IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is Exactly What We Expected

Cars That Think

Tesla Bot Development Platform Demo. Tesla After the very brief live demo, Musk showed some video clips of the prototype robot doing other things (starting at 19:30 in the livestream). Tesla Bot Latest Generation Demo. And it is expected to cost much less than a car—much less than $20,000 would be my guess.
