Three drivers rotated every three hours, navigating with standard 20‑inch wheels and Michelin Sport 4 EV tires, demonstrating real-world EV endurance.Swiss Pilot Surpasses Solar-Powered Plane Altitude Record of 31,234 MSL
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Swiss pilot Raphaël Domjan flew the solar-powered SolarStratos to 9,521 m (31,234 ft), breaking the manned electric flight altitude mark set in 2010 by Andre Borschberg in Solar Impulse (9,235 m). Taking advantage of warm air thermals, the 5hr 9min flight originating in Sion, Switzerland required oxygen at altitude and braved –50 °C to –70 °C temperatures. The flight record awaits official certification. Next goal: 10,000 meters.GM Bets on CATL LFP Batteries for New Bolt EV: What It Means for Safety and Cost
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
GM will use CATL's LFP batteries for the 2027 Chevy Bolt to cut costs and improve safety, meeting China’s GB 38031-2025 standard. LG will begin domestic LFP production in Michigan by 2027. Trump-era tariffs on Chinese batteries - up to 80% - will raise short-term costs, but GM sees temporary imports as viable. The Bolt will offer 300+ miles of range and Tesla-style charging.Most EV-friendly Premier League Football Stadiums In The UK

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
