). • Autonomía WLTP medida: de 438 km a 425 km (−13 km tras >170.000 km). • Medición de degradación: Test premium Aviloo (laboratorio independiente) con ±3 % de margen de error (servicio disponible para particulares en Alemania). Evolución del “estado de la batería” (%) Kilometraje Estado batería 21.749 km 96 % 46.029 km 96 % 59.166 km 96 % 69.549 km 95 % 84.264 km 94 % 87.020 km 94 % 102.505 km 93 % 128.500 km 92 % 145.810 km 91 % 169.651 km 91 % 4) Software: la gran (y positiva) sorpresa • Actualizaciones clave: especialmente desde la versión 3.2 (2023). • Efectos medidos por ADAC: • Menor consumo medio: de 20 kWh/100 km a 18,3 kWh/100 km tras 172.000 km. • Mayor potencia de carga pico: de 125 kW a >160 kW (reducción de tiempos de carga entre 10 % y 30 %). • Ejemplo práctico: con 10 % de batería, ~30 minutos para llegar al 80 % en un cargador rápido. • Mejor gestión térmica en invierno, manteniendo autonomías más estables con frío. • Planificador de rutas mejorado (tiene en cuenta tráfico y disponibilidad de puntos de carga). • Mejoras en conectividad, información al conductor y funciones remotas vía app VW Connect. 5) Consumos y comportamiento térmico • Consumo real registrado: entre 13 y 30 kWh/100 km (según trayecto, temperatura y estilo de conducción). • Gestión térmica optimizada en invierno tras actualizaciones de software. 6) Mantenimiento, averías e incidencias • Mantenimientos programados: 2 (a los 74.000 km y 176.000 km). • Incidencias relevantes (resueltas en garantía o por software): • Antena GPS defectuosa. • Cambio de la batería auxiliar de 12 V. • Fallo del mecanismo de apertura de la tapa de carga. • Conclusión ADAC: muy pocas incidencias pese al uso intensivo. 7) Valor residual y mensaje de Volkswagen • Valor de tasación actual: ~24.000 € (base de datos DAT en Alemania), depreciación considerada razonable por antigüedad y kilometraje. • Mensaje de Volkswagen (Martin Sander): “Una capacidad de batería superior al 90 % después de 160.000 km confirma que nuestros modelos ID. también son muy atractivos como vehículos de ocasión.” 8) Global de la prueba • La degradación fue menor de lo esperado (solo 9 % tras 170.000 km). • El coche “mejora con el tiempo” gracias al software: más eficiente, carga más rápido y gestiona mejor la batería. • Reforzamiento del mercado de ocasión para eléctricos cuando hay buen soporte de actualizaciones por parte del fabricante. • No todo es perfecto: interfaz táctil criticada y sistema multimedia lento. • Con software cuidado y mantenimiento correcto, la batería de un eléctrico puede durar bastante más de lo que muchos temen.

