New EV battery That's Made From Salt Could Last For 3,600,000 Miles
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
CATL's new Naxtra sodium-ion "salt" EV battery costs just $10–$19/kWh - about one-tenth of current lithium-ion prices (~$100–$115/kWh). It retains 85% capacity after 3.6M miles, charges at up to 5C (full in ~12 min), and goes 30–80% in 30 min even at –30 °C with ~93% usable capacity. The low cost, long life, and cold-weather performance could transform EV affordability and durability.Volkswagen's U.K Division Is Locking ID.3 Horsepower Behind a Subscription
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
British-market buyers can now opt to pay a monthly fee for that horsepower increase..details in fine print, where a disclaimer notes that "Engine power is [148 hp] as standard, [168 hp] if you activate the optional power upgrade for a fee.""...the fee is equivalent to $22.50 per month, $225 for a year, or a one-time purchase of $878...the one-time purchase is priced the same as 39 months of monthly subscription..."
US Administration Unfreezes $5 Billion for EV Chargers with Major Changes
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Compelled by federal court ruling, the Trump administration unfroze $5B for EV fast chargers, dropping equity and climate rules. Funds target interstates via the NEVI program, with 80% federal coverage and 20% local match. Gas stations gain easier access, but rural and underserved areas lose priority. Critics warn of charging deserts and slower adoption. States must submit revised plans in 30 days to access funding.Donald Trump Is a Bird Killer
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The current White House occupier criticizes wind turbines for killing birds, yet his policies favor fossil fuels - which pose far greater threats to avian life. His administration weakened bird protections, halted wind projects, and pushed oil and gas expansion, despite climate change being the leading cause of bird decline. The DC D.I.C.'s apparent preoccupation with bird protection is petty, self-serving, cynical, and hypocritical...Bristow Norway Receives First Beta Alia CX300 Electric Aircraft
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Bristow Norway received the first Beta Alia CX300 electric aircraft at Stavanger Airport. The conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) version of the electric aircraft will undergo a six-month evaluation with Avinor and CAA Norway, testing regional routes like Stavanger–Bergen. It carries five passengers or 1,400 lbs of cargo over 300+ nautical miles. Bristow pilots trained in Vermont will operate it, marking a key step toward sustainable aviation.

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.
Irizar Expands Electric Bus Lineup with Global Reach and Long-Range Performance
22 Oct 2025 | 
Irizar has launched two new electric buses - the ie bus and i3 Normal Floor - with over 450 km range, advanced safety systems, and modular lithium-ion batteries. The Spanish manufacturer has delivered over 1,000 electric buses globally since 2014. The new models are lighter, seat up to 53 passengers, and meet European safety and cybersecurity standards. With deployments in Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, Irizar is positioned as a global leader in zero-emission transit.
