Plummeting 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.Thought The Yangwang Was Fast? These Are The 32 Fastest EVs On The Planet

The fastest is BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme at 308.4mph for production cars, while Japan's L0 maglev train tops all at 375mph. The list showcases global EV speed innovation across all transport modes. Three are friends of EV World.Clear Skies Ahead - Delta Partners With Maeve On M80 Hybrid Regional Aircraft
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Delta Air Lines Delta is partnering with Maeve to develop the M80, a hybrid-electric regional aircraft aiming for 40% fuel savings. It uses electric motors to spin exterior fan blades, powered by batteries recharged via onboard turbine engines that also provide thrust. This setup reduces emissions on short-haul routes. Maeve targets a 2031 launch, with Delta's support signaling growing airline interest in sustainable aviation.

A Great Lakes Homecoming: Voltaic Marine Trades Silicon Forest for Michigan's Manufacturing Heartbeat
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.
A Different Kind of Crop Duster
29 Oct 2025 | 
Pyka designs and manufactures autonomous electric aircraft for agricultural and cargo applications. Their Pelican 2 crop sprayer utilizes hot-swappable batteries and advanced sensors for efficient and precise spraying. Having received the first FAA approval for a large autonomous electric aircraft, Pyka has introduced the Pelican Cargo variant and develops its core technology internally.
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.
