Post-quantum security protects electric vehicles from future quantum threats that could break current encryption. As EVs rely on secure software updates, telemetry, and identity systems, automakers are adopting quantum-resistant algorithms. With NIST's 2024 standards and cloud providers piloting migration, the shift is underway to safeguard long-lived vehicles and data. Drivers may not notice, but it's vital for safety and trust.01 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The Yangwang U9 Xtreme, BYD's electric hypercar, shattered the production speed record at 308.4 mph, surpassing Bugatti. Powered by a quad-motor e4 Platform delivering nearly 3,000 hp, it combines extreme speed with advanced torque vectoring and active suspension. Only 30 units will be built. Yangwang, a new Chinese luxury brand, signals China's rise in EV performance, challenging legacy supercar makers on their own turf.01 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Three vacuum cleaner companies—Henney, Dyson, and Dreame—each tried to build electric vehicles. Henney's Kilowatt (1959) was a 60-mile-range utility EV built on Renault gliders. Dyson's N526 SUV promised 600 miles and luxury tech but was canceled after £500M due to cost. Dreame now aims to launch a Bugatti-style hypercar by 2027. All pursued innovation through motor expertise, but only Dreame's dream still lives.30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Republican Party's zealous defense of fossil fuels (like coal) and opposition to clean energy are deeply irrational and driven by "fossilized stupidity" and political tribalism, not economic sense or scientific reality. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman asserts that this stance ignores the rapid technological progress making renewables competitive and the urgent need to address climate change, effectively embracing a "death wish" for the planet to appease special interests.30 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study, entitled "Mortality caused by tropical cyclones in the United States" and published in Nature, reveals that excess deaths in the Southeastern U.S. are linked not to disasters themselves, but to long-term economic and health impacts from repeated exposure to climate shocks. New research shows these "invisible deaths" stem from systemic vulnerability, poor infrastructure, and underinvestment in recovery, to date taking more lives than all America's wars combined.

America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.

The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.

Audi's Concept C previews a refined electric GT built on the mature PPE platform, likely arriving by 2026. Chevrolet's Corvette EV promises supercar performance but faces packaging and thermal challenges. Audi is closer to production; Corvette remains in early development. Both reflect divergent strategies in electrifying legacy sports cars, with Audi emphasizing platform maturity and Chevrolet pursuing brand continuity through engineering innovation.

Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.

A recent BGR article overstates EV tire costs and ignores fuel savings, regenerative braking, and tire tech advances. Most EV drivers spend ~$2,100–$2,700 on tires over 100,000 miles - not $3,600. EVs save thousands in fuel and benefit from smoother wear profiles. Brands like Goodyear and Michelin now offer EV-specific tires with longer life and better efficiency. The article lacks context and deserves correction.
