Rivian: Quantifying The Damage From The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"
18 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
One Big Beautiful Bill Act...scrapped most of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and pushed most of the Electric Vehicle ecosystem back to, not where it was in 2021...focus for most has been on the loss of the $7,500 tax credit and the regulatory credits EVs received...the impact on EV manufacturers is even worse than that..."Biden Administration's final moves in office was to provide a loan of $6.6 billion to complete construction of a Rivian manufacturing plant in Georgia."
The Real Reason Guardrails Can't Stop EVs in a Crash
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"The reality is, weight alone can’t explain it. Generally speaking, yes, vehicles have been getting heavier...EVs like the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Tesla Cybertruck aren't that much heavier than some well-optioned heavy-duty pickups"...the issue is really twofold...barriers only work if they’re able to absorb the energy from an impact, they're engineered to take those hits where most of a car's energy is concentrated..."
Electric vs. Gas: Why Your Electric Car Costs Less to Drive
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"Even when electricity costs more per unit than gasoline, electric vehicles can provide substantial annual savings due to their superior energy efficiency"Electric vehicles represent a more efficient use of energy resources compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. While electricity may cost slightly more per unit of energy than gasoline, the dramatic efficiency advantages of electric motors result in significantly lower operating costs per mile driven."
New EV battery Tech Could Power Cars For Up To 1 million Kilometers
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"New single-crystal battery design may allow EVs to last 1 million kilometers while reducing waste and environmental damage"The heart of the problem lies in how these batteries charge and discharge...repeated charging and discharging causes the crystals to break apart. This weakens the structure and reduces the battery's ability to hold a charge...Unlike their multi-crystal counterparts, single-crystal materials are more resistant to damage..."
China's Clean Air Could Be Behind an Acceleration in Global Warming
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...new study reveals that reductions in air pollution – particularly in China and east Asia – are a key reason for this faster warming...There has already been a 75 percent reduction in east Asian sulphur dioxide emissions since around 2013"polluted air may have been masking the full effects of global warming. Cleaner air could now be revealing more of the human-induced global warming from greenhouse gases."

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.
Toyota FT-Me: Shared Mobility Concept with Big Implications
17 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's FT-Me is a two-seat electric microcar designed for shared urban mobility, not just teens. Developed with UK government support, it features hand-only controls, solar panels, and a lightweight frame. Aimed at car clubs and last-mile use, it could offer affordable, accessible transport with low emissions. With steady utilization and supportive policy, FT-Me may become a viable, sustainable option in the UK's evolving mobility landscape.
Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
Buick Electra E5: China-Built EV Poised for U.S. Launch
16 Oct 2025 | 
Buick's Electra E5, built in China by SAIC-GM, is set to become GM's first imported EV for the U.S. market. Though its launch was delayed indefinitely in 2024, a tentative 2026 rollout remains part of GM's electrification roadmap. With Ultium battery tech, strong performance specs, and positive reception in China, the Electra E5 represents a strategic shift in global EV sourcing and branding.
