Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach
17 Oct 2025 | 
New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.
