EV Repairs Are Cheaper Than Gas Cars, But There's a Catch, Says Study
26 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
A recent study found that while the maintenance of electric vehicles is cheaper than gasoline-powered cars, the catch is that repair costs can be higher. This is especially true for Teslas, which use large, expensive "gigacastings" and advanced technology. Additionally, service visits for EVs may take longer, and it can take more than one visit to resolve an issue. However, overall, EV owners can still save money in the long run due to lower maintenance and operational costs.Healthy Environment Ruled A Human Right By World's Top Court, As Campaigners Hail 'Seismic' Win
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
In a landmark July 23 advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that every nation has a legal obligation under international law to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, affirming that a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a fundamental human right. The court found that inaction on climate change - especially by high-emitting countries - could constitute an internationally wrongful act, potentially triggering liability or reparations for affected nations including climate refugees from island states."UN Chief Guterres: "Fossil Fuels Running Out of Road"
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared that renewables have reached a "turning point": over 90% of new projects are now cheaper than fossil fuels - solar ~41% cheaper, wind ~53% cheaper. In 2024, investment in clean energy hit $2 trillion, $800 billion more than fossil fuel investment. Guterres warned that fossil fuels "are running out of road," urging global leaders and tech firms to shift rapidly to clean power.Fact Check: Renewables Not to Blame for Texas Power Price Spike
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Fact Check: Against WSJ's claim, renewables did not drive the rise in Texas electricity bills. Expert analysis shows that inflation, natural gas price surges, grid upgrade costs, and post‑freeze recovery efforts are the true drivers of higher rates. Meanwhile, clean energy continues to offer long‑term affordability. Experts warn that scaling back solar and wind could raise, not reduce, future energy costs.Are These Charging Cubes the Answer?
25 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
MAN Truck & Bus has launched the Smart Charging Cube - a modular battery energy storage system ranging from 500 to 1,100 kWh, with up to four fast-charge ports per unit (400 kW), extendable to 1 MW via external charging, ideal for electric truck depots, construction sites, or grid-limited areas. It supports solar input, peak shaving, bidirectional power flow, and enables rapid deployment without major infrastructure

BYD's CTB Tech Turns the Battery Into the Backbone
22 Oct 2025 | 
BYD's Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology integrates the battery into the vehicle's structure, boosting stiffness, safety, and packaging efficiency. Unlike traditional EVs, the Blade Battery becomes part of the car's floor, enabling sleeker design and fewer components. Though serviceability and recycling pose challenges, CTB marks a bold shift in EV architecture - one that rivals are watching closely.
My EV Is a Brick: When Software Locks Out the Driver
22 Oct 2025 | 
A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?
BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
