Are UBC developing other products for the automotive market?

In our Innovation Hub we are looking at the next generation of EV powertrains to give longer range and faster charging times and to even out demands on the electrical infrastructure. If everyone today had an EV and tried to recharge it between 5pm and 7pm, it is very likely that the electric grid would be overloaded and the lights would go out.
