Ozarks Shootout 2025: Speed, Safety, and the Rise Recreational Electric Marine Propulsion
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The 2025 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout drew over 100,000 spectators and crowned Darana Hybrid's 242 mph turbine catamaran as Top Gun. While electric boats weren't in the top tier, Vision Marine's 180 hp motor remains the fastest electric entry on record. Public concerns about shock risk are unfounded—marine-rated systems use GFCIs, ELCIs, and sealed connectors to ensure safe charging and operation. Electric propulsion is gaining ground, but infrastructure and perception still lag.Mercedes-Benz eCitaro: The Electric Bus Redefining European Public Transit
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Mercedes-Benz eCitaro is a leading European electric bus, evolving from a battery-only model to include a hydrogen fuel cell range extender. This dual strategy allows for strategic deployment: battery models for short city routes and fuel cell versions for long, demanding ones. This flexibility is key to its success in helping cities transition to zero-emission public transport.Renault Races Past Hydrogen with All-Electric Alpine Flagship
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Renault signals a bold pivot beyond hydrogen with Alpine's 470 hp electric 390 GTS. High hydrogen costs, poor infrastructure, and energy inefficiency drive the move toward scalable EVs. Unveiled by Renault and Alpine, the GTS blends luxury, performance, and national pride - boasting 345-mile range, premium design, and an "overtake" boost. It's a clear statement: France sees electrification as the future of high-performance mobility.Rivian CEO Says It 'Blows My Mind' That The US Auto Industry Is Reprioritizing Capital Toward Gas-Powered Vehicles
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe criticized continued U.S. investment in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, calling it a strategic mistake. He argued that pouring billions into gas-powered platforms delays progress and risks falling behind global EV leaders. Scaringe emphasized that electrification is inevitable and that legacy automakers must pivot faster to remain competitive in a rapidly shifting market.Electric Aviation's Summer Surge: Startups, Certification, and the Race to Redefine Flight
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Electric aviation is accelerating as startups like Joby, Archer, Ampaire, and ZeroAvia push toward FAA certification and commercial launch. New FAA rules streamline approval for powered-lift aircraft, while propulsion strategies—battery, hybrid, and hydrogen—diversify range and infrastructure needs. Despite regulatory hurdles, investor confidence and airline partnerships signal that 2025 may be the breakout year for sustainable flight.

Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | 
Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
Ferrari Elettrica: Electrified, Not Tamed
09 Oct 2025 | 
Ferrari's Elettrica EV delivers over 1,000 hp via quad motors, hitting 0-100 km/h in 2.5s with a 330+ mile range. Its 122 kWh battery sits low for balance, paired with active suspension and rear steering. Designed by LoveFrom, the four-door GT aims to preserve Ferrari's emotional DNA. Priced around $580K, it launches in 2026 in Europe and the U.S., with hybrids and ICE models still dominating until 2030
Are Self-Driving Cars Safer Than Humans? The Data May Surprise You
09 Oct 2025 | 
Studies show autonomous vehicles (AVs) are generally safer than human drivers, avoiding most rear-end and broadside crashes and performing better in poor weather. However, AVs struggle with complex maneuvers like unprotected turns and low-light conditions. If AVs are just 10% safer, they could prevent 600,000 U.S. deaths over 35 years. As EVs become autonomy platforms, safety depends on how well they interpret real-world scenarios
