Swiss Pilot Surpasses Solar-Powered Plane Altitude Record of 31,234 MSL
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Swiss pilot Raphaël Domjan flew the solar-powered SolarStratos to 9,521 m (31,234 ft), breaking the manned electric flight altitude mark set in 2010 by Andre Borschberg in Solar Impulse (9,235 m). Taking advantage of warm air thermals, the 5hr 9min flight originating in Sion, Switzerland required oxygen at altitude and braved –50 °C to –70 °C temperatures. The flight record awaits official certification. Next goal: 10,000 meters.GM Bets on CATL LFP Batteries for New Bolt EV: What It Means for Safety and Cost
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
GM will use CATL's LFP batteries for the 2027 Chevy Bolt to cut costs and improve safety, meeting China’s GB 38031-2025 standard. LG will begin domestic LFP production in Michigan by 2027. Trump-era tariffs on Chinese batteries - up to 80% - will raise short-term costs, but GM sees temporary imports as viable. The Bolt will offer 300+ miles of range and Tesla-style charging.Most EV-friendly Premier League Football Stadiums In The UK

Kandi Technologies - a once modest budget EV maker - is now a central player in China's battery swap infrastructure. Its subsidiary, China Battery Exchange, will supply key components (station structures, robotic arms, thermal modules) for CATL's ambitious plan to deploy over 10,000 swap stations nationwide. With 90-second swaps, both single-use and subscription pricing, Kandi is targeting fleet operators while drawing investor attention.Ford Throws Out Henry Ford's Assembly Line To Make Low-Cost EVs In America
12 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Ford is scrapping its century-old straight-line assembly line for a three-branch "assembly tree" setup, enabling parallel construction of EV modules. Investing almost $5 billion, Ford will retool its Louisville plant, aiming to produce a mid-size electric pickup starting at $30,000 in 2027. Powered by cost-effective domestic LFP batteries, the overhaul is designed to cut assembly complexity, speed up production, and bolster U.S. competitiveness.

My EV Is a Brick: When Software Locks Out the Driver
22 Oct 2025 | 
A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?
BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.

From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers
21 Oct 2025 | 
Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.
EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
