This $7,000 Electric Micro-Car Has Already Overtaken Toyota's EV Sales In Japan
21 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"The Mibot stands under 1.5 meters tall with a design that balances between being adorable and pragmatic."The specs are straightforward: a 100km range, 60km/h top speed, and a 5-hour charging time using standard outlets. Some would call it abysmal by EV standards, but these features are perfectly suited for urban reality...
"Production begins this October at KG's new Hiroshima factory, with plans to deliver 300 vehicles to Hiroshima and Tokyo customers by March 2026, followed by 3,000 more nationwide."
Viewpoint: An EV Revolution Is Happening In The Heart Of OPEC
21 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
Fully electric vehicles comprised 10 per cent of the value of cars imported into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2024, according to trade data. Throw in hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and more than a quarter of the market is switching to batteries "If nations that owe their very existence to the transformative power of crude are switching to lithium-ion, then the prospects for their key export are looking distinctly shaky."
What Fracking Is Doing To The Earth - And To Our Bodies
21 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"Between 2007 and 2016, oil production in the United States increased 75 percent, while natural gas production increased 39 percent...Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique to extract fossil fuels - primarily methane"...a single well can use between 1.5 and 16 million gallons of water...One of the largest environmental impacts of fracking is the amount of methane it releases...the amount of smog produced by oil and gas drilling now exceeds the amount of smog from vehicles."
China Has Massive Over-Capacity to Produce EV Batteries: How Will It And Rest of World React?
20 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
In this first edition of the Global Clean Investment Monitor series, Rhodium Group explores how - after decades of national policy support, primarily in the US, China, and Europe - electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries have been catapulted into mass commercialization...this report.. track[s]... 1,248 EV and battery manufacturing facilities around the world"Today, China's battery manufacturing capacity is 2x demand in China and 1.2x global demand."
Switzerland Killed Study Proving Upgrading To An Electric Car Is Good For The Environment
20 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...due to the high environmental impact of manufacturing a new vehicle, some are debating whether it's possibly better to drive your old beater until it completely falls apart rather than buying a new EV"...the report landed in fall 2024, the verdict was clear: replacing over 90% of existing petrol/diesel cars with an equal-sized EV would save CO₂ immediately...
"Now, they didn't want them to have that information?"

Unlocking Heat's Hidden Potential: How a Nanoscale Discovery Could Transform Everyday Tech
24 Oct 2025 | 
A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.
Turning the Energy Crunch into a Smart Grid Revolution
24 Oct 2025 | 
America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.
Auto Retail in 2025: Bridging the Trust Gap Between Dealers and Buyers
24 Oct 2025 | 
The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.
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.
