BMW has built its 3 millionth electrified vehicle - a 330e plug-in hybrid assembled in Munich. This milestone includes both EVs and plug-in hybrids. In the first half of 2025, over 25% of BMW's global deliveries were electrified. The company also recently produced its 1.5 millionth fully electric vehicle, a Mini Countryman SE. BMW expects electrified sales to keep growing as part of its tech-neutral strategy.
Telemetry's 2025 EV Charging Market Report reveals a surprising barrier to electrification: junky garages. One-third of U.S. homeowners can’t park in their own garages, limiting access to Level 2 charging. With 80% of EV charging done at home, cluttered spaces and costly installations threaten adoption. The report urges behavioral shifts and infrastructure investment to close the equity gap.
Chevy Bolt owners can now access Tesla Superchargers using GM's NACS-to-CCS adapter. After purchasing the dongle ($200–$300), download the Tesla app, link a payment method, and locate compatible stations. Charging to 80% costs around $20–$26. The adapter plugs into the Bolt’s front-left port, and etiquette matters—never block multiple stalls. This marks a major step toward EV charging interoperability and convenience.
VinFast is launching a nationwide battery swapping network in Vietnam, aiming to deploy 150,000 stations to support its electric scooter expansion. Timed with National Day, the initiative includes new incentives and infrastructure to accelerate EV adoption. The swap stations offer fast, convenient battery replacement, reinforcing VinFast's push for sustainable urban mobility and positioning Vietnam as a leader in electric transport innovation.
The Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept EV achieved 25 performance records during an eight-day testing campaign at Italy's Nardo Ring.

Powered by a 1,360 hp all-electric powertrain, the GT XX demonstrates Mercedes' dedication to pushing the boundaries of EV performance.
Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
