Whisper Aero Ultralight Aircraft Scores $500K For 'UltraQuiet' Electric Jet Motor Tests
29 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"It's effectively an electrically spun ducted fan jet engine that uses a large number of stiff composite fan blades inside a lightweight, acoustically treated duct. With so many blades, the Whisper Aero propulsor can push more air than a conventional prop while spinning much more slowly. "The Whisper Aero ultralight is [a] Aeriane Swift3 glider fitted with a pair of Whisper’'s eQ250 propulsors, each capable of up to 80 lbs. of thrust..."
E-REVs Could Unite A Divided America On Electric Vehicles
26 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"[R]ecent consumer study by McKinsey & Company revealed...as many as 76% of EV buyers plan to buy another EV as their next purchase, a 20% increase from last year...study adds that on average, the sentiment towards EVs has remained stagnant in the U.S. as the country remains deeply divided on EVs...As per the study, a bigger share of suburban, rural and older buyers showed an interest in range-extended EVs...E-REVs will cannibalize from combustion vehicles and regular hybrids, but not from fully electric models and plug-in hybrids."Now Kia EVs Can Use Newer Tesla's Superchargers
26 Apr 2025 | Synopsis

NOTE: older generation Tesla chargers not compatible."
Mercedes' New Paintwork Could Give EVs Thousands Of Extra Miles Of Range Per Year
26 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"The entire car body is coated with photovoltaic paint which generates electrical energy. This energy can be used immediately for driving or is stored in the battery when the vehicle is stationary"...94 percent of the energy from sunlight, through the paint, can help power your car...added energy could extend the range of an EV by 12,000KM or 7,456 miles...drivers in Stuttgart, Germany, cover an average of 52 kilometres a day. Around 62 per cent of this distance would be covered using solar energy."
EVs Could Charge 500% Faster In Sub-Freezing Weather Thanks To Simple New Manufacturing Trick
26 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"razor-thin layer of lithium borate-carbonate can lead to a 500% boost in charging rates when temperatures fall below freezing."University of Michigan "researchers were able to 'simultaneously achieve extreme fast charging at low temperatures, without sacrificing the energy density of the lithium-ion battery.'
"...in colder conditions, the electrolyte fluid thickens, reducing electrical currents and thereby extending charging time..."

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.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
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.
Rivian's Infotainment Revolution: AI at the Wheel, No Smartphone Required
11 Oct 2025 | 
Rivian's infotainment system replaces CarPlay with a native AI-powered interface backed by Amazon and Volkswagen. It offers smart navigation, voice control, music/video streaming, and cloud-based personalization. AM radio is excluded, prompting bipartisan legislation to mandate its return. Autonomous driving integration is planned, with updates rolling out in 2025 and full features expected in the R2 by 2026.
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.