Die Elektrifizierung von Fuhrparks und Unternehmensflotten stellt viele Betriebe vor Herausforderungen: hohe Investitionskosten, lange Planungszeiten und Unsicherheiten bei Netzanschlüssen. MAHLE ChargeBIG begegnet diesen Hürden mit einem radikal anderen Ansatz – einfach, skalierbar und wirtschaftlich. Matthias Kreimeier, CEO von MAHLE ChargeBIG, stellt seine Vision in dieser Episode von "eMobility Insights" genauer vor. Zentral statt dezentral – Intelligenz am Netzanschluss Das Herzstück des ChargeBIG-Systems ist ein zentrales Lastmanagement, das für bis zu 100 Ladepunkte konzipiert ist. Statt jede Wallbox mit eigener „Intelligenz“ auszustatten, sitzen Steuerung und Kommunikation gebündelt in einer zentralen Leistungseinheit. Das reduziert Kosten, vereinfacht die Installation und erhöht die Betriebssicherheit. „Wir führen die Intelligenz zusammen und machen die Boxen am Parkplatz so einfach wie möglich“, beschreibt es Matthias Kreimeier. Die sogenannte Smallbox vor Ort enthält lediglich die Ladetechnik, keine aufwendige Kommunikation. Das senkt die Fehleranfälligkeit und erlaubt eine schlanke Infrastruktur, die leicht erweiterbar ist. Ladeleistung clever gedacht: Weniger ist oft mehr Das System setzt bewusst auf Wechselstromladen mit moderater Leistung, typischerweise 2 bis 7,2 kW. Denn viele Fahrzeuge stehen ohnehin acht Stunden oder länger am Arbeitsplatz. Rechnet man realistisch: Ein E-Auto mit 50 km Tagesfahrleistung benötigt rund 15 kWh. Verteilt auf einen Arbeitstag reichen dafür 2 kW Ladeleistung – bei minimaler Belastung des Netzanschlusses. „Nicht die Ladeleistung ist der Engpass, sondern die Anzahl der Stecker“, erklärt Kreimeier. Der modulare Aufbau erlaubt es Unternehmen, klein anzufangen – etwa mit 6 Ladepunkten – und bei wachsender E-Flotte einfach zu skalieren, ohne Umbau am Netzanschluss oder langwierige Genehmigungen. Mobile Lösungen für neue Einsatzfelder Ein besonderes Highlight ist die portable Variante der Smallbox – entwickelt mit Würth für den Einsatz auf Baustellen. Hier wird das Ladesystem in einen Baustromverteiler integriert. Bauleiter oder Lieferanten können direkt vor Ort laden, ohne zusätzliche Stopps oder aufwendige Infrastruktur. „Vier Ladepunkte in einem tragbaren Gehäuse – einfach, robust und sofort einsatzbereit.“ Damit wird Elektromobilität auch im Baugewerbe praxistauglich. Aus der Praxis: Flexibel bei Industrie und Flughafen Zwei Projektbeispiele verdeutlichen die Stärken des Systems: Automobilhersteller: Für die Auslieferung von E-Fahrzeugen wurden 70–100 Parkplätze mit AC-Ladepunkten ausgestattet. Um unnötiges Umparken und Unfälle zu vermeiden, wurden die Ladekabel über Deckenroller geführt – ohne Bodeninstallation. Fahrzeuge laden über Nacht und sind am nächsten Tag abfahrbereit. Flughafenparkhaus: Trotz nur 30 kW Netzanschluss konnten 18 Ladepunkte realisiert werden. Reisende und Mitarbeitende stehen oft mehrere Tage – das genügt für langsames, aber vollständiges Laden. Bislang gab es keine Beschwerden über unzureichende Ladezustände. Fazit: Ladeinfrastruktur mit System – einfach, skalierbar, zuverlässig ChargeBIG zeigt, dass Ladeinfrastruktur nicht kompliziert oder teuer sein muss. Durch zentrale Steuerung, einfache Installation und flexible Erweiterbarkeit eignet sich das System ideal für Flotten, Parkhäuser, Unternehmensstandorte – und sogar für temporäre Einsätze. „Der Nutzer steigt ein, das Auto ist voll, alles hat funktioniert – das ist für uns gute Elektromobilität“, fasst Kreimeier zusammen.

