The Dutch Blueprint: Infrastructure Supercharges EV Adoption
01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The Netherlands leans on its robust EV charging infrastructure rather than incentives alone: with 10.04 charge points per 1,000 people and over 157,000 outlets, it's Europe's densest network - even as the country ranks fourth in EV market share (~35%). Policymakers banned fossil-fuel vehicle sales by 2030 and are phasing down subsidies. Challenges now include rising charging costs - up 13% overall and 25% in Amsterdam.Charlie Munger's BYD Bet: Berkshire's Billion-Dollar EV Play
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Charlie Munger led Berkshire Hathaway to invest $230M in BYD in 2008, recognizing its potential in batteries and EVs. Displayed at the Omaha shareholder meeting, BYD grew into a global EV leader. Berkshire's stake peaked near $9.5B, with over $7B in profit from sales. Now holding under 5%, Berkshire's move reflects Munger's long-term vision and BYD's rise as a vertically integrated powerhouse in electric mobility.Mercedes-AMG's Axial Flux Revolution: Real Tech, Not Clickbait
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Mercedes-AMG's axial flux motors from YASA offer up to 4× the torque density of conventional EV motors, enabling compact, oil-cooled drive units with sustained high output. The AMG GT XX concept uses three motors delivering over 1,000 hp and sets the stage for production in 2026. Competing designs from Magnax and Lucchi push efficiency and modularity, but Mercedes leads with centralized deployment on its AMG.EA platform. Axial flux tech outclasses ICE in power, size, and efficiency.Moscow's Electric Bus Expansion Amid the Ukraine War
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Moscow is expanding its electric and autonomous bus fleet, now the largest in Europe, but the Ukraine war has slowed progress. Sanctions and supply shortages hinder access to key tech, forcing a shift to domestic production. Fuel shortages from refinery attacks, cyber disruptions, and strained budgets add pressure. Despite setbacks, Moscow aims to replace diesel buses by 2030, though war-driven economic strain threatens long-term transit modernization.Rivian's Maximus Drive Unit Boosts R2 SUV Power Density & Manufacturing Efficiency
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian's Maximus drive unit, launching with the R2 SUV in early 2026, boosts power density by 40% over previous models. It’s smaller, lighter, and easier to manufacture thanks to a simplified stator, integrated cooling and electronics, and fewer fasteners. A redesigned wiring harness further streamlines production, reduces weight enhancing scalability and efficiency.

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.
