Electric supercars are struggling. With high-performance mainstream EVs like Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N offering 0‑60 mph in ~3.4 sec for ~$68K, buyers don't see value in paying 7‑figure sums for marginal gains. Supercar brands like Rimac, Koenigsegg, Pagani, Ferrari, and Lamborghini report flat demand for full-EV hypercars. Enthusiasts miss engine sound, emotion, and unique tactile feel -EVs excel in speed but lack character."22 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Global automakers - including Honda, Nissan, Mercedes, Ford, Volvo, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and even Apple - have recently canceled or delayed numerous EV programs due to shifting market dynamics like supply chain issues, slowing demand, policy reversals and tariffs. While some see this as a market correction, others view it as strategic adaptation amid volatility.22 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Chinese EV makers like BYD are flooding Brazil with low-cost imports while delaying promised local production. Labor abuses at a BYD factory site and growing concerns about Chinese EV safety in China are fueling backlash. Brazil is weighing tariff hikes to protect jobs and its auto industry. The controversy underscores global scrutiny of China's EV practices as it expands abroad.22 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
The world's largest electric bus manufacturer set out to demonstrate the practicality of an intercity electric bus capable of carrying 59 passengers as the IC13E roamed across northern Europe. EV World's SI contributor expands on the details of the 1200+ kilometer drive from Hamburg to Copenhagen and beyond with as much technical and operational data as it could muster, revealing that even with full passenger load it can do the job.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
