Rivian: Quantifying The Damage From The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"
18 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
One Big Beautiful Bill Act...scrapped most of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and pushed most of the Electric Vehicle ecosystem back to, not where it was in 2021...focus for most has been on the loss of the $7,500 tax credit and the regulatory credits EVs received...the impact on EV manufacturers is even worse than that..."Biden Administration's final moves in office was to provide a loan of $6.6 billion to complete construction of a Rivian manufacturing plant in Georgia."
The Real Reason Guardrails Can't Stop EVs in a Crash
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"The reality is, weight alone can’t explain it. Generally speaking, yes, vehicles have been getting heavier...EVs like the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Tesla Cybertruck aren't that much heavier than some well-optioned heavy-duty pickups"...the issue is really twofold...barriers only work if they’re able to absorb the energy from an impact, they're engineered to take those hits where most of a car's energy is concentrated..."
Electric vs. Gas: Why Your Electric Car Costs Less to Drive
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"Even when electricity costs more per unit than gasoline, electric vehicles can provide substantial annual savings due to their superior energy efficiency"Electric vehicles represent a more efficient use of energy resources compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. While electricity may cost slightly more per unit of energy than gasoline, the dramatic efficiency advantages of electric motors result in significantly lower operating costs per mile driven."
New EV battery Tech Could Power Cars For Up To 1 million Kilometers
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"New single-crystal battery design may allow EVs to last 1 million kilometers while reducing waste and environmental damage"The heart of the problem lies in how these batteries charge and discharge...repeated charging and discharging causes the crystals to break apart. This weakens the structure and reduces the battery's ability to hold a charge...Unlike their multi-crystal counterparts, single-crystal materials are more resistant to damage..."
China's Clean Air Could Be Behind an Acceleration in Global Warming
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...new study reveals that reductions in air pollution – particularly in China and east Asia – are a key reason for this faster warming...There has already been a 75 percent reduction in east Asian sulphur dioxide emissions since around 2013"polluted air may have been masking the full effects of global warming. Cleaner air could now be revealing more of the human-induced global warming from greenhouse gases."

California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
