Norway's Ferry Operator Norled Could Have Saved Money & Staff by Skipping Hydrogen
21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Norway's ferry operator Norled lost €85M after investing in hydrogen ferries like MF Hydra, which cost more to build and operate than battery-electric or diesel alternatives. Hydrogen fuel is expensive, inefficient, and emits more CO2 than expected - double that of diesel and 40x more than electric. Battery ferries like MF Nesvik prove cheaper, cleaner, and more practical. Critics say Norled's hydrogen gamble cost jobs and failed to deliver strategic value.Archer Beats Out Joby for Lilium eVTOL Patents
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
US-based Archer Aviation acquired 300 patents from bankrupt German eVTOL firm Lilium for $21M, beating Joby, its competitor. The deal includes ducted fan tech, aircraft design, and battery systems. Archer plans to expand beyond air taxis into cargo, defense, and sport aviation. Lilium's collapse reflects broader industry consolidation, as well-funded players absorb assets from struggling startups. Lilium spent more than $1.5 billion developing these technologies.Rebooting the 2027 Chevy Bolt Was More Complex Than You'd Think
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The 2027 Chevy Bolt retains its familiar look but features a nearly complete electrical overhaul. Built on GM's Global B architecture, it supports OTA updates and advanced driver aids. It uses LFP batteries for ~255 miles of range and 150kW fast charging (10–80% in 26 minutes), plus Tesla's NACS port. Production shifts from Michigan to Kansas, reusing body tooling to cut costs. Target price is under $30K, with deliveries starting January 2027.A Power Outage Means You Can't Charge Your EV: What Do You Do?
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
If your power goes out, your home EV charging stops - but so do gasoline pumps, so you’re not at a unique disadvantage. Most outages are short: the average US user experienced under six hours of interruption in 2023. To prepare, keep your EV topped up (rather than waiting until very low), know public DC and Level-2 charging stations within about 25–50 miles, and if you have a generator, wiring for at least a trickle charge helps.
Stop Babying Your EV: Hard Acceleration Actually Extends Battery Life by 195K Miles
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
A study by Geotab found that electric vehicles (EVs) driven with frequent hard acceleration had battery lifespans extended by up to 195,000 miles. Contrary to common belief, gentle driving may not always benefit EV batteries. The research suggests that consistent, vigorous use helps maintain battery health by keeping cells active and balanced, challenging assumptions about EV driving habits.

Mining's PR Mirage: Why Sandvik's Metal-Free EV Is a Clever Illusion
27 Oct 2025 | Sandvik's "eNimon" sculpture - a nonfunctional EV made without metals - is a PR stunt, not innovation. Framed as a warning against anti-mining sentiment, it sidesteps real concerns about environmental harm and responsible extraction. While EVs require mined materials, most offset their production emissions within 1-2 years. The campaign oversimplifies the debate, mocking critics instead of addressing how mining can evolve. It's a clever illusion - but one that dodges accountability.
Infinite Machine: Design-Driven Urban EVs with European Aspirations
27 Oct 2025 | 
Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based EV startup, unveiled its P1 scooter and Olto moped at EICMA 2025, targeting European urban riders. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nico Rosberg, the company blends design and performance but has yet to confirm production or deliveries. With prototypes and press buzz, it's not vaporware - but remains unproven. European rollout begins in 2026 via select dealers.
The Uncomfortable Truth Behind Our Push For Clean Tech
27 Oct 2025 | 
China's rare earth export controls are forcing the West to reshore toxic industries once outsourced. Mining and refining rare earths - essential for EVs and defense - carry major environmental risks. Projects in Nebraska and Wyoming face local opposition over health and pollution concerns. The West must now balance its need for green tech materials with the challenge of minimizing environmental and public health impacts at home. Clean energy, it turns out, has a dirty supply chain.
Toyota Century: Electrified Prestige and Philosophical Pivot
27 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's Century project marks a bold leap into ultra-luxury EV territory, challenging Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Cadillac with Japanese craftsmanship and electrified ambition. Once a domestic icon, the Century now signals Toyota's intent to globalize prestige mobility - quietly, deliberately, and with high-voltage precision.
Unlocking Heat's Hidden Potential: How a Nanoscale Discovery Could Transform Everyday Tech
24 Oct 2025 | 
A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.
