The UK, Netherlands, and California now have more public EV charging ports than gas pump nozzles, marking a symbolic shift in transportation infrastructure. This milestone reflects rapid growth in electrification, policy support, and consumer adoption. It signals that EVs are not just viable - they're becoming dominant in key regions leading the clean mobility transition.10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Altmin became the first Indian firm to join the U.S.-led Mineral Security Partnership, acquiring lithium refining technology from Brazil to build the world's first spodumene-to-battery-grade refinery outside China. Initiated under the Biden administration, the milestone strengthens India's clean energy supply chain and reduces dependence on Chinese processing.10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study finds battery electric vehicles now have the lowest lifetime carbon emissions of any car type across every U.S. county, regardless of grid mix or driving habits. Researchers analyzed 35 vehicle configurations and confirmed EVs outperform hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and gas cars - even when carrying cargo. Grid decarbonization and improved efficiency have made EVs the most climate-friendly choice nationwide.10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Amazon's Zoox has launched its first public robotaxi service on the Las Vegas Strip, offering free rides in fully autonomous, purpose-built electric vehicles. Designed from the ground up for self-driving, Zoox features bi-directional movement, face-to-face seating, and a 360° sensor suite. The pilot includes remote supervision, safety redundancies, and limited fleet deployment, marking a strategic step in Amazon's urban mobility ambitions.05 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Huawei has launched the world's first 100-megawatt EV charging station in Sichuan, China, capable of charging a Tesla in just two minutes. Built for electric heavy-duty trucks, the $21 million facility spans 11.5 acres, supports 700 vehicles daily, and features ultra-fast chargers up to 1.44 MW. Developed with Yuanqi Xingguang, it marks a major leap in EV infrastructure and positions China at the forefront of ultra-high-capacity charging innovation.

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.

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 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.

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, 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.
