A jury found Tesla partially liable in a fatal crash involving Autopilot and awarded $243 million in damages. Evidence showed Tesla withheld critical crash data and misled investigators.

TechDirt highlights this as a dangerous disconnect between Tesla's marketing and reality, raising serious concerns about transparency, safety, and accountability in autonomous vehicle development."China's Cheap EV Dominance Is On The Verge Of Imploding
07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
China's dominance in cheap EVs is built on a fragile foundation. An unsustainable price war among 100+ brands, fueled by now-expiring government subsidies, has made most automakers unprofitable. Experts predict a market "implosion," leading to mass bankruptcies and consolidation. While consumers currently benefit from low prices, a massive industry shakeout is expected, leaving only a few strong players standing.It Looks Like Honda's First EV Motorcycle Is Finally Ready, and It'll Drop Soon

06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Congress has shortened the federal EV tax credit window: new vehicle buyers can receive up to $7,500 before the program expires on September 30, 2025, with used EVs eligible for up to $4,000. Additional incentives - including California's Driving Clean Assistance program offering up to $12,000 - can often be stacked to lower costs further. Local agencies like the Community Environmental Council provide personalized support to help residents navigate EV purchase programs."The Kia EV4 Ran For 6,200 Miles At The Nurburgring. Its Battery Wouldn't Die
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Kia subjected the EV4 to a grueling 6,200‑mile battery stress test at Nurburgring - flooring it repeatedly and using fast charging - and found its battery retained 95% health, equivalent to over 160,000 miles of "real‑world" driving. Overall testing exceeded 74,000 miles, demonstrating exceptional battery resilience. Kia also backs the EV4 with a warranty guaranteeing at least 70% capacity after 100,000 miles or eight years.

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.

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
