"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.
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.
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.
Rivian's Infotainment Revolution: AI at the Wheel, No Smartphone Required
11 Oct 2025 | Rivian's infotainment system replaces CarPlay with a native AI-powered interface backed by Amazon and Volkswagen. It offers smart navigation, voice control, music/video streaming, and cloud-based personalization. AM radio is excluded, prompting bipartisan legislation to mandate its return. Autonomous driving integration is planned, with updates rolling out in 2025 and full features expected in the R2 by 2026.
