Liquid Air Could Be the Clean Energy Storage Breakthrough the Planet Needs
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) cools and compresses air into a liquid, storing renewable energy for later use. It's scalable, low-impact, and ideal for balancing intermittent sources like wind and solar. When demand rises, the liquid air is warmed, expands, and drives turbines to generate electricity. LAES could be a breakthrough for clean energy storage with 50-70% efficiency, offering long-duration capacity without geographic limits or toxic materials.Toyota's Chairman Said That EVs Pollute More Than Hybrids Do, So Here's What Research Says
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda claims EVs pollute more than hybrids due to battery production and Japan's fossil-fuel-heavy grid. Researchers counter that EVs offset their higher initial emissions after 20,000-28,000 miles and outperform hybrids long-term - even on coal-heavy grids. Studies show EVs emit less CO2 per mile and will improve further with battery recycling.What If BMW Stopped Making Electric Cars? The Harsh Reality Behind That Idea
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
If BMW quit making EVs, it would face regulatory bans, lose tech leadership, alienate younger buyers, and shrink its market share. EVs drive growth, innovation, and brand relevance. Abandoning them would hurt perception, supply chains, and investor confidence. BMW's legacy is built on progress - ditching electrification would erase that identityPlummeting Battery Prices Will Push BEVs Below Parity Soon
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Battery costs are falling so fast that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could reach price parity with internal combustion vehicles within 2-4 years in Europe, and in China some models have already done so. The author expects battery pack costs to drop ~70% over the next five years, which would allow automakers to slash BEV retail prices while maintaining margins. That shift may force more aggressive pricing competition and encourage faster EV adoption.GM Bets Big On Electric Cars Even As Market Slows
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite a slowing EV market, GM remains committed to its electric strategy, citing strong sales growth and expanded market share currently at 17.2% YTD. It offers a wide EV lineup of some 30 models, but has paused some production and laid off workers amid shifting demand. While GM scrapped its all-EV pledge by 2035 and backed regulatory rollbacks, it is reintroducing the affordable Chevy Bolt and aims to balance EV accessibility with profitability.

BYD's CTB Tech Turns the Battery Into the Backbone
22 Oct 2025 | 
BYD's Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology integrates the battery into the vehicle's structure, boosting stiffness, safety, and packaging efficiency. Unlike traditional EVs, the Blade Battery becomes part of the car's floor, enabling sleeker design and fewer components. Though serviceability and recycling pose challenges, CTB marks a bold shift in EV architecture - one that rivals are watching closely.
My EV Is a Brick: When Software Locks Out the Driver
22 Oct 2025 | 
A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?
BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
Model Y Competitor? NIO's Onvo L60 Is Affordable EV for the Masses
21 Oct 2025 | 
The Onvo L60 is a mid-size electric SUV from NIO's ONVO brand, designed for families and priced to undercut the Tesla Model Y. It offers up to 462 hp, 525 km range, and supports battery swapping via NIO's Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), lowering upfront cost to ~$21,200. Full ownership with battery is ~$29,300. Exports to Europe begin in 2025. With smart tech, spacious design, and flexible pricing, it signals China's EV push into the global mainstream.
From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers
21 Oct 2025 | 
Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.
