Tiny French EV tilts like bike, hits 71 mph, runs 124 miles per charge
AEMotion, a French e-mobility company, has introduced a compact electric microcar that uniquely combines motorcycle-like agility with the safety of a four-wheeled vehicle. This innovative EV features a tilting mechanism allowing the entire frame to lean up to 35 degrees in curves, enhancing dynamic handling. It is steered via handlebars and seats the driver and passenger in a tandem arrangement, reducing the vehicle’s width to just 31 inches (79 cm), ideal for navigating narrow urban streets. The microcar reaches a top speed of 71.5 mph (115 km/h) and offers a fixed battery range of 124 miles (200 km), with optional swappable battery packs providing an additional 43.5 miles (70 km) each. Safety is a key focus, with the vehicle meeting automotive-grade crash standards through the use of EPP bumpers, crash boxes, and an EPP-lined interior that acts like a passive airbag system. It also includes hydraulic disc brakes and

The article discusses an innovative inductive charging experiment underway in Bavaria, Germany, led by Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen Nürnberg (FAU) and partners including the Federal Autobahn and Israeli company Electreon. The project involves embedding copper coils beneath a one-kilometer stretch of the A6 highway near Nuremberg to wirelessly charge specially equipped electric vehicles as they drive or stop over the coils. This dynamic inductive charging system, similar in principle to wireless phone charging, aims to reduce reliance on large, expensive batteries and alleviate range anxiety by providing continuous power on the road with over 90% efficiency. Scheduled to begin testing in the second half of 2025, the E|MPOWER project seeks to evaluate both the technical performance and economic feasibility of integrating inductive charging into heavy goods transport infrastructure. Key goals include optimizing coil manufacturing and installation methods to lower costs and installation times. Bavarian officials and FAU leadership emphasize the potential of this technology to revolutionize e-mobility by enabling seamless
