CleanTech Talk — EVs, Solar, Batteries, AI

Arthur Erickson is the founder and CEO of Hylio. A Texas native, he took his aerospace degree and moved into drone technology heavily. Potentially 15% of America’s farms have agricultural drones already as spotters or sprayers, and Hylio is big in the sprayer side already, delivering a product which is competing with DJI and John Deere very well. The conversation covered precision agriculture, radical energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, the competition, and the huge opportunities in agtech. Have a listen.

Bosch has been one of the most influential mechanical and electrical engineering firms of the last hundred years, and its work appears in just about everyone's cars, factories, and even kitchens. Now, it's also in your e-bikes, where Bosch is putting that cutting-edge expertise to work making e-bikes riders, and their homes, safer. Bosch General Manager of E-bike Systems, Claudia Wasko, joins Jo Borrás to talk e-bike batteries, li-ion batteries, and more!

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on clean technology and the pressing issue of climate change with author and expert, Michele Wucker. In this podcast, we delve into the concepts of "gray rhinos" and "black swans" as they relate to the current and future state of our planet. Wucker, author of "The Gray Rhino: How to Recognize and Act on the Obvious Dangers We Ignore," brings a unique perspective on how to navigate the overwhelming and often ignored risks of climate change. Tune in to gain valuable insights and actionable solutions for a sustainable future.

FREYR CEO Tom Jensen talks at length with CleanTechnica CEO Zach Shahan about its plans for battery gigafactories in Europe and the USA, these regions catching up to China in EV battery production (including the battery supply chain), and innovating in EV battery development and production.

The EV revolution needs one thing above all others: batteries. And batteries need lithium. Summit Nanotech CEO and Founder Amanda Hall talks with CleanTechnica about what she and her team are doing to help bring more lithium to the EV battery market.

Almost every decent electric car — and even some indecent ones — has a long waitlist these days. How many people are really just waiting for an electric car and delaying a new car purchase? How much is the auto industry being affected by this and blaming it on other things?

What do EVs from GM, Ford, Volvo, BMW, Rivian, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz have in common? If they came with a Level 2 home charger, Qmerit probably installed it. As the go-to installation partner for just about everyone in the EV space (except, of course, Tesla), Qmerit has a unique insight into the challenges facing a wide spectrum of EV buyers. Today, Qmerit founder and CEO Tracy Price talks about EV home charging with our own Jo Borras, and explains why so many OEMs have turned to them for help.

Part 2: Are you tired of hearing about big cleantech projects that never seem to come to fruition? Join us as we sit down with Bent Flyvbjerg, first BT Chair of major program management at Oxford, co-author of the upcoming book "How Big Things Get Done," and leading expert in the field of project management. He'll share his extensive research and data analysis on the methods and strategies used to successfully plan, execute and deliver large, complex projects such as infrastructure and transportation. Not only will he provide insights on how to overcome common challenges and pitfalls, but he'll also present a set of heuristics, or rules of thumb, that can be used to simplify and improve decision-making in large projects. Find out why wind and solar projects deliver to schedule, budget, and benefits so often, and nuclear projects so rarely. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to successfully deliver big cleantech projects.
