Europeans on much lower salaries can build wealth more effectively than Americans on higher salaries due to socialized or capped big-ticket expenses. The article highlights that Europeans benefit from minimal costs for healthcare, education, and childcare. Additionally, affordable public transport reduces the need for expensive car ownership, and legally mandated paid leave provides a significant, guaranteed financial benefit not common in the U.S
Kingsmill Bond argues the West is deluding itself about the energy transition. The "electrotech revolution" led by solar, batteries, and EVs is already here, advancing exponentially, and is cheaper than fossil fuels. While emerging markets are embracing this, the West risks being left behind by its outdated assumptions and a linear mindset toward change.
XCharge North America has partnered with Ascentium Capital to offer a leasing program for DC fast chargers, aimed at small businesses. This program allows businesses to install chargers, like the GridLink and C6 models, for an affordable monthly rate starting at $800, removing the need for a large upfront investment. The leasing package includes installation, equipment, warranties, and maintenance, and lets the business keep all the charging revenue.
Horse Powertrain's C15 is a compact, Euro 7-compliant gasoline generator designed for extended-range EVs. It activates only when battery charge drops, offering 70 kW for sedans and 120 kW for larger vehicles. While efficient, it still emits 120–140 g CO₂/km when active. Backed by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, Horse can mass-produce it—but OEM adoption is key. EREVs face pressure from falling battery costs and rising BEV capabilities.
EVs are central to a coming shift in mobility: by 2040, personal electric car ownership may disappear as automakers pivot to subscription-based, software-driven models. EVs will serve as platforms for autonomous fleets, shared transport, and tiered digital services. Younger users prefer access over ownership, and manufacturers are redesigning vehicles as connected devices - raising concerns over repair rights, data control, and user autonomy.
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.
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
Are Self-Driving Cars Safer Than Humans? The Data May Surprise You
09 Oct 2025 | Studies show autonomous vehicles (AVs) are generally safer than human drivers, avoiding most rear-end and broadside crashes and performing better in poor weather. However, AVs struggle with complex maneuvers like unprotected turns and low-light conditions. If AVs are just 10% safer, they could prevent 600,000 U.S. deaths over 35 years. As EVs become autonomy platforms, safety depends on how well they interpret real-world scenarios
