If an alternative precursor can be used that provides good fiber and yield, the cost could be reduced. The cost to manufacture the carbon fiber is high. If an unconventional solution can be found to reducing the cost for either conventional oxidation or conventional conversion of the fiber, the cost could be reduced.

When incorporated into resins, fuzzy fibers enable composites to be tailored for electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical and biological sensing, energy storage and conversion, thermal management and other properties. This is going to disrupt the way we think about materials. Everybody is growing carbon nanotubes on substrates.

D 3 GaN technology has been shown to reduce the power losses by at least 50% while benefiting from the high-yield, low-cost proprietary design of GaN transistors. This optimization is important for the inverter design and manufacturing in order to minimize the required paralleling and to optimize the inverter cost.

& And the batteries would definitely need charged often, as the VTRUX line was claimed to have around a 35-mile range on battery power. Ditching a transmission and partial operation on electric power alone were the selling points for the VTRUX line. VIA was focused on fleet sales and a low cost of ownership.
