The West is Driving in the Rearview Mirror: A Wake-Up Call from the Electrotech Revolution
24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Kingsmill Bond argues the West is deluding itself about the energy transition. The "electrotech revolution" led by solar, batteries, and EVs is already here, advancing exponentially, and is cheaper than fossil fuels. While emerging markets are embracing this, the West risks being left behind by its outdated assumptions and a linear mindset toward change.XCharge NA Is Now Leasing DC Fast Chargers To Small Businesses
24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
XCharge North America has partnered with Ascentium Capital to offer a leasing program for DC fast chargers, aimed at small businesses. This program allows businesses to install chargers, like the GridLink and C6 models, for an affordable monthly rate starting at $800, removing the need for a large upfront investment. The leasing package includes installation, equipment, warranties, and maintenance, and lets the business keep all the charging revenue.Realistic Assessment: Horse Powertrain's C15 Engine and the Future of EV
22 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Horse Powertrain's C15 is a compact, Euro 7-compliant gasoline generator designed for extended-range EVs. It activates only when battery charge drops, offering 70 kW for sedans and 120 kW for larger vehicles. While efficient, it still emits 120–140 g CO₂/km when active. Backed by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, Horse can mass-produce it—but OEM adoption is key. EREVs face pressure from falling battery costs and rising BEV capabilities.In Just 15 Years, No One Will Own an Electric Car - Here's What Will Replace Them Instead
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
EVs are central to a coming shift in mobility: by 2040, personal electric car ownership may disappear as automakers pivot to subscription-based, software-driven models. EVs will serve as platforms for autonomous fleets, shared transport, and tiered digital services. Younger users prefer access over ownership, and manufacturers are redesigning vehicles as connected devices - raising concerns over repair rights, data control, and user autonomy.US Firm Bids To Bring 'Flying Boats' to Scottish Islands Transport Network
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
US firm Regent is partnering with Scotland’s Hitrans to explore using electric "flying boats" called Seagliders for island transport. These vessels combine boat, hydrofoil, and low-altitude flight technologies, reaching speeds up to 180 mph. A 12-passenger model may launch in Orkney by 2026–2027, with a larger version planned for 2030. The project aims to improve connectivity and reduce emissions across the Highlands and Islands.

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.
