Let the Market Lead? Only If It Can See the Horizon
04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The article challenges the WSJ's market-only energy stance, arguing that long-term resilience and sustainability must guide energy policy. It highlights the cost-effectiveness of renewables, the emerging role of EVs in grid stability, and speculative breakthroughs like fusion and UAP propulsion. Drawing from Native American philosophy and the Kardashev Scale, it calls for a seven-generations mindset to build a clean, reliable, and future-ready energy system.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.

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.
BYD's CTB Tech Turns the Battery Into the Backbone
22 Oct 2025 | 
BYD's Cell-to-Body (CTB) technology integrates the battery into the vehicle's structure, boosting stiffness, safety, and packaging efficiency. Unlike traditional EVs, the Blade Battery becomes part of the car's floor, enabling sleeker design and fewer components. Though serviceability and recycling pose challenges, CTB marks a bold shift in EV architecture - one that rivals are watching closely.
My EV Is a Brick: When Software Locks Out the Driver
22 Oct 2025 | 
A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?
BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.
