"...an 'intelligent balance system' lets the two rear wheels tilt along with the vehicle's main body when taking corners, boosting performance and stability.Scholten has already built three functional proof-of-concept prototypes, two of which utilized ZF75/7 electric drivetrains made by Zero Motorcycles...One charge of the 10- to 12-kWh lithium battery pack should be good for a range of 100 to 140 miles (161 to 225 km)..."

The electric vehicle revolution has moved from projection to reality. As more countries follow China's lead, oil demand - once considered immune to disruption - now faces irreversible decline in the transportation sector. If policy and investment continue at pace, the IEA expects 5 to 8 million barrels/day of oil demand could be erased by 2030. Nearly 40% of new cars globally may be electric by that time."

"It's hard to be an EV producer. Over the last decade, more than 30 EV start-ups have either faced bankruptcy or quietly disappeared...Lucid is a prime example of this challenge. After nearly 20 years of operation, the company remains unprofitable"For years, EV manufacturers in the U.S. have accumulated a variety of federal and state regulatory credits for selling nonpolluting vehicles...last quarter, Lucid generated $31.5 million in revenue

"A new report from StreetLight Data shows the direct correlation between urban density and the level of walking and biking that residents do..."...9 out of 10 U.S. counties with the highest levels of active transportation - walking and biking - have a population density of at least 4,000 people per square mile.
"Increasing density can accomplish more than converting car trips to walking or biking. It can also help to solve housing shortages."

"Although Canada has one of the largest known reserves of rare earths, estimated at more than 15 million tonnes in 2023, it does not currently produce significant quantities. China produced 210,000 tonnes in 2022, more than every other country combined."MP Materials said it expects a US$150-million loan to help construct a new magnet facility in the U.S..commitment letter from JPMorgan Chase Funding Inc. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA to provide US$1 billion in financing for its proposed magnet facility."

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.

The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.

Audi's Concept C previews a refined electric GT built on the mature PPE platform, likely arriving by 2026. Chevrolet's Corvette EV promises supercar performance but faces packaging and thermal challenges. Audi is closer to production; Corvette remains in early development. Both reflect divergent strategies in electrifying legacy sports cars, with Audi emphasizing platform maturity and Chevrolet pursuing brand continuity through engineering innovation.

Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.
