What our Dept. of Energy has been up to
Efficiency related development work for transportation. Some of it, I think, misguided; some of it potentially useful; and much of it at least interesting. Your tax dollars at work...

I'll take the titanium suspension parts, please. And maybe a couple of the lightweight composite seats, if they do them for the front.

I hadn't thought about using soft switching under light load, sounds tricky but doable.
Could do without all the onboard hydrogen malarkey.