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland   Thema heute: Subaru geht in E-ffensive: Drei neue Elektroautos für Europa angekündigt      Aus eins mach drei: Subaru baut sein vollelektrisches Modellportfolio in den kommenden Monaten sukzessive aus. Gleich drei Elektroautos sind auf Basis der neu entwickelten e-Subaru Global Platform geplant. Die grundlegend überarbeitete Fahrzeugarchitektur garantiert vollelektrischen Fahrspaß ohne Kompromisse: Ein niedriger Schwerpunkt trifft auf den markentypischen Allradantrieb (AWD), der für die neue EV-Ära gezielt überarbeitet wurde. Ein neues, softwaregesteuertes AWD-System verteilt das Drehmoment nun automatisch und intuitiv zwischen Vorder- und Hinterachse, um Kurvenlage, Haftung und Traktion – insbesondere auf Schnee und Eis – zu verbessern. Um die Elektromobilität für möglichst viele Kunden zugänglich und erschwinglich zu machen, hat Subaru zudem zwei Modellvarianten mit Frontantrieb (FWD) entwickelt. Sie bieten höhere Reichweiten zu niedrigeren Preisen. Den Anfang der EV-Offensive macht der neue SOLTERRA, der grundlegend überarbeitet ins Modelljahr 2026 rollt. Seine beiden Elektromotoren an Vorder- und Hinterachse entwickeln nun 252 kW/343 PS, was ein Plus von satten 125 PS bedeutet. Trotz dieser Kraftkur, die den Sprint auf 100 km/h auf 5,1 Sekunden verkürzt, klettert die Reichweite auf mehr als 500 Kilometer (vorläufige Angabe). Neben Effizienzsteigerungen zeichnet hierfür eine nun 73,1 kWh große Hochvoltbatterie verantwortlich, die sich an Schnellladestationen innerhalb von 30 Minuten von zehn auf 80 Prozent aufladen lässt – und das dank intelligenter Vorkonditionierung selbst bei Minustemperaturen. Mit dem neuen Subaru UNCHARTED folgt im Frühjahr 2026 ein vollelektrisches Kompakt-SUV: Neben einer Allradversion, die den Doppelmotor vom SOLTERRA übernimmt, wird das Elektrofahrzeug auch mit Frontantrieb angeboten. Kunden können dabei zwischen zwei Batteriekapazitäten (57,7 und 77 kWh) wählen. Als Long Range mit dem größeren Akku beträgt die Normreichweite bis zu 585 Kilometer (vorläufige Angabe). Komplettiert wird die Modelloffensive vom e-OUTBACK. Die vollelektrische Version des Subaru-Flaggschiffs rollt voraussichtlich im 2. Halbjahr 2026 nach Deutschland und Europa. Den Vortrieb übernimmt ein 280 kW/381 PS starker Elektroantrieb, der bis zu 450 Kilometer (vorläufige Angabe) fährt, ehe ein kurzer Ladestopp eingelegt werden muss.

This week we are talking to Jenn and Becky Scott on their adventure in moving here to Key West. I always love hearing everyones story on how they got here or their "moving to KW" story. Everyone has a unique POV on what it takes to get here and what it was like moving here. I thought it would be fun to hear theirs since well 1. they are our great friends but also 2. We have interviewed them a few times so now its just the last piece to their "wonder how we can move to KW" story. EnjoyOh also.... We were recording in a car driving down the road and we were testing the sound ...... I had to leave it in LOL Hello Hello Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with LiquidStack CEO Joe Capes about the company's breakthrough GigaModular platform — the industry's first scalable, modular Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) purpose-built for direct-to-chip liquid cooling. With rack densities accelerating beyond 120 kW and headed toward 600 kW, LiquidStack is targeting the real-world requirements of AI data centers while streamlining complexity and future-proofing thermal design. “AI will keep pushing thermal output to new extremes,” Capes tells DCF. “Data centers need cooling systems that can be easily deployed, managed, and scaled to match heat rejection demands as they rise.” LiquidStack's new GigaModular CDU, unveiled at the 2025 Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes, delivers up to 10 MW of scalable cooling capacity. It's designed to support single-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling — a shift from the company's earlier two-phase immersion roots — via a skidded modular design with a pay-as-you-grow approach. The platform's flexibility enables deployments at N, N+1, or N+2 resiliency. “We designed it to be the only CDU our customers will ever need,” Capes says. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion, which goes on to explore why edge infrastructure and EV adoption will drive the next wave of sector innovation. 

