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.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.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.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.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.

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.
