"The U.S. added 4,242 new DC fast‑charging ports in Q2 2025, a 23% increase over Q1, pushing the national total to 59,694 ports across 784 new stations. Industry data firm Paren projects 16,700 ports will come online in full year 2025 - a record. Despite policy uncertainty around NEVI, private investment accelerates "Charging 2.0" hubs with faster, more reliable hardware and improved reliability and pricing."
"...argues that historical use of divine-right monarchy and violent religion enabled climate inaction - where leaders treated natural disasters as "acts of god," discouraging proactive adaptation or clean-energy investment. This mindset persists today in forms like dominionism, which devalues stewardship and justifies resisting clean technology. Breaking from this theology, the author suggests, is essential for accelerating cleantech adoption and climate resilience."
Mexico's official EV sales figures significantly undercount actual adoption. CleanTechnica estimates more than 40,000 BEV units were sold in 2024-far exceeding INEGI's reported ~24,000-because many Chinese-brand dealers operate outside AMDA channels. Electrified vehicle sales surged - 84% in 2024, Q1 - 2025 plug-ins tripled, and nearly 250,000 EVs are projected to be built in Mexico by end - 2025. China's BYD, GAC Aion, Omoda, and Neta are reshaping Mexico City's streets - prompting a comparison that the capital now feels like Shanghai.
The average price of a used 1- to 5-year-old electric vehicle in June 2025 was $31,354 - about $1,200 less than the $32,525 average for used internal-combustion cars. According to iSeeCars data cited by Spectrum, EV used prices fell 4.8% year‑over‑year while gas-powered used car prices rose 5.2%. Teslas (Model S, X, Y) dominated the largest price drops. Value-conscious shoppers now find used EVs more affordable than gas cars.
The article argues EVs are "an obvious upgrade over combustion machines - quieter, cleaner, more efficient and easier to maintain." The author contends that EV proponents have mistakenly framed the debate as a moral issue rather than highlighting these practical advantages. The piece presents EVs as superior technology based on performance and maintenance benefits rather than environmental arguments.
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.
15 Oct 2025 | China's EV market shows strong wholesale growth, but retail sales lag behind. In April 2025, the wholesale-retail ratio hit 1.27:1, signaling inventory buildup. Automakers push stock to dealers to meet targets, risking oversupply. Analysts warn this gap could lead to price wars and financial strain. Retail data offers a clearer view of consumer demand and market health.
