Inverters, S Curves & Curiosity ft. Matt Hortop of AVL
This episode is sponsored by AVL, a leading mobility technology company recognized globally for its engineering, simulation, and testing solutions in the automotive industry.
Matt Hortop, Electrified Vehicle Research Scientist at AVL Test Systems, joined Carl Anthony at the 2025 Reimagine Mobility Conference. During their reception fireside chat, Matt expanded on a few key points regarding vehicle electrification:
-- Headlines Versus Headwinds: Although total combined power outputs are attention-grabbing, behind the scenes, engineers once contended with less-than-desirable testing equipment for validating critical EV system components.
-- Time Savings Bank: Matt and his colleagues work diligently to save AVL customers time and resources in the long run, ultimately allowing them more opportunities for innovation.
-- EVs & The S Curve: EVs open up new opportunities for consumers to experience vehicle ownership (i.e., software-defined cars). With each product iteration comes a new and different way for drivers to interact with their vehicles. These changes, whether for the powertrain technology or the owner’s experience inside the car, necessitate a more rigorous testing and development process.
-- Stay Curious: Matt encourages all automotive professionals to ask lots of questions and take prediction timelines with a grain of salt.
