Rivian's electric delivery vans are gaining traction, with about 35,000 now in active service with Amazon. While Amazon remains a key investor, Rivian has opened sales to other commercial buyers - marking a strategic shift beyond exclusivity. The vans join Rivian's ALSO e-bike startup venture, including its quadracycle delivery platform, expanding its footprint in sustainable last-mile logistics and signaling broader ambitions in urban mobility30 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Inductive wireless charging is transforming public transportation by enabling electric buses to charge while stopped or driving, eliminating range anxiety and maximizing uptime. Although challenges such as high installation costs and establishing standardized systems remain, wireless charging is considered a critical enabler for a zero-emission transit future.30 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Transport for Humans by Rory Sutherland and Pete Dyson argues that transportation should prioritize human psychology over speed and efficiency. The book explores how perceived time, emotional comfort, and intuitive design shape travel satisfaction more than engineering metrics. With insights from behavioral science, it urges planners to "travel smarter, not faster" by designing systems that feel better, not just move quicker.29 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Researchers dismantled Tesla and BYD EV batteries and found notable differences. Tesla's battery showed high energy density and modular design, while BYD's blade battery offered superior thermal stability and safety features. The study highlights trade-offs between performance and safety, suggesting that future EV battery innovation will depend on balancing energy output with durability and fire resistance.28 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Chinese EV maker NIO has surpassed 90 million battery swaps, just 100 days after hitting 80 million. With over 100,000 swaps daily and 4.75 billion kWh dispensed, its network now powers the equivalent of 2.37 million households annually. NIO expects to reach 100 million swaps by January 2026. The company also delivered a record 87,071 vehicles in Q3 2025, with cumulative deliveries nearing 873,000.

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.

America's waves hold vast untapped energy - enough to power over half the nation's electricity needs. Yet wave power lags behind solar and wind. Devices must survive corrosive seas and violent storms, while no single design has emerged as dominant. Developers also face years of regulatory hurdles and high costs that deter investors. New test sites like Oregon's PacWave aim to prove the technology, offering hope that wave energy can finally move from promise to reality.

Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
