New EV battery That's Made From Salt Could Last For 3,600,000 Miles
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
CATL's new Naxtra sodium-ion "salt" EV battery costs just $10–$19/kWh - about one-tenth of current lithium-ion prices (~$100–$115/kWh). It retains 85% capacity after 3.6M miles, charges at up to 5C (full in ~12 min), and goes 30–80% in 30 min even at –30 °C with ~93% usable capacity. The low cost, long life, and cold-weather performance could transform EV affordability and durability.Volkswagen's U.K Division Is Locking ID.3 Horsepower Behind a Subscription

US Administration Unfreezes $5 Billion for EV Chargers with Major Changes
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Compelled by federal court ruling, the Trump administration unfroze $5B for EV fast chargers, dropping equity and climate rules. Funds target interstates via the NEVI program, with 80% federal coverage and 20% local match. Gas stations gain easier access, but rural and underserved areas lose priority. Critics warn of charging deserts and slower adoption. States must submit revised plans in 30 days to access funding.Donald Trump Is a Bird Killer
14 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The current White House occupier criticizes wind turbines for killing birds, yet his policies favor fossil fuels - which pose far greater threats to avian life. His administration weakened bird protections, halted wind projects, and pushed oil and gas expansion, despite climate change being the leading cause of bird decline. The DC D.I.C.'s apparent preoccupation with bird protection is petty, self-serving, cynical, and hypocritical...Bristow Norway Receives First Beta Alia CX300 Electric Aircraft

Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | 
Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
12 Oct 2025 | 
The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
