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.

"Freedom of choice" is the cornerstone of the Trump EV rollback. Positioning mandates and EV incentives as infringements on consumer liberty and economic fairness...The administration's energy policy prioritizes domestic oil and gas"Administration's rollback is ideologically clear: small government, fossil fuel loyalty, and populist framing. But its economic implications are less certain..."

"Good EV battery maintenance has a direct impact on performance, range, and safety, helping reduce repair costs, prevent unexpected breakdowns, and maintain its original factory efficiency."They say it's the simple things that make the biggest difference
"As strange as it sounds, avoid charging your EV battery to 100%. Keeping your battery between 20% and 80% is ideal because full charges stress lithium-ion battery cells over time."

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.

A recent BGR article overstates EV tire costs and ignores fuel savings, regenerative braking, and tire tech advances. Most EV drivers spend ~$2,100–$2,700 on tires over 100,000 miles - not $3,600. EVs save thousands in fuel and benefit from smoother wear profiles. Brands like Goodyear and Michelin now offer EV-specific tires with longer life and better efficiency. The article lacks context and deserves correction.

Toyota's "1 EV = 90 hybrids" logic reflects lithium scarcity, but sodium-ion batteries challenge that premise. Sodium offers low-cost, abundant chemistry for short-range EVs, decoupling electrification from lithium dependence. National policy shapes adoption: Europe favors full EVs, the U.S. subsidizes hybrids, and emerging markets seek pragmatic solutions. The battery divide is not just technical - it's strategic, reshaping the future of mobility.
