 A new study finds battery electric vehicles now have the lowest lifetime carbon emissions of any car type across every U.S. county, regardless of grid mix or driving habits. Researchers analyzed 35 vehicle configurations and confirmed EVs outperform hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and gas cars - even when carrying cargo. Grid decarbonization and improved efficiency have made EVs the most climate-friendly choice nationwide.

 JetZero's Z4 aircraft, developed with SHZ Advanced Technologies, uses cryogenic liquid hydrogen and a blended-wing design to achieve zero-emission flight. Capable of carrying 250 passengers over 9,000 km, it burns hydrogen in modified jet turbines, emitting only water vapor. While infrastructure and safety challenges remain, the Z4 represents a major leap toward sustainable, long-haul aviation.

  EVWorld Exclusive30 Oct 2025 |  Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.

30 Oct 2025 |  Rory Sutherland argues that behavioral science is key to EV adoption. In the Everything Electric podcast with Imogen Bhogal, he explains that range anxiety is psychological, not technical, and that emotional reassurance matters more than battery size. He advocates for longer test drives, intuitive design, and incentives that reflect real human behavior. The interview challenges engineering-first thinking and urges empathy-driven policy to accelerate the EV transition.

29 Oct 2025 |  Voltaic Marine, an electric boat startup from Oregon, is relocating to Michigan after a $3M pre-seed round. Drawn by state grants and Detroit's manufacturing strength, the company will begin commercial production of its AEW24 wakeboat in 2026 with Detroit Manufacturing Systems and Kinetyc. The move reflects a broader trend: clean-tech firms prioritizing scalable infrastructure and policy support over coastal startup hubs.
