Ford CEO Jim Farley warns that U.S. EV sales could drop by half following the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit, citing high vehicle costs and reduced consumer demand. Ford is shifting focus to hybrids and more affordable EVs, while some dealers see the change as a chance to test market strength without subsidies. The industry faces uncertainty as it adapts to a post-incentive landscape.02 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Scotland's Glen Sannox ferry, launched as a “green” LNG-powered vessel, emits more greenhouse gases than its diesel predecessor due to underestimated methane slip. Despite improved local air quality, real-world data shows LNG's climate impact is worse over short timeframes. The project highlights how optimistic assumptions and delayed construction turned a sustainability effort into a cautionary tale about transitional fuels and lifecycle emissions.02 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Science Under Siege asserts the undermining of science is not accidental but largely driven by ideological, economic, and political forces. It points fingers at special interests, political actors, and media amplifying doubt for gain. It also critiques how scientists themselves sometimes contribute by failing to communicate clearly or by letting funding and institutional pressures interfere with objectivity. The result: erosion of public trust, polarized discourse, and weakened science-based policy.01 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
PNY's Ponie P2, the world's first electric cargo motorcycle, completed successful trials across Tel Aviv, Milan, and other urban locations with partners like DHL and postal services. Manufactured in Israel, the P2 features a top speed of 100 km/h, high payload capacity, modular cargo options, and a 160 km range. Compared to gas-powered delivery vehicles used by Wolt - a Finnish delivery platform - it offers lower fuel and maintenance costs, making it a cost-effective, zero-emission solution for last-mile logistics.01 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Post-quantum security protects electric vehicles from future quantum threats that could break current encryption. As EVs rely on secure software updates, telemetry, and identity systems, automakers are adopting quantum-resistant algorithms. With NIST's 2024 standards and cloud providers piloting migration, the shift is underway to safeguard long-lived vehicles and data. Drivers may not notice, but it's vital for safety and trust.

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.

China's rare earth export controls are forcing the West to reshore toxic industries once outsourced. Mining and refining rare earths - essential for EVs and defense - carry major environmental risks. Projects in Nebraska and Wyoming face local opposition over health and pollution concerns. The West must now balance its need for green tech materials with the challenge of minimizing environmental and public health impacts at home. Clean energy, it turns out, has a dirty supply chain.

Toyota's Century project marks a bold leap into ultra-luxury EV territory, challenging Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Cadillac with Japanese craftsmanship and electrified ambition. Once a domestic icon, the Century now signals Toyota's intent to globalize prestige mobility - quietly, deliberately, and with high-voltage precision.

A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.

America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.
