The Hydrogen Illusion: Poland's Fuel Cell Locomotive and the Uneven Future of Clean Rail
04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Poland's hydrogen-powered SM42-6Dn locomotive marks a symbolic step toward clean rail, but hydrogen trains face steep economic and logistical hurdles. Germany's mixed results, including failures in the Taunus region, highlight infrastructure and reliability issues. Battery-electric trains offer higher efficiency and lower costs, while hydrogen remains a niche solution. Poland’s effort is strategic - more rehearsal than revolution - in a broader push for rail decarbonization.2026 Will Be The 'Year Of The Used EV,' Analyst Says. Here's Why
04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Used EV prices are nearing parity with gas cars, boosting demand despite the end of federal tax credits. Analysts predict 2026 will be the “year of the used EV,” driven by affordability and a surge in lease returns. In August, used EV sales rose 59% year-over-year. Some models, like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt, are priced under $15,000. State incentives and lower battery costs continue to support the market.NASA Moon Rover Project Pushes Extreme Battery Tech To Its Limits
03 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
GM is adapting its EV battery tech for NASA's Lunar Terrain Vehicle, part of Artemis V. Using durable lithium-ion packs with high-nickel NCMA cathodes, the rover will withstand extreme lunar conditions -temperatures from - 173°C to scorching highs - while operating reliably for 10 years. Four steerable wheels with crab-walk and zero-turn features boost mobility, and fault-tolerant design ensures function even if cells fail, extending U.S. exploration on the Moon.Ford Faces EV Crossroads as Federal Incentives Expire
02 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Ford CEO Jim Farley warns that U.S. EV sales could drop by half following the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit, citing high vehicle costs and reduced consumer demand. Ford is shifting focus to hybrids and more affordable EVs, while some dealers see the change as a chance to test market strength without subsidies. The industry faces uncertainty as it adapts to a post-incentive landscape.The LNG Detour: What Scotland's New Ferry Teaches US
02 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Scotland's Glen Sannox ferry, launched as a “green” LNG-powered vessel, emits more greenhouse gases than its diesel predecessor due to underestimated methane slip. Despite improved local air quality, real-world data shows LNG's climate impact is worse over short timeframes. The project highlights how optimistic assumptions and delayed construction turned a sustainability effort into a cautionary tale about transitional fuels and lifecycle emissions.

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
28 Oct 2025 | 
France's A10 motorway now features a live inductive charging lane, letting EV trucks gain 1.5–3 km of range while driving. Similar pilots in Germany and Italy use embedded coils, while Sweden's eRoadArlanda powers trucks via overhead or in-road conductive systems. These dynamic charging projects aim to reduce battery size, cut downtime, and enable continuous freight operation - signaling a shift toward electrified logistics corridors across Europe.
Bako Motors: Tunisia's Solar EV Startup Expands Across Africa and the Gulf
28 Oct 2025 | 
Bako Motors is a Tunisian EV startup building solar-powered tricycles for last-mile logistics. Their vehicles are indigenous designs, not Chinese kits, with modular platforms and rooftop solar panels. Expanding into Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Qatar, Bako focuses on regional manufacturing and energy efficiency. The B1 model delivers up to 12 km/kWh of driving range efficiency, with simple lithium-ion batteries and low maintenance needs - ideal for emerging market fleets.
Mining's PR Mirage: Why Sandvik's Metal-Free EV Is a Clever Illusion
27 Oct 2025 | 
Sandvik's "eNimon" sculpture - a nonfunctional EV made without metals - is a PR stunt, not innovation. Framed as a warning against anti-mining sentiment, it sidesteps real concerns about environmental harm and responsible extraction. While EVs require mined materials, most offset their production emissions within 1-2 years. The campaign oversimplifies the debate, mocking critics instead of addressing how mining can evolve. It's a clever illusion - but one that dodges accountability.
Infinite Machine: Design-Driven Urban EVs with European Aspirations
27 Oct 2025 | 
Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based EV startup, unveiled its P1 scooter and Olto moped at EICMA 2025, targeting European urban riders. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nico Rosberg, the company blends design and performance but has yet to confirm production or deliveries. With prototypes and press buzz, it's not vaporware - but remains unproven. European rollout begins in 2026 via select dealers.