Bob Freling has been the Executive Director of the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) since 1997. Its mission is to design, fund, and implement solar energy solutions to benefit those in poor communities without access to the electricity grid, helping others to overcome energy poverty. SELF provides energy access in the developing world and has an impressive track record of providing more than 750 solar systems in over 20 countries. Bob Freling was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and was educated at Yale University where he earned his degree in Russian Studies. He has an intense appreciation of linguistics having studied Spanish, French, Russian, and Mandarin. After colleage, and when on assignment in Taiwan, he joined the antinuclear movement, and came upon clean solar energy and SELF. He never looked back, realizing the life-changing value of solar in the developing world.Bob discusses SELF's evolution from providing small household, 50-watt solar solutions -- which powered a few lights and a radio -- to the "whole village development model" which provides a broader spectrum of benefits including community water pumping, power for health clinics, streetlighting, and microenterprise centers. One memorable project was in the Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa. There, SELF installed a satellite dish and 2.4 kW solar array that powered a school which received 20 personal computers donated by Dell Computers. All of a sudden, that community had access not only to energy but to "the universe of information." Another project was in the African country of Benin where SELF supported water pumping and drip irrigation, and hydroponics, fostering solar market gardens run by women's farming cooperatives.Recently SELF has been promoting new forms of agriculture in Masai villages in Kenya... using water most judiciously and effectively. SELF is also focused on e-cooking using advanced electric cooking devices. Bob discusses the great value of the sun in supporting the energy-water-food nexus and is thankful for the support SELF has received from foundations, philanthropists, corporations, and international aid agencies. For his dedication and important works, Bob was honored to receive the King Hussein Leadership Award which was presented to him by Jordan's Queen Noor.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1100: Franchised dealerships saw a 22% profit surge in Q2, led by strong gains in import and domestic brands. Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark. Profit gains came with a small asterisk because of the big cybersecurity hit last year. However this does mark the first quarterly improvement in domestic brands in three years.Average franchised dealerships posted a 22% net profit increase year-over-year, helped by both import and domestic brand gains.Import stores led with a 34% profit rise, luxury stores up 32%, and domestic stores rebounded 24% for the first time since 2022.New-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 6.1% from Q1 2025 to $2,128, reversing a multi-year decline.Used-vehicle gross profit climbed 11%, while finance and insurance income increased 5.6%, supporting overall revenue growth to $22 million per dealership.“Sustained profitability will come from a focus on fundamentals and a willingness to adapt as market conditions continue to evolve,” said Paul Faletti, CEO of NCM Associates.Ford has built a fully electric Bronco SUV with some impressive specs like 403-mile range, advanced EV tech, including lidar and 30+ sensors for semi-autonomous driving, and a heavier/smoother ride but there's a catch… it's only coming to ChinaThe Bronco New Energy offers two powertrains: a full electric with a 105 kWh battery and an extended-range hybrid (EREV) combining a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5L gas generator.The hybrid version can cover up to 800 miles total, with 137 miles purely on battery before the gas engine kicks in.The SUV is big and heavy—nearly 5,800 pounds and almost 9 inches longer than the gas Bronco—providing a planted ride but potentially slower cornering.Ford's smart cabin includes unique modes like “naps, pets, camping overnight” designed for comfort and convenience.Tesla's new Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood is ready to serve nostalgia and innovation side by side.

