Elon Musk Is Lying About Tesla's Self-Driving And I Have The DMs To Prove It
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Electrek's Fred Lambert reveals DMs showing Elon Musk once admitted radar could enhance Tesla’s vision-based self-driving - contradicting his current claims that radar and lidar reduce safety. Despite Musk's push for a camera-only system, rivals like Waymo use sensor fusion and operate rider-only robotaxis. The article argues Tesla's vision-only approach stems from internal limitations, not superior safety.Dacia's Wild-Looking Ultracompact Hipster EV Concept
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Dacia's Hipster EV concept is a minimalist, ultra-affordable electric vehicle designed as a modern "people’s car." With a boxy, overhang-free design, strap door handles, and bench seating, it emphasizes simplicity, cost-cutting, and charm. Built to near-production standards, it features clever design touches like integrated rear lights and openwork headrests. If produced, it could launch under $20,000, targeting urban drivers seeking practicality and personality.SAIC's MG4 Leads World in Deployment of Semi-Solid-State Battery
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
China's SAIC MG has launched the MG4, the first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery using manganese-based lithium-ion chemistry. This breakthrough offers higher energy density, improved safety, and environmental benefits over traditional LFP batteries. Approved for sale in China, the MG4 signals a major leap in EV tech - underscoring China's lead in battery innovation and cost-effective electric mobilityLiquid Air Could Be the Clean Energy Storage Breakthrough the Planet Needs
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) cools and compresses air into a liquid, storing renewable energy for later use. It's scalable, low-impact, and ideal for balancing intermittent sources like wind and solar. When demand rises, the liquid air is warmed, expands, and drives turbines to generate electricity. LAES could be a breakthrough for clean energy storage with 50-70% efficiency, offering long-duration capacity without geographic limits or toxic materials.Toyota's Chairman Said That EVs Pollute More Than Hybrids Do, So Here's What Research Says
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda claims EVs pollute more than hybrids due to battery production and Japan's fossil-fuel-heavy grid. Researchers counter that EVs offset their higher initial emissions after 20,000-28,000 miles and outperform hybrids long-term - even on coal-heavy grids. Studies show EVs emit less CO2 per mile and will improve further with battery recycling.

Electrification Is Not an Oversimplification
23 Oct 2025 | 
Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.
What Is the Real Cost to Replace EV Tires?
23 Oct 2025 | 
A recent BGR article overstates EV tire costs and ignores fuel savings, regenerative braking, and tire tech advances. Most EV drivers spend ~$2,100–$2,700 on tires over 100,000 miles - not $3,600. EVs save thousands in fuel and benefit from smoother wear profiles. Brands like Goodyear and Michelin now offer EV-specific tires with longer life and better efficiency. The article lacks context and deserves correction.
The Battery Divide: Strategic Choices in the Global Race to Electrify Mobility
23 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's "1 EV = 90 hybrids" logic reflects lithium scarcity, but sodium-ion batteries challenge that premise. Sodium offers low-cost, abundant chemistry for short-range EVs, decoupling electrification from lithium dependence. National policy shapes adoption: Europe favors full EVs, the U.S. subsidizes hybrids, and emerging markets seek pragmatic solutions. The battery divide is not just technical - it's strategic, reshaping the future of mobility.
Irizar Expands Electric Bus Lineup with Global Reach and Long-Range Performance
22 Oct 2025 | 
Irizar has launched two new electric buses - the ie bus and i3 Normal Floor - with over 450 km range, advanced safety systems, and modular lithium-ion batteries. The Spanish manufacturer has delivered over 1,000 electric buses globally since 2014. The new models are lighter, seat up to 53 passengers, and meet European safety and cybersecurity standards. With deployments in Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, Irizar is positioned as a global leader in zero-emission transit.
Automakers Take Flight: eVTOL Partnerships and Launch Plans
22 Oct 2025 | 
Automakers are accelerating eVTOL development through strategic partnerships. Archer and Stellantis lead with FAA certification targeted for 2025. Joby and Toyota follow closely, planning launches in the U.S. and Dubai by 2026. Eve, backed by Embraer and Porsche, aims for dual certification in Brazil and the U.S. XPeng and Geely expand in China and the Middle East. Hyundai’s Supernal is paused, and BYD remains in stealth. These ventures blend aerospace innovation with automotive scale.
