    85. The Future of EVs: Hydrogen Hybrids and Plug & Play Platform

    Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss Deep Drive, a startup from the Technical University of Munich developing a scalable 'plug and play' EV platform with integrated wheel motors to reduce weight and cost. They then analyze a concept vehicle from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) that combines hydrogen fuel cells with battery electric technology to achieve over 620 miles of range for interurban travel. The conversation covers the engineering challenges of lightweighting, the viability of hydrogen infrastructure, and the potential for modular platforms to lower barriers for commercial and hobbyist EV adoption.