Als Seat vor einigen Jahren angekündigt hat, aus der bisherigen Zusatzbezeichnung „Cupra“ eine eigene Automarke zu machen, haben einige Fachleute gezweifelt. Die Zweifel sind unterdessen ausgeräumt, denn CUPRA ist eine der am schnellsten wachsenden Automarken in Europa. Mehr als 700.000 ausgelieferte Fahrzeuge seit dem Launch im Jahr 2018 beweisen es. Und der Terramar wird für weitere Stückzahlen sorgen.  Darum geht es diesmal!Ich könnte mir den heutigen Fahrbericht einfach machen und sagen: Cupra Terramar. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Aber was mache ich dann mit den verbleibenden 2 Minuten und 25 Sekunden dieses Radiobeitrages? Also fangen wir anders an. Auch Motorjournalisten stehen regelmäßig vor der Qual der Wahl, welches Auto sie sich kaufen sollen. Unser Problem ist, dass wir von -zig Modellen fast alles Gute, aber auch fast alles Schlechte wissen. Der Terramar hat mich aber rundum begeistert! Und zwar bei Optik, Ausstattung und Technik. Power und Drive!    Die Qual der Wahl, die ich schon angesprochen habe, beginnt beim Antrieb. Verfügbar sind TSI-Benzin-Motoren, Mildhybrid eTSI-Motoren und die e-HYBRID genannte neue Generation von Plug-in-Hybrid-Motoren. Alle Kombinationen haben serienmäßig ein DSG-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe.  Die Leistungsbandbreite liegt zwischen 110 kW (150 PS) und 200 kW (272 PS), im Test hatten wir die Version Terramar VZ mit 195 kW (265 PS), einem 7-Gang-DSG-Getriebe und Allradantrieb (4Drive). VZ ist übrigens die spanische Abkürzung für „Veloz“ gleich „schnell“. Die Beschleunigung von 0–100 km/h wird in 5,9 Sekunden erledigt, - das ist schnell - die Höchstgeschwindigkeit ist auf 243 km/h limitiert. Der Verbrauch auf 100 Kilometer pendelt sich dabei zwischen 8,4–8,8 l ein, die CO2-Emissionen auf 191–199 g/km, jeweils nach WLTP. Das der Wagen alle notwendigen Assistenzsysteme hat, versteht sich von selbst!  Die Kosten!Auch hier schauen wir mal auf die Preisskala. Sie beginnt bei 44.400,00 € für den CUPRA Terramar 1.5 eTSI 110 kW (150 PS) 7-Gang-DSG und endet bei 57.530,00 €. Für den letztgenannten Betrag bekommen Sie alternativ den Terramar VZ 2.0 TSI 195 kW (265 PS), 7-Gang DSG und Allradantrieb oder den Plug-in-Hybriden Terramar VZ 1.5 e-HYBRID 200 kW (272 PS), 6-Gang-DSG und Frontantrieb.Das Gesamtbild!    Da sage ich nur noch: CUPRA Terramar! Den empfiehlt der Motorjournalist seiner Familie. Und natürlich auch sich selbst! Damit ist alles gesagt, oder? Alle Fotos: © SEAT Deutschland GmbH    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

To find the first geothermal power plant in the world you have to go to Tuscany, Italy in the early twentieth century. The creation of the first geothermal power plant was thanks to Prince Piero Ginori Conti of Trevignano. Conti initially worked for his father-in-law Florestano de Larderel in the processing of boric acid. It was through this work that Conti eventually found his way into geothermal energy with the creation of the first geothermal energy generator in 1904. Based at the Lardorello dry steam field, Conti's generator was able to produce 10 kW of energy and power five light bulbs. From these humble beginnings, the geothermal potential of Lardorello was expanded in 1911. In an area known as the Devil's Valley the world's first geothermal power plant was completed in 1913. In this episode we talk with John Clegg of Hephae Energy on his career path from drilling oil and gas wells to developing drill bits and drilling tools for hot, dry rock for enhanced geothermal systems. Technology developed for unconventional oil and gas reservoirs may be the inspiration for this new industry. Innovation at work.ReferencesHephae Energy Technology https://www.linkedin.com/company/hephae-energy-technology/IADC Geothermal Well Classificaiton https://iadc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IADC-Geothermal-Well-Classification-v1.pdf

Powerwall 3 is the latest generation of Tesla's residential battery lineup, enabling up to 13.5kWh of storage following on from the Powerwall 1 (2015) & Powerwall 2 (2017). Together, there are over 850,000 of these units installed across the globe. Powerwall can power most Irish homes with a single unit, enabling savings through storing excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night during peak pricing hours. By using Self-Consumption mode to store excess solar for use at night, Ireland customers can reduce their reliance on the electricity grid by 70%. Further savings can be unlocked through Time-Based Control mode. This feature allows owners on a utility rate plan that varies by time of day to set their Powerwall to maximise their savings, charging from the grid when prices are low, and using cheaper energy stored in Powerwall to power their home when electricity prices are high. On average, owners can save up to €2,010 per year powering their home with Powerwall 3 paired with solar. Powerwall also has the added benefit of backup protection. It automatically detects outages and becomes the home's energy source when the grid goes down. More power. More efficiency. More backup. Powerwall's inverter can output 5 kW throughout Ireland, enabling further savings by powering a greater variety of appliances. With a built-in solar inverter, Powerwall has greater power efficiency, creates a cleaner-looking install with fewer boxes on the wall and reduces the need for a customer to purchase a third-party inverter. Powerwall redesigned thermal management system, taking learnings from Model 3, enables best-in-class performance, installation flexibility either indoors or outdoors and operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C. Withstanding extreme weather conditions and harsh environments thanks to its robust design, Powerwall 3 can be installed inside or outside, maintaining normal operation in high humidity and flooding in 60 cm of water. Ecosystem Efficiencies Fully integrated in the Tesla product ecosystem, Powerwall can be managed via the Tesla App and adapted to different needs. When used with Tesla vehicles, Powerwall unlocks more charging features, such as Charge on Solar. This free extra feature gives Tesla owners equipped with a Powerwall paired with solar the ability to charge using only excess energy produced by the Tesla solar system. Off-grid charging is also made possible, further lowering the cost of home charging with sustainable energy. Starting today, Powerwall is available in Ireland. Future owners can get a quote from a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer. Datasheet available here.

