Olympian 84: The Convertible EV That Breaks Boundaries!

Image
The Olympian 84 isn’t just another EV — it’s a bold statement. Forged in titanium and military-grade carbon fiber, this four-passenger convertible SUV blends retro-futuristic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Its AR windshield HUD eliminates traditional screens, while the cabin embraces exotic woods, silk, and cashmere for a tactile luxury experience. With 340 horsepower, an 89 kWh battery, and a 335-mile range, the Olympian 84 balances performance with sustainability. Limited to just 310 units, it’s a rare fusion of art, engineering, and eco-conscious design. Source : Olympian 84

Luminetta: Turning Parking Time into Power

Image
Passenger cars spend most of their lives parked. Clemson University’s Deep Orange 17 project flips that downtime into an energy advantage. Developed by graduate Automotive Engineering students with BMW of North America, the fully functional prototype “Luminetta” is wrapped in 1,781 photovoltaic cells. These solar panels harvest energy while driving and continue charging when stationary, transforming every sunlit moment into part of the EV’s cycle. By reimagining idle hours as productive ones, Luminetta points toward a future where cars are not just consumers of energy but contributors to sustainable mobility. Source : Luminetta

Solarky Sun V – Solar Powered Urban EV

REE Automotive: Redefining Electric Mobility with a Modular Platform

Image
Electric mobility is undergoing a radical transformation, and Israeli startup REE Automotive is leading the charge with a bold new approach. Instead of designing vehicles around a fixed chassis, REE integrates all critical drive components—motors, steering, suspension, and braking—into the wheel arches. This leaves a flat, open floor that acts as a “blank canvas” for manufacturers to build customized EVs. Co-founder and CEO Daniel Barel explains: “EVs, particularly e-delivery vehicles, are in huge demand, with growth drivers including global carbon-emission regulatory policies coupled with booming e-commerce.” This modularity means logistics companies, fleet operators, and even passenger transport providers can tailor vehicles to their exact needs—whether it’s payload capacity, range, or design. By simplifying the architecture, REE reduces development time and cost, while enabling a diverse ecosystem of electric vehicles. In ...

Cruising in a Wearable Motorcycle Suit

Image
After crashing his own bike, content creator Jake Carlini decided to rethink mobility from the ground up. His solution? A wearable electric motorcycle suit that turns the rider into the machine. Instead of sitting upright, users ride in a planking position, strapped into a lightweight frame. The suit integrates: Repurposed bike parts for wheels, frame supports, and mechanical linkages. Electric motors mounted to drive the wheels. Battery pack fitted into the suit for power. Hand controls for acceleration and braking. The result is a motorized outfit where the rider becomes the chassis. It’s part cosplay, part engineering experiment, and a bold vision of DIY mobility. Carlini’s invention shows how creativity can transform everyday parts into futuristic transport. Source : AI
