A definitive life-cycle study by the ICCT confirms EVs in Europe are drastically cleaner than gas cars. Even including battery manufacturing, an EV's lifetime emissions are 66-69% lower. The initial "carbon debt" from production is repaid within just 1-2 years of driving. This environmental advantage is set to grow significantly as electricity grids become cleaner, validating pro-EV policies.04 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A new study from Chinese universities reveals hackers can track your EV. By analyzing your battery's unique "power fingerprint" at a public charger, they can reconstruct your exact driving routes, including home and work. This low-cost side-channel attack exposes a major privacy risk in the vehicle's battery management system, revealing a new frontier for automotive cybersecurity that goes beyond just software.04 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, which allows EVs to power the grid, faces significant roadblocks in Australia. The high cost and lack of compatible cars and chargers are key barriers. Unclear regulations, complex payment systems for EV owners, and consumer concerns about potential battery degradation are also hindering its widespread adoption. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial to unlocking V2G's potential to help stabilize the electricity grid.04 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
"Luke Kemp's essay argues societal collapses are rarely accidents but acts of "self-termination." Throughout history, civilizations have failed by clinging to unsustainable practices for short-term gain, even when facing clear environmental threats. He posits our modern world is repeating this pattern with the climate crisis, suggesting our inability to change course is a form of collective, self-inflicted demise, not an unavoidable fate..and global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished."02 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Canadian startup Beachman's '64 is a $4,800 retro electric café racer for city riders. Offering up to 70 miles range, three ride modes (20-45 mph), and removable batteries, it blends 1960s styling with modern EV practicality. Heavy for bike lanes and limited for highways, it skips high-tech frills for simplicity, quick charging, and vintage charm - making it a standout in the affordable electric two-wheeler market.

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.

America's waves hold vast untapped energy - enough to power over half the nation's electricity needs. Yet wave power lags behind solar and wind. Devices must survive corrosive seas and violent storms, while no single design has emerged as dominant. Developers also face years of regulatory hurdles and high costs that deter investors. New test sites like Oregon's PacWave aim to prove the technology, offering hope that wave energy can finally move from promise to reality.

Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
