"...will be moving away from hydrogen fuel cell powertrains in a major step change...the decision was down to inadequate investment in infrastructure, as well as a lack of government support."It is not the right time to push hydrogen...There is no investment in incentives and infrastructure, so we are not pushing it commercially."
"Stellantis has now adopted a multi-energy approach..We think that hybridisation is a good option."

Cox Auto showed a 60.6% increase in used EV sales in April 2025 compared to 12 months earlier... increased demand has led to renewed interest in EV battery degradation."The good news is that modern EV batteries degrade less than their predecessors on average...current rate of degradation means that they should remain at healthy levels for around 20 years on average.
The bad news is that it isn't always easy to get an accurate representation of a battery's state of health before you buy a used EV."

"Across many parts of Amish country, including Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, electric bicycles are starting to show up parked next to Amish barns"...there's no one single Amish doctrine. Each community is responsible for establishing and enforcing its own standards as it sees fit for its culture...The few Amish communities that have begun embracing electric bicycles generally charge them on locally generated solar power."

Car and Driver wants to help you better understand the differences and similarities between these two types of powertrains so you can decide which one is best for you."...Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, a PHEV operates like a hybrid, but its battery is big enough that you can (and should) plug it in regularly...they share a core engineering philosophy and operational motif...Both are equally dependent on regenerative braking..."

"In June 2021, my wife and I purchased our third Tesla - a 2021 Model Y....The promise of a car that could drive my wife around gave us hope that she'd maintain independence as her motor skills declined. We paid an extra $10,000 for FSD....shortly after delivery, it became obvious we paid ten grand for features Tesla would not or could not deliver...this was a material breach of contract."After 60 days passed with no response, we filed a demand with the American Arbitration Association... as Tesla's agreement required."

Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.

Rory Sutherland argues that behavioral science is key to EV adoption. In the Everything Electric podcast with Imogen Bhogal, he explains that range anxiety is psychological, not technical, and that emotional reassurance matters more than battery size. He advocates for longer test drives, intuitive design, and incentives that reflect real human behavior. The interview challenges engineering-first thinking and urges empathy-driven policy to accelerate the EV transition.

Douglas McIntyre's video parrots RFK Jr.'s health claims about wind farms without evidence, echoing Trump-era attacks on renewables. By amplifying fringe concerns and ignoring scientific consensus, the video promotes misinformation that undermines climate policy and public trust. Wind energy is not the enemy - ignorance is.

Urban Connect is a modular micromobility hub concept design-ed for dense, transit-rich cities, not unlike that designed by EV World founder and editor-in-chief in 2018. With secure docking, solar charging, and smart tech integration, these hubs support shared and private e-vehicles while boosting public transit use. Deployment costs range from $25K to $75K, with benefits including reduced emissions, improved public health, and expanded access.

Voltaic Marine, an electric boat startup from Oregon, is relocating to Michigan after a $3M pre-seed round. Drawn by state grants and Detroit's manufacturing strength, the company will begin commercial production of its AEW24 wakeboat in 2026 with Detroit Manufacturing Systems and Kinetyc. The move reflects a broader trend: clean-tech firms prioritizing scalable infrastructure and policy support over coastal startup hubs.
