Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than Waymo, Even With Human Safety Monitors
31 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tesla's robotaxis, operating with human safety monitors, have reportedly been involved in more crashes than Waymo's fully autonomous vehicles, according to internal documents and crash data reviewed by Mashable. The incidents raise concerns about Tesla's approach to autonomy, which differs from Waymo's more cautious, sensor-heavy strategy. Critics argue Tesla's system may be less reliable in complex urban environments.Rivian Delivers About 5,000 Electric Vans to Amazon Between July and October
30 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian's electric delivery vans are gaining traction, with about 35,000 now in active service with Amazon.

30 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Inductive wireless charging is transforming public transportation by enabling electric buses to charge while stopped or driving, eliminating range anxiety and maximizing uptime. Although challenges such as high installation costs and establishing standardized systems remain, wireless charging is considered a critical enabler for a zero-emission transit future.Transport for Humans: Are We Nearly There Yet?
30 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Transport for Humans by Rory Sutherland and Pete Dyson argues that transportation should prioritize human psychology over speed and efficiency. The book explores how perceived time, emotional comfort, and intuitive design shape travel satisfaction more than engineering metrics. With insights from behavioral science, it urges planners to "travel smarter, not faster" by designing systems that feel better, not just move quicker.Researchers Dismantle Tesla And BYD Batteries And Reveal "Surprising Results"
29 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Researchers dismantled Tesla and BYD EV batteries and found notable differences. Tesla's battery showed high energy density and modular design, while BYD's blade battery offered superior thermal stability and safety features. The study highlights trade-offs between performance and safety, suggesting that future EV battery innovation will depend on balancing energy output with durability and fire resistance.

Battle of the Boxes: Tokyo's Compact EV Showdown
30 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Why EVs Need Psychology More Than Horsepower
30 Oct 2025 | 
Rory Sutherland argues that behavioral science is key to EV adoption. In the Everything Electric podcast with Imogen Bhogal, he explains that range anxiety is psychological, not technical, and that emotional reassurance matters more than battery size. He advocates for longer test drives, intuitive design, and incentives that reflect real human behavior. The interview challenges engineering-first thinking and urges empathy-driven policy to accelerate the EV transition.
Signal Boosting the White House's Anti-Wind Campaign
30 Oct 2025 | 
Douglas McIntyre's video parrots RFK Jr.'s health claims about wind farms without evidence, echoing Trump-era attacks on renewables. By amplifying fringe concerns and ignoring scientific consensus, the video promotes misinformation that undermines climate policy and public trust. Wind energy is not the enemy - ignorance is.
Urban Connect: Modular Mobility Hubs for Transit-Rich Cities
29 Oct 2025 | 
Urban Connect is a modular micromobility hub concept design-ed for dense, transit-rich cities, not unlike that designed by EV World founder and editor-in-chief in 2018. With secure docking, solar charging, and smart tech integration, these hubs support shared and private e-vehicles while boosting public transit use. Deployment costs range from $25K to $75K, with benefits including reduced emissions, improved public health, and expanded access.
A Great Lakes Homecoming: Voltaic Marine Trades Silicon Forest for Michigan's Manufacturing Heartbeat
29 Oct 2025 | 
Voltaic Marine, an electric boat startup from Oregon, is relocating to Michigan after a $3M pre-seed round. Drawn by state grants and Detroit's manufacturing strength, the company will begin commercial production of its AEW24 wakeboat in 2026 with Detroit Manufacturing Systems and Kinetyc. The move reflects a broader trend: clean-tech firms prioritizing scalable infrastructure and policy support over coastal startup hubs.
