Toyota's Chairman Said That EVs Pollute More Than Hybrids Do, So Here's What Research Says
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda claims EVs pollute more than hybrids due to battery production and Japan's fossil-fuel-heavy grid. Researchers counter that EVs offset their higher initial emissions after 20,000-28,000 miles and outperform hybrids long-term - even on coal-heavy grids. Studies show EVs emit less CO2 per mile and will improve further with battery recycling.What If BMW Stopped Making Electric Cars? The Harsh Reality Behind That Idea
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
If BMW quit making EVs, it would face regulatory bans, lose tech leadership, alienate younger buyers, and shrink its market share. EVs drive growth, innovation, and brand relevance. Abandoning them would hurt perception, supply chains, and investor confidence. BMW's legacy is built on progress - ditching electrification would erase that identityPlummeting Battery Prices Will Push BEVs Below Parity Soon
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Battery costs are falling so fast that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could reach price parity with internal combustion vehicles within 2-4 years in Europe, and in China some models have already done so. The author expects battery pack costs to drop ~70% over the next five years, which would allow automakers to slash BEV retail prices while maintaining margins. That shift may force more aggressive pricing competition and encourage faster EV adoption.GM Bets Big On Electric Cars Even As Market Slows
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite a slowing EV market, GM remains committed to its electric strategy, citing strong sales growth and expanded market share currently at 17.2% YTD. It offers a wide EV lineup of some 30 models, but has paused some production and laid off workers amid shifting demand. While GM scrapped its all-EV pledge by 2035 and backed regulatory rollbacks, it is reintroducing the affordable Chevy Bolt and aims to balance EV accessibility with profitability.Renewable Energy Outpaces Coal For Electricity Generation In Historic First, Report Says
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
In the first half of 2025, renewable energy generated more global electricity than coal for the first time - 30% vs. 27%, per Ember. Solar and wind led the surge, especially in China and India. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it a "historic opportunity," urging nations to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels and embrace a clean energy future powered by investment and equity.

Auto Retail in 2025: Bridging the Trust Gap Between Dealers and Buyers
24 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Electric Icons in the Making: Audi Concept C vs. Chevrolet Corvette EV
23 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Electrification Is Not an Oversimplification
23 Oct 2025 | 
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.
What Is the Real Cost to Replace EV Tires?
23 Oct 2025 | 
A recent BGR article overstates EV tire costs and ignores fuel savings, regenerative braking, and tire tech advances. Most EV drivers spend ~$2,100–$2,700 on tires over 100,000 miles - not $3,600. EVs save thousands in fuel and benefit from smoother wear profiles. Brands like Goodyear and Michelin now offer EV-specific tires with longer life and better efficiency. The article lacks context and deserves correction.
The Battery Divide: Strategic Choices in the Global Race to Electrify Mobility
23 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's "1 EV = 90 hybrids" logic reflects lithium scarcity, but sodium-ion batteries challenge that premise. Sodium offers low-cost, abundant chemistry for short-range EVs, decoupling electrification from lithium dependence. National policy shapes adoption: Europe favors full EVs, the U.S. subsidizes hybrids, and emerging markets seek pragmatic solutions. The battery divide is not just technical - it's strategic, reshaping the future of mobility.
