For the US EV Market, The Training Wheels Are Off. Tesla Will Survive. Who Else Will?
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
As U.S. EV incentives phase out, automakers face a tougher market. Tesla leads with 43.1% EV share, but GM gains ground with 13.8%, thanks to a broad lineup and low incentives. Ford lags at 6.6%, struggling despite heavy investment. The industry braces for slower growth, signaling a shift from government support to market-driven competition. Survival now depends on scale, innovation, and execution.Nio Firefly Launches New 'Night Creature' Special Edition EV Model
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Nio's sub-brand Firefly launched the Night Creature Special Edition of its EV, limited to 666 units. Priced at RMB 136,800 ($19,170), it features exclusive black paint, white decals, alloy wheels, a g-force handling kit with red high-stiffness springs, and an illuminated NFC card. Deliveries begin October 23. The release follows August’s Nomadic Maillard edition, boosting brand buzz in China’s competitive EV market.The New Toyota Corolla Makes a Surprise Appearance
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota has unveiled a sleek new Corolla concept ahead of its official debut at the Japan Mobility Show later this October. The design features a charging port door on the front fender, strongly suggesting a plug-in hybrid or fully electric powertrain. This marks a bold shift for the iconic Corolla nameplate, signaling Toyota’s move toward electrification. Full details will be revealed at the Tokyo event.Hear Me Out: Instead of Faster Chargers, We Should Lobby for Slower Gas Pumps
12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tongue-in-cheek article argues that instead of demanding faster EV chargers, we should slow down gas pumps to equalize refueling times, while reducing evaporative emissions. It highlights how EV charging is often criticized for being slower than gas refueling, but reframes the issue by suggesting that slowing gas pumps would make EVs seem just as convenient if not more so. The piece uses satire to challenge perceptions and promote EV adoption.The Worrisome Trend of the eVTOL Business Model
12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
eVTOL aircraft face serious business viability issues. GlobeAir's CEO stated there's "no business case" for wide-scale adoption after a failed Lilium partnership. The main problem: battery technology and lack of charging infrastructure at airports make operations economically unviable with "insane" hourly battery replacement costs. Aviation is already a low-margin business, and experimental technology faces high insurance costs.

Electrification Is Not an Oversimplification
23 Oct 2025 | 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.
What Is the Real Cost to Replace EV Tires?
23 Oct 2025 | 
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.
The Battery Divide: Strategic Choices in the Global Race to Electrify Mobility
23 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's "1 EV = 90 hybrids" logic reflects lithium scarcity, but sodium-ion batteries challenge that premise. Sodium offers low-cost, abundant chemistry for short-range EVs, decoupling electrification from lithium dependence. National policy shapes adoption: Europe favors full EVs, the U.S. subsidizes hybrids, and emerging markets seek pragmatic solutions. The battery divide is not just technical - it's strategic, reshaping the future of mobility.
Irizar Expands Electric Bus Lineup with Global Reach and Long-Range Performance
22 Oct 2025 | 
Irizar has launched two new electric buses - the ie bus and i3 Normal Floor - with over 450 km range, advanced safety systems, and modular lithium-ion batteries. The Spanish manufacturer has delivered over 1,000 electric buses globally since 2014. The new models are lighter, seat up to 53 passengers, and meet European safety and cybersecurity standards. With deployments in Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, Irizar is positioned as a global leader in zero-emission transit.
Automakers Take Flight: eVTOL Partnerships and Launch Plans
22 Oct 2025 | 
Automakers are accelerating eVTOL development through strategic partnerships. Archer and Stellantis lead with FAA certification targeted for 2025. Joby and Toyota follow closely, planning launches in the U.S. and Dubai by 2026. Eve, backed by Embraer and Porsche, aims for dual certification in Brazil and the U.S. XPeng and Geely expand in China and the Middle East. Hyundai’s Supernal is paused, and BYD remains in stealth. These ventures blend aerospace innovation with automotive scale.
