The 2027 Chevy Bolt retains its familiar look but features a nearly complete electrical overhaul. Built on GM's Global B architecture, it supports OTA updates and advanced driver aids. It uses LFP batteries for ~255 miles of range and 150kW fast charging (10–80% in 26 minutes), plus Tesla's NACS port. Production shifts from Michigan to Kansas, reusing body tooling to cut costs. Target price is under $30K, with deliveries starting January 2027.20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
If your power goes out, your home EV charging stops - but so do gasoline pumps, so you’re not at a unique disadvantage. Most outages are short: the average US user experienced under six hours of interruption in 2023. To prepare, keep your EV topped up (rather than waiting until very low), know public DC and Level-2 charging stations within about 25–50 miles, and if you have a generator, wiring for at least a trickle charge helps.

A study by Geotab found that electric vehicles (EVs) driven with frequent hard acceleration had battery lifespans extended by up to 195,000 miles. Contrary to common belief, gentle driving may not always benefit EV batteries. The research suggests that consistent, vigorous use helps maintain battery health by keeping cells active and balanced, challenging assumptions about EV driving habits.18 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The commentary by Ken Silverstein argues that bridging the red-blue divide on climate requires listening, finding shared values, and focusing on practical solutions rather than ideology. He highlights how conservative voices like Heather Reams align clean energy with economic growth, innovation and energy independence.
Polls show strong public support for renewables across political lines.

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 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.

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?

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.
