For the US EV Market, The Training Wheels Are Off. Tesla Will Survive. Who Else Will?
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
As U.S. EV incentives phase out, automakers face a tougher market. Tesla leads with 43.1% EV share, but GM gains ground with 13.8%, thanks to a broad lineup and low incentives. Ford lags at 6.6%, struggling despite heavy investment. The industry braces for slower growth, signaling a shift from government support to market-driven competition. Survival now depends on scale, innovation, and execution.Nio Firefly Launches New 'Night Creature' Special Edition EV Model
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Nio's sub-brand Firefly launched the Night Creature Special Edition of its EV, limited to 666 units. Priced at RMB 136,800 ($19,170), it features exclusive black paint, white decals, alloy wheels, a g-force handling kit with red high-stiffness springs, and an illuminated NFC card. Deliveries begin October 23. The release follows August’s Nomadic Maillard edition, boosting brand buzz in China’s competitive EV market.The New Toyota Corolla Makes a Surprise Appearance
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota has unveiled a sleek new Corolla concept ahead of its official debut at the Japan Mobility Show later this October. The design features a charging port door on the front fender, strongly suggesting a plug-in hybrid or fully electric powertrain. This marks a bold shift for the iconic Corolla nameplate, signaling Toyota’s move toward electrification. Full details will be revealed at the Tokyo event.Hear Me Out: Instead of Faster Chargers, We Should Lobby for Slower Gas Pumps
12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tongue-in-cheek article argues that instead of demanding faster EV chargers, we should slow down gas pumps to equalize refueling times, while reducing evaporative emissions. It highlights how EV charging is often criticized for being slower than gas refueling, but reframes the issue by suggesting that slowing gas pumps would make EVs seem just as convenient if not more so. The piece uses satire to challenge perceptions and promote EV adoption.The Worrisome Trend of the eVTOL Business Model
12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
eVTOL aircraft face serious business viability issues. GlobeAir's CEO stated there's "no business case" for wide-scale adoption after a failed Lilium partnership. The main problem: battery technology and lack of charging infrastructure at airports make operations economically unviable with "insane" hourly battery replacement costs. Aviation is already a low-margin business, and experimental technology faces high insurance costs.

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.
