Morgan Goes Electric!
Morgan, the defender of string-backed driving gloves, has created the XP1, an electric three-wheeler case study. The XP1 is based on the same chassis and aluminium monocoque as the Ford-engined Super 3, and has been operational for three months. The company uses electrical equipment from various manufacturers, including the 100kW iNetic motor and inverter. Both these equipment are vital assets to a Morgan, and iNetic did an excellent job manufacturing them. The motor and the inverter were made with great precision and craftsmanship that it affects the performance of Morgan to a great extent.
The Future of Electric Vehicles
Imagine a world where your car runs silently, emits zero tailpipe emissions, and charges up as quickly as a coffee break. This future is closer than you think, thanks to the rapid advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology. Electric vehicles have come a long way in recent years. Initially dismissed as a niche market, they are now gaining significant traction and reshaping the automotive industry. However, the current state of the EV market is just the beginning of a larger, more sustainable revolution.
UK Road Tax Changes: What You Need to Know for April 2025
The UK government’s upcoming changes to vehicle excise duty (VED), set to begin in April 2025, are making waves among drivers, particularly electric vehicle (EV) owners. These revisions mark a pivotal moment in the nation’s transition to cleaner transportation, aiming to balance the tax system while addressing the growing number of EVs on the road.

Why Marine Electrification Starts with Compliance
Marine electrification promises cleaner, quieter vessels – but bringing electric propulsion to the seas isn’t as simple as dropping a Tesla drivetrain into a ship. The maritime domain is governed by strict regulations and classification society rules that make compliance a foundational design consideration, not an afterthought. In fact, ensuring regulatory compliance from day one is often the only way to turn bold electrification concepts into practical realities on the water. This article explores why compliance comes first in marine electrification, how marine rules shape technical design (from electrical safety and redundancy to EMC and fire protection), and what it means for system-level engineering. We’ll also look at real-world projects (ferries, workboats, offshore vessels) where a compliance-first approach paved the way for success, and conclude with why marine-savvy integration partners are key in this emerging field.
Trends in Electric Light-Duty Vehicles: A Global Perspective
The automotive sector is transforming significantly due to the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. We will examine the current electric light-duty vehicle trends in important locations that have shaped the EV landscape in this post. China, Europe, and the US dominate electric vehicle adoption in 2022. These areas’ amazing progress, problems, and opportunities for electric cars will be explored.
What’s Behind the US Push for Electric Cars?
The United States has recently made headlines with its ambitious push for electric vehicles (EVs), signaling a transformative shift in the nation's transportation and energy sectors. This move, while applauded by environmental advocates, has sparked debates over its economic, environmental, and societal implications. But what exactly is driving this agenda?

Norway’s EV Uptake Success:How Policy and Innovation Drove an Electric Revolution
The global shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, but the pace differs vastly by country. Nowhere is this contrast more evident than in Norway, a nation that has emerged as the undisputed world leader in EV adoption. In this Inetic Traction article, we delve into why Norway’s EV uptake has been so remarkably successful and explore how it compares to the United Kingdom, the United States, and other European countries. The tone is technical and factual – much like an engineering magazine – aimed at industry experts and EV enthusiasts eager to understand the mechanics behind Norway’s electric revolution.
The Hidden Impact of Auxiliary Systems on EV Efficiency and Range
Emerging Battery Technologies
In the quest to surpass conventional lithium-ion batteries, several next-generation chemistries are gaining momentum — including lithium-air, sodium-ion, solid-state, and semi-solid-state batteries. Each offers distinct advantages in energy density, safety, cost, and material availability. Lithium-air promises extremely high theoretical energy density but remains in early-stage development. Sodium-ion provides a cost-effective, resource-abundant alternative suitable for grid storage and affordable EVs. Solid-state batteries aim to deliver higher energy density and enhanced safety through non-flammable solid electrolytes, with commercialization targeted for the late 2020s. Meanwhile, semi-solid-state batteries serve as a transitional solution, already entering commercial deployment by combining solid and liquid electrolyte benefits. Together, these technologies are shaping the future of energy storage across automotive, aerospace, and grid applications.
MTPA and Manual Phase Angle Sweeping
Achieving maximum efficiency in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) requires precise control of current distribution between the d-axis and q-axis. Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) ensures the highest torque output for a given current, reducing losses and improving electric vehicle range. While simulation tools provide initial estimates, Manual Phase Angle Sweeping remains essential for accurate real-world calibration—capturing temperature effects, magnetic saturation, and field weakening behavior. This process forms the backbone of reliable inverter tuning and optimal traction motor performance.
