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.

Battle of the Boxes: Tokyo's Compact EV Showdown
30 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Why EVs Need Psychology More Than Horsepower
30 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Signal Boosting the White House's Anti-Wind Campaign
30 Oct 2025 | 
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: Modular Mobility Hubs for Transit-Rich Cities
29 Oct 2025 | 
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.
A Great Lakes Homecoming: Voltaic Marine Trades Silicon Forest for Michigan's Manufacturing Heartbeat
29 Oct 2025 | 
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.
