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.Renewable Energy Outpaces Coal For Electricity Generation In Historic First, Report Says
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
In the first half of 2025, renewable energy generated more global electricity than coal for the first time - 30% vs. 27%, per Ember. Solar and wind led the surge, especially in China and India. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it a "historic opportunity," urging nations to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels and embrace a clean energy future powered by investment and equity.

Tesla's Swedish Standoff: When Silicon Valley Meets Union Solidarity
29 Oct 2025 | 
Tesla faces a prolonged labor strike in Sweden over its refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement. What began with 70 mechanics has grown into a nationwide solidarity movement, challenging Tesla's anti-union stance. The dispute highlights a clash between Silicon Valley individualism and Nordic labor consensus, raising global questions about the future of work, electrification, and corporate accountability.
Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
28 Oct 2025 | 
France's A10 motorway now features a live inductive charging lane, letting EV trucks gain 1.5–3 km of range while driving. Similar pilots in Germany and Italy use embedded coils, while Sweden's eRoadArlanda powers trucks via overhead or in-road conductive systems. These dynamic charging projects aim to reduce battery size, cut downtime, and enable continuous freight operation - signaling a shift toward electrified logistics corridors across Europe.
Bako Motors: Tunisia's Solar EV Startup Expands Across Africa and the Gulf
