Elysian E9X: Europe's 90-Seat Electric Aircraft Targets 2033 Entry
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Dutch startup Elysian Aircraft is developing the E9X, a 90-seat fully electric aircraft with a 500-mile range, targeting entry into service by 2033. Featuring eight wing-mounted propellers and battery integration, the E9X aims to offer zero-emission short-haul flights. Backed by TU Delft, KLM, and Aernnova, the project addresses major engineering hurdles and is entering detailed design. A prototype is expected by 2030, with total development costs projected at $10 billion."Second‑Life Honda & Nissan EV Packs Power 24 MWh Texas Grid Storage
29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
California‑based B2U Storage Solutions is building a 24 MWh energy storage facility east of San Antonio using ~500 second‑life EV battery packs - sourced from retired Honda and Nissan electric vehicles previously deployed in its California system. Their UL‑certified modular "plug‑and‑play" EPS system skips costly refurbishing and uses AI to manage trading into CPS Energy's grid. Texas is one of four planned sites totaling 100 MWh by mid‑2026.Lucid Air: 72,000 Miles, $0 Maintenance vs. $4,850 on a Corvette C8
29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
A Lucid Air owner reports driving 72,000 miles with zero maintenance expenses—only new tires at 70K miles due to accidental damage. In contrast, maintaining a 2020 Corvette C8 over the same distance would cost approximately $4,850 for oil changes, transmission service, and tires. The post highlights the time and cost advantages of an EV over a gas-powered muscle car. Watch A Cybertruck Dangle In Mid-Air Thanks To Tesla Repair Glue
29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
In a video stunt, a Tesla Cybertruck was suspended by a two-and-a-half-inch patch of Tesla's structural adhesive ("Fusor 2098"), supporting its full 6,600‑lb weight. The story follows earlier reported failures of glued-on body trim and panels - leading to at least one recall - highlighting risks of adhesive use in a stainless‑steel vehicle design. Although structural glue can be strong, its visible applications have sparked safety and qualityInternational Court Opens Path To Climate Accountability By States
29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
The International Court of Justice has issued a landmark advisory opinion declaring that all countries - regardless of treaty status - have a legal duty under international law to combat human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. It also ruled that failure to act may constitute an internationally wrongful act, opening the door to reparations, lawsuits, and legal accountability for climate harm.

EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach
17 Oct 2025 | 
New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.
Toyota FT-Me: Shared Mobility Concept with Big Implications
17 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's FT-Me is a two-seat electric microcar designed for shared urban mobility, not just teens. Developed with UK government support, it features hand-only controls, solar panels, and a lightweight frame. Aimed at car clubs and last-mile use, it could offer affordable, accessible transport with low emissions. With steady utilization and supportive policy, FT-Me may become a viable, sustainable option in the UK's evolving mobility landscape.
Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
