Munich-based Deepdrive is testing advanced in-wheel and dual-rotor EV motors that promise up to 20% greater efficiency and major space savings. Backed by Volkswagen and BMW, the startup aims for small-series production by 2028. Their patented twin-rotor design reduces weight and material use, offering compact, cost-effective performance. Trials with Tesla and BMW prototypes suggest a breakthrough in EV propulsion is near.23 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Isuzu will test its ERGA EV autonomous bus in Hiratsuka City from October 2025 to January 2026. The bus features a 242kWh battery, 250kW output, and 68-passenger capacity. Equipped with LiDAR, radar, and cameras, it supports Level 2 autonomous driving. The pilot includes nighttime operations and cashless fares. Debuting at the Japan Mobility Show, it marks a step toward digitized, zero-emission public transit.23 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Nissan's Sakura EV gains a solar upgrade with the Ao-Solar Extender, a roof-mounted system that adds up to 3,000 km of annual range. It charges while driving or parked, with an extendable panel boosting output to 500W. The system reduces grid reliance, lowers cabin heat, and can serve as emergency power. Debuting at Japan Mobility Show 2025, it reflects Nissan's push for sustainable, self-sufficient mobility in the Kei segment.23 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian has unveiled the TM-B, its first electric bike, priced at $2,799. Designed for urban and trail use, it features a 750W motor, 28 mph top speed, and 80-mile range. The TM-B includes a removable battery, integrated lighting, and a rugged aluminum frame. Rivian also partnered with Helme for a matching smart helmet. The launch marks Rivian's expansion beyond trucks and SUVs into micromobility, targeting eco-conscious riders with premium design and performance.22 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Wolff Responds video analyzes why Tesla's Cybertruck became a $10 billion failure. Once hyped as a revolutionary EV, the Cybertruck faced stainless steel manufacturing issues, missed deadlines, broken promises, and rising costs. Wolff critiques Tesla's strategy, investor panic, and quality concerns, arguing the collapse signals deeper risks for the EV industry. It's not just a product flop - it's a warning for the electric future.

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.

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 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.

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, 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.
