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.

From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers

21 Oct 2025 | Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.

EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend

20 Oct 2025 | EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.

Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse

17 Oct 2025 | Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.

Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach

17 Oct 2025 | New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.
