What's Keeping The Indian Middle Class From Driving An Electric Car?
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
India’s middle class is hesitant to adopt EVs due to high import prices, limited public charging, and range anxiety. Tesla’s Model Y costs ₹6M ($68K), far above mainstream affordability. Local production is key—Vietnam’s VinFast and India’s Tata Motors offer EVs closer to ₹1–2.3M. With EVs at just 5.3% market share, scaling infrastructure and lowering costs are critical for broader adoption.Small Modular Reactors and the Big Questions of Cost & Waste
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study by Kim and Macfarlane finds small modular reactors (SMRs) face steep cost overruns and complex waste challenges. Promised savings rely on mass production that hasn't materialized, while some SMR designs may generate 2–30× more waste per unit of energy. With few commercial deployments and high uncertainty, SMRs remain a high-risk option compared to proven clean technologies.Why EV World Supports the New Heatwave Attribution Study
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A peer-reviewed Nature study links 213 heatwaves since 2000 to human-caused climate change, showing emissions from 180 major fossil fuel and cement producers made 53 of them "virtually impossible" without global warming. The study uses EM-DAT data and attribution science to quantify how specific corporate emissions increased deadly heatwave risks, offering a scientific basis for accountability in climate-related harm.The UK, Netherlands, & California Have More EV Charging Ports Than Gas Pump Nozzles?
10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The UK, Netherlands, and California now have more public EV charging ports than gas pump nozzles, marking a symbolic shift in transportation infrastructure. This milestone reflects rapid growth in electrification, policy support, and consumer adoption. It signals that EVs are not just viable - they're becoming dominant in key regions leading the clean mobility transition.India's Altmin Lithium Project Becomes First To Join U.S.-Led Mineral Security Partnership
10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Altmin became the first Indian firm to join the U.S.-led Mineral Security Partnership, acquiring lithium refining technology from Brazil to build the world's first spodumene-to-battery-grade refinery outside China. Initiated under the Biden administration, the milestone strengthens India's clean energy supply chain and reduces dependence on Chinese processing.

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
28 Oct 2025 | 
Bako Motors is a Tunisian EV startup building solar-powered tricycles for last-mile logistics. Their vehicles are indigenous designs, not Chinese kits, with modular platforms and rooftop solar panels. Expanding into Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Qatar, Bako focuses on regional manufacturing and energy efficiency. The B1 model delivers up to 12 km/kWh of driving range efficiency, with simple lithium-ion batteries and low maintenance needs - ideal for emerging market fleets.
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.
