Chevy Bolt owners can now access Tesla Superchargers using GM's NACS-to-CCS adapter. After purchasing the dongle ($200–$300), download the Tesla app, link a payment method, and locate compatible stations. Charging to 80% costs around $20–$26. The adapter plugs into the Bolt’s front-left port, and etiquette matters—never block multiple stalls. This marks a major step toward EV charging interoperability and convenience.27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
VinFast is launching a nationwide battery swapping network in Vietnam, aiming to deploy 150,000 stations to support its electric scooter expansion. Timed with National Day, the initiative includes new incentives and infrastructure to accelerate EV adoption. The swap stations offer fast, convenient battery replacement, reinforcing VinFast's push for sustainable urban mobility and positioning Vietnam as a leader in electric transport innovation.27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept EV achieved 25 performance records during an eight-day testing campaign at Italy's Nardo Ring. Two prototypes covered over 24,855 miles, with one achieving 3,404 miles in 24 hours. Equipped with an 850 kW DC fast charger, the GT XX gains 124 miles of range in 10 minutes. Powered by a 1,360 hp all-electric powertrain, the GT XX demonstrates Mercedes' dedication to pushing the boundaries of EV performance.27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Eurostar aims to run on 100% renewable electricity by 2030, sourcing from wind, solar, storage, and low-carbon nuclear. Uber's planned train service is expected to follow suit as both rely on UK–EU grids. A London–Paris train trip emits just 2–11 kg CO₂e per passenger versus 50–120 kg by plane, while door-to-door times are comparable (3.5–4h by train vs. 4–5h by air). This makes high-speed rail both cleaner and faster city-centre to city-centre.27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The BYD Yangwang U9, a high-performance electric vehicle, boasts an impressive 2,959 horsepower.

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.
