Car enthusiasts have been bolting carbon fiber wheels onto high performance vehicles for years. But, the hitherto luxury add-on brings real benefits to vehicle weight and energy economy, both of which have a new importance in the age of EVs.

This week, we speak with Carbon Revolution CEO Jake Dingle. Carbon Revolution is working to scale up its carbon fiber wheel production to provide the wheels as a mass-produced staple in the industry.

It announced a $270 million combination with Twin Ridge Capital Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:TRCA) in November to accelerate these plans.

He describes the major business advantages in bumping up from the ASX to a US exchange and how the transaction has opened up new financing doors even while it is pending close.
