Huawei has launched the world's first 100-megawatt EV charging station in Sichuan, China, capable of charging a Tesla in just two minutes. Built for electric heavy-duty trucks, the $21 million facility spans 11.5 acres, supports 700 vehicles daily, and features ultra-fast chargers up to 1.44 MW. Developed with Yuanqi Xingguang, it marks a major leap in EV infrastructure and positions China at the forefront of ultra-high-capacity charging innovation.04 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Global EV sales surged nearly 29% from January to July 2025, led by China's BYD with 2.2 million units. Geely overtook Tesla for second place, growing 70% to 1.13 million units, while Tesla's sales fell 13%. Hyundai ranked seventh, boosted by models like the Ioniq 5 and Casper Electric. China dominated with 63% of global EV sales, followed by Europe and North America. Market shifts reflect rising demand for affordable and localized electric vehicles.04 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
JetZero's Z4 aircraft, developed with SHZ Advanced Technologies, uses cryogenic liquid hydrogen and a blended-wing design to achieve zero-emission flight. Capable of carrying 250 passengers over 9,000 km, it burns hydrogen in modified jet turbines, emitting only water vapor. While infrastructure and safety challenges remain, the Z4 represents a major leap toward sustainable, long-haul aviation.04 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The Sialia 45 is a 15-meter electric cruiser that challenges conventional expectations of range and performance. Built with lightweight carbon fiber and powered by advanced battery systems, it offers silent, zero-emission cruising with luxury features. Designed for day trips or short coastal voyages, it represents a new class of sustainable yachting without sacrificing comfort or style.04 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Electronmash, based in Lviv, continues producing electric trams, buses, and trolleybuses despite wartime disruption. Focused on Ukraine's domestic market, it supplies cities with modular, low-floor vehicles tailored to local needs. Though resilient and EU-compatible, it faces stiff competition from European manufacturers like Solaris and VDL. Post-war, it could play a key role in regional electrified transit.03 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Audi's Concept C is a bold electric roadster that redefines the brand’s design and performance ethos. Inspired by Bauhaus minimalism and motorsport heritage, it features a dual-motor PPE platform, 89kWh battery, and over 300 miles of range. Slated for 2027 production, it positions Audi as a premium EV innovator, countering tech-heavy rivals with emotional clarity and radical simplicity.02 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Over 85 scientists condemned a Trump Administration climate report for misrepresenting data and downplaying climate threats. Critics say it mimics the "tobacco strategy" - manufacturing doubt to delay action - by cherry-picking evidence and bypassing peer review. Led by fossil fuel allies, the Department of Energy's review promotes fossil fuel industry interests and could influence future policy despite broad scientific rejection.02 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Honda's EV Fun Concept, nicknamed "Ride the Wind," marks the brand's debut into full-size electric motorcycles. Revealed without camouflage, the sleek matte-black sportbike features CCS2 fast charging, urban-ready range, and minimalist styling. Developed by Masatsugu Tanaka, it reflects Honda's push toward electrification and is set to challenge rivals like Zero and LiveWire in the commuter EV segment.02 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The article recommends used EVs like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, and Fiat 500e as smart first cars for teens due to low prices (often under $10K), safety tech, and limited range that keeps teens close to home. These models are widely available, easy to maintain, and offer features like app-based tracking. Overall, they're practical, budget-friendly choices for new drivers, but also check with your insurer since EVs can have higher premiums.01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Hydrogen-powered inland vessels have begun operating in the Netherlands, notably the H2 Barge 2 retrofitted with fuel-cell and electric propulsion. Operating between Rotterdam and inland terminals, it completes ~100 round trips yearly, cutting about 2,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Funded under the EU's Zero Emission Ports North Sea (ZEM Ports) project, the initiative highlights hydrogen's promise for clean maritime transport - but widespread adoption still faces cost and incentive obstacles.01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
India's EV sector is rapidly evolving beyond headline makers like Tesla and BYD, developing a homegrown ecosystem. Local startups and incumbents are advancing battery tech, charging networks, and deep-tech innovation. Government support -including FAME II, PLI schemes, and customs exemptions - is boosting domestic manufacturing, startups, and infrastructure. While global attention lingers on foreign brands, India's EV ecosystem is quietly maturing with scale and resilience.01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The energy transition is more than tech or economics—it’s reshaping geopolitics. IEA's "Net Zero by 2050" imposes an all-out electrification, doubling electricity, zero-carbon, renewables, EV share leaps, industrial & building overhaul by 2050. This sparks an eco-ideological Cold War: a Sino-European green entente vs an axis of petrostates (U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia) resisting decarbonization
