14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"Ministry of Foreign Trade has received the first batch of Saudi-assembled Lucid Motors vehicles...the first tender documents were published at the end of May and covered shipments of Lucid vehicles to embassies and consulates."The first batch of countries includes Turkiye, Jordan, Hungary, Brazil, Egypt, the Philippines, Tunisia and Bangladesh.
"The EV maker is assembling both its Air and Gravity models at the facility in King Abdullah Economic City."
Gas Cars Will Start to Disappear Sooner Than You Think
12 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"It turns out that when a state approaches 30% new EV sales, that's the tipping point for the number of gas cars on the road falling...Each year, there are 15-16M new cars sold in the US, while 12M exit the road permanently"...we actually only have to get to 4M new EV sales per year nationally before the number of gas cars begins its inexorable decline. That's because 16M - 12M cars = 4M. Once EVs surpass that number, there will be fewer gas cars."
Sporty, Enclosed, Tilting Three-Wheeled EV May Be Your Next Not-A-Car
12 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...an 'intelligent balance system' lets the two rear wheels tilt along with the vehicle's main body when taking corners, boosting performance and stability.Scholten has already built three functional proof-of-concept prototypes, two of which utilized ZF75/7 electric drivetrains made by Zero Motorcycles...One charge of the 10- to 12-kWh lithium battery pack should be good for a range of 100 to 140 miles (161 to 225 km)..."
EV Revolution Reshapes Global Oil Demand
12 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
The electric vehicle revolution has moved from projection to reality. As more countries follow China's lead, oil demand - once considered immune to disruption - now faces irreversible decline in the transportation sector. If policy and investment continue at pace, the IEA expects 5 to 8 million barrels/day of oil demand could be erased by 2030. Nearly 40% of new cars globally may be electric by that time."
Prediction: Lucid Group Could Lose a $200 Million Revenue Source That Is Nearly 100% Profit
12 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"It's hard to be an EV producer. Over the last decade, more than 30 EV start-ups have either faced bankruptcy or quietly disappeared...Lucid is a prime example of this challenge. After nearly 20 years of operation, the company remains unprofitable"For years, EV manufacturers in the U.S. have accumulated a variety of federal and state regulatory credits for selling nonpolluting vehicles...last quarter, Lucid generated $31.5 million in revenue

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
28 Oct 2025 | 
France's A10 motorway now features a live inductive charging lane, letting EV trucks gain 1.5–3 km of range while driving. Similar pilots in Germany and Italy use embedded coils, while Sweden's eRoadArlanda powers trucks via overhead or in-road conductive systems. These dynamic charging projects aim to reduce battery size, cut downtime, and enable continuous freight operation - signaling a shift toward electrified logistics corridors across Europe.
Bako Motors: Tunisia's Solar EV Startup Expands Across Africa and the Gulf
28 Oct 2025 | 
Bako Motors is a Tunisian EV startup building solar-powered tricycles for last-mile logistics. Their vehicles are indigenous designs, not Chinese kits, with modular platforms and rooftop solar panels. Expanding into Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Qatar, Bako focuses on regional manufacturing and energy efficiency. The B1 model delivers up to 12 km/kWh of driving range efficiency, with simple lithium-ion batteries and low maintenance needs - ideal for emerging market fleets.
Mining's PR Mirage: Why Sandvik's Metal-Free EV Is a Clever Illusion
27 Oct 2025 | 
Sandvik's "eNimon" sculpture - a nonfunctional EV made without metals - is a PR stunt, not innovation. Framed as a warning against anti-mining sentiment, it sidesteps real concerns about environmental harm and responsible extraction. While EVs require mined materials, most offset their production emissions within 1-2 years. The campaign oversimplifies the debate, mocking critics instead of addressing how mining can evolve. It's a clever illusion - but one that dodges accountability.
Infinite Machine: Design-Driven Urban EVs with European Aspirations
27 Oct 2025 | 
Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based EV startup, unveiled its P1 scooter and Olto moped at EICMA 2025, targeting European urban riders. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nico Rosberg, the company blends design and performance but has yet to confirm production or deliveries. With prototypes and press buzz, it's not vaporware - but remains unproven. European rollout begins in 2026 via select dealers.