Kia's Carnival might be better known as Sedona in the United States. However, as the brand launched its minivan's fourth generation back in 2020, Kia pivoted the van to its Korean Domestic name: Carnival. For '25, Kia gave its Carnival a once-over – updated styling and a new powertrain. Kia moved the license plate mount a little lower and added a dark edition to the lineup. More importantly, Kia also added a hybrid powertrain to the Carnival. This hybrid system blends a 1.6-liter turbocharged I4 with a 54 kW electric motor and a six-speed automatic transmission. Kia says that this hybrid Carnival is good for 242 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque and 33 mpg combined. The 3.5-liter V6 is still available for those who want extra displacement, which makes 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the '25 Kia Carnival and puts it through its paces. Murphy takes you on a guided tour of the '25 Carnival and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Murphy takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the Carnival, minivans in the marketplace, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the Carnival special.

As the world transitions toward renewable energy sources, geothermal power has emerged as one of the most promising, yet underutilized, options in the clean energy portfolio. Unlike solar and wind, geothermal offers consistent baseload power generation capacity without intermittency challenges, making it an increasingly attractive component in the renewable energy mix. The geothermal sector has shown increasing potential in recent years, with technological innovations expanding its possible applications beyond traditional volcanic regions. These advances are creating opportunities to tap into moderate-temperature resources that were previously considered uneconomical, potentially unlocking gigawatts of clean, renewable power across the globe. It's within this expanding landscape that companies like Gradient Geothermal are pioneering new approaches. As a guest on The POWER Podcast, Ben Burke, CEO of Gradient Geothermal, outlined his company's innovative approach to geothermal energy extraction that could transform how we think about energy recovery from oil and gas operations. Modular and Mobile Geothermal Solutions Gradient Geothermal differentiates itself in the geothermal marketplace through its focus on modular, portable equipment designed specifically for oil field operations, geothermal operators, and potentially data centers. Unlike traditional geothermal installations that require permanent infrastructure, Gradient's equipment can be moved every six to 18 months as needed, allowing clients to adjust their thermal capacity by adding or removing units as requirements change. “The advantage of mobility and modularity is really important to oil and gas operators,” Burke said. The company's solution consists of two main components: an off-the-shelf organic Rankine cycle (ORC) unit and a primary heat exchanger loop. This system can handle various ratios of oil, gas, and water—even “dirty” water containing sand, brines, and minerals—and convert that heat into usable power. One of the most compelling aspects of Gradient's technology is its ease of installation. “Installation takes one day,” Burke explained. “It's two pipes and three wires, and it's able to sit on a gravel pad or sit on trailers.” This quick setup contrasts sharply with traditional geothermal plants that can take years to construct. The units come in three sizes: 75 kW, 150 kW, and 300 kW. The modular nature allows for flexible configurations, with units able to be connected in series or parallel to handle varying water volumes and temperatures.
