A viral video raised concerns about radiation exposure in Teslas, but experts say the fears are unfounded. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in EVs, including Teslas, are well below safety limits set by international guidelines. Studies show no evidence of harmful radiation from EVs, and Tesla vehicles comply with all regulatory standards. Experts emphasize that driving an EV poses no known radiation risk to passengers.
French startup Cixi has unveiled the Vigoz, a lightweight electric car that reaches 75 mph and features bicycle pedals to supplement battery charging.

The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
12 Oct 2025 | The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
