Fuel Cells in Cars Without a Future? - An Analysis
01 May 2025 | Synopsis
"It is something like the eternal undead among alternative drive systems...The lack of success is not due to the technology itself...registration figures for fuel cell vehicles are continuing to fall: while 900 cars with hydrogen technology were sold in 2022, the figure was only 260 in 2023 and just 150 last year...4,000 new fuel cell trucks are registered in China every year... But in the same period, 75,000 battery-electric trucks are put on the road..."Isuzu's First Electric Pickup Is Here And It's A Beast: Meet The New D-MAX EV
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"The electric pickup is nearly identical to Isuzu’s popular gas-powered D-MAX, but swaps the diesel powertrain for a pair of electric motors...""The dual-motor powertrain enables it to match the performance of existing diesel models, with a combined 188 hp (140 kW) and a maximum torque of 240 lb-ft...Powered by a 66.9 kWh battery, Isuzu's first electric pickup boasts a driving range of up to 263 km (162 miles) on the WLTP."
Fusion Reactor Called "Norm" Could Outperform Everything We've Built So Far
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"TAE Technologies claims its setup produces 100 times the power of other designs at half the cost, but the road to commercial fusion is littered with hype."... field-reversed configuration (FRC)—a setup that holds piping hot plasma in place without relying on the gigantic magnets seen in traditional fusion designs like tokamaks...Norm reduces the machine’s size, complexity, and cost by up to 50%..."
This New Range Extender Proves Gas Engines Are Far From Dead
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"The 'range extender' bit is a gas-powered engine, usually small and compact, mounted in the car to recharge the battery if there aren't any charging stations nearby."Range extenders are a better choice versus traditional plug-in hybrids, ZF argues, because they're cheaper to produce, require shorter development cycles, and use simpler supply chains...ZF's new range extender can be had in two flavors: eRE and eRE+."
UK Researchers Make Breakthrough On Revolutionary Fuel That Could Transform Wide Range Of Industries
30 Apr 2025 | Synopsis
"UK-based energy-tech company [Interesting Engineering] created a portable hydrogen generation module capable of producing up to 1,100 pounds of hydrogen daily [from ammonia]...Hy-5 can produce hydrogen with greater than 99.9% purity...a scalable and cost-effective way to produce hydrogen...Examples include manufacturing steel and cement glass, chemical production, hydrogen logistics, and off-grid EV charging with hydrogen fuel cell generators."

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.
Ferrari Elettrica: Electrified, Not Tamed
09 Oct 2025 | 
Ferrari's Elettrica EV delivers over 1,000 hp via quad motors, hitting 0-100 km/h in 2.5s with a 330+ mile range. Its 122 kWh battery sits low for balance, paired with active suspension and rear steering. Designed by LoveFrom, the four-door GT aims to preserve Ferrari's emotional DNA. Priced around $580K, it launches in 2026 in Europe and the U.S., with hybrids and ICE models still dominating until 2030
