Rivian CEO Says It 'Blows My Mind' That The US Auto Industry Is Reprioritizing Capital Toward Gas-Powered Vehicles
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe criticized continued U.S. investment in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, calling it a strategic mistake. He argued that pouring billions into gas-powered platforms delays progress and risks falling behind global EV leaders. Scaringe emphasized that electrification is inevitable and that legacy automakers must pivot faster to remain competitive in a rapidly shifting market.Electric Aviation's Summer Surge: Startups, Certification, and the Race to Redefine Flight
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Electric aviation is accelerating as startups like Joby, Archer, Ampaire, and ZeroAvia push toward FAA certification and commercial launch. New FAA rules streamline approval for powered-lift aircraft, while propulsion strategies—battery, hybrid, and hydrogen—diversify range and infrastructure needs. Despite regulatory hurdles, investor confidence and airline partnerships signal that 2025 may be the breakout year for sustainable flight.Ford Is A Bellwether: Electric Vehicles Are Coming, Despite Policy Shifts By Oil Bought-Off American Presidency
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Despite Trump's rollback of EV incentives and emissions rules, Ford is doubling down on electrification. It announced a $5B investment in a modular EV platform and a sub-$30K electric pickup by 2027. Driven more by Chinese competition than U.S. politics, Ford aims to streamline production and stay globally competitive. EV sales remain strong outside Tesla, and legacy automakers are shifting toward affordable models and lithium iron phosphate batteries.An EV Road User Charge Is Looming. Could It Slam The Brakes On Australia's Clean Car Transition?
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
As Australia's electric vehicle fleet grows, the government is considering a road user charge to replace dwindling fuel excise revenue. A proposal from New South Wales suggests a fee of 2.97 cents per kilometre for battery EVs, with collection potentially based on distance driven. Critics worry this will hinder the clean transport transition, arguing the charge should apply to all vehicles, not just EVs. Rivian R4 And R5 Will Be Lower-Cost 'Siblings' Than R2 And R3, CEO Says
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe reveals R4 & R5 EVs in early concept stage as "sibling set" sharing new platform, priced lower than upcoming R2/R3 models ($45K starting). While Tesla's Musk calls cheap EVs "pointless" without autonomy, Rivian pursues full-line automaker strategy with mainstream affordable EVs. No engineering teams assigned yet - purely conceptual stage.

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.
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.
Toyota FT-Me: Shared Mobility Concept with Big Implications
17 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's FT-Me is a two-seat electric microcar designed for shared urban mobility, not just teens. Developed with UK government support, it features hand-only controls, solar panels, and a lightweight frame. Aimed at car clubs and last-mile use, it could offer affordable, accessible transport with low emissions. With steady utilization and supportive policy, FT-Me may become a viable, sustainable option in the UK's evolving mobility landscape.
Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
