A big tech change will happen next year.
The Texas blackouts caused by the severe winter storm caused havoc for millions of residents earlier this year. But never let a crisis go to waste, as the old saying goes. New Ford F-150 owners realized their trucks Power Boost generator could serve as a temporary solution to get some electricity running inside their homes. The automaker even asked Texas Ford dealerships to lend out F-150s with this onboard generator to those in desperate situations. If a combustion-engined truck with a generator can help save the day, a pure battery-electric can do the same, right? Absolutely.

Siemens Gamesa has completed the first Siemens Gamesa B108 wind turbine blade.

The 108-metre IntegralBlade® was cast in one piece using patented Siemens Gamesa blade technologies. This process eliminates weaker areas at glued joints and produces blades of optimum quality, strength, and reliability, the turbine maker said.
The record-setting blade will be installed on the prototype SG 14-222 DD wind turbine at the test centre in Østerild, Denmark later in 2021, Siemens Gamesa said.
The blade is one metre longer than the previous record holder, the LM 107.0 P featured on the GE Haliade – X wind turbine.
1. Electric Drive System: Power Boost and Recuperation
The headline figures for the e-tron GT are 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds, while the RS model hits the same speed from a standstill in 3.3 seconds. Voth top out at an electronically limited top speed north of 150 mph. The key to these figures is a powertrain comprising two electric motors working together, one at the front and one at the rear, creating a total of 469 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. However, an available overboost function unlocks the e-tron GT s full potential for 2.5-second bursts - 523 hp and 472 lb-ft. The RS model produces 590 hp and 612 lb-ft, but its own overboost function sends these peak figures to 637 hp, while torque remains unchanged.
