New EV battery Tech Could Power Cars For Up To 1 million Kilometers
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"New single-crystal battery design may allow EVs to last 1 million kilometers while reducing waste and environmental damage"The heart of the problem lies in how these batteries charge and discharge...repeated charging and discharging causes the crystals to break apart. This weakens the structure and reduces the battery's ability to hold a charge...Unlike their multi-crystal counterparts, single-crystal materials are more resistant to damage..."
China's Clean Air Could Be Behind an Acceleration in Global Warming
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...new study reveals that reductions in air pollution – particularly in China and east Asia – are a key reason for this faster warming...There has already been a 75 percent reduction in east Asian sulphur dioxide emissions since around 2013"polluted air may have been masking the full effects of global warming. Cleaner air could now be revealing more of the human-induced global warming from greenhouse gases."
Cycling Can Be 4 Times More Efficient Than Walking. A Biomechanics Expert Explains Why
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"You can walk for an hour - or jump on your bicycle and arrive in 15 minutes, barely breaking a sweat."It's estimated that there are more than a billion bikes in the world. Cycling represents one of the most energy-efficient forms of transport ever invented
"When we walk or run, we essentially fall forward in a controlled manner...On a bicycle, your legs move through a much smaller, circular motion...The energy savings are immediately noticeable."
Three Years Of Daily Driving My 2022 Lucid Air Through The Rockies Taught Me An EV Secret
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Wayne Schell "drove his Lucid Air 71,000 miles through the Rockies and discovered an EV secret: climbing mountains drains the battery, but descending can recover over 100 miles of range."The difference between understanding EV range and mastering it is the same as knowing how to swim and being thrown into the deep end. Range anxiety isn't a bug of EVs; it's a stage in the learning curve."
The Amount of Electricity Generated From Solar Is Suddenly Unbelievable
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
New Yorker "magazine notes that renewables made up 96 percent of demand for new energy throughout the globe in 2024; In the United States, 93 percent of new energy capacity came from solar and wind."...it's now estimated that the world is now installing one gigawatt worth of solar energy infrastructure every 15 hours...This explosive growth has been fueled by huge efficiency gains in solar energy output, breakthroughs in manufacturing, and streamlined installation processes."

BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
Model Y Competitor? NIO's Onvo L60 Is Affordable EV for the Masses
21 Oct 2025 | 
The Onvo L60 is a mid-size electric SUV from NIO’s ONVO brand, designed for families and priced to undercut the Tesla Model Y. It offers up to 462 hp, 525 km range, and supports battery swapping via NIO’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), lowering upfront cost to ~$21,200. Full ownership with battery is ~$29,300. Exports to Europe begin in 2025. With smart tech, spacious design, and flexible pricing, it signals China's EV push into the global mainstream.
From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers
21 Oct 2025 | 
Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.
EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
