This Giant Black Box is the EV Charger of the Future
13 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A massive black box spotted in California is the Smart Charging Cube, a mobile EV fast charger built by AW Automotive and MAN Truck & Bus. Designed for electric big rigs, it delivers up to 400 kW from its onboard battery and up to 1,000 kW when connected to a Megawatt Charging System. It’s built for job sites and fleet use, offering high-speed charging without permanent grid infrastructure.WeRide Enters Belgium as Autonomous Robobus Rolls Into Leuven
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
WeRide launched its autonomous Robobus in Leuven, Belgium, marking its 11th global market. In partnership with De Lijn and Espaces-Mobilités, the pilot will run through January 2026, aiming to improve first- and last-mile transit. Mapping begins now, with public testing mid-September. The project reflects Belgium’s push for smart mobility and AV integration.What's Keeping The Indian Middle Class From Driving An Electric Car?
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
India’s middle class is hesitant to adopt EVs due to high import prices, limited public charging, and range anxiety. Tesla’s Model Y costs ₹6M ($68K), far above mainstream affordability. Local production is key—Vietnam’s VinFast and India’s Tata Motors offer EVs closer to ₹1–2.3M. With EVs at just 5.3% market share, scaling infrastructure and lowering costs are critical for broader adoption.Small Modular Reactors and the Big Questions of Cost & Waste
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study by Kim and Macfarlane finds small modular reactors (SMRs) face steep cost overruns and complex waste challenges. Promised savings rely on mass production that hasn't materialized, while some SMR designs may generate 2–30× more waste per unit of energy. With few commercial deployments and high uncertainty, SMRs remain a high-risk option compared to proven clean technologies.Why EV World Supports the New Heatwave Attribution Study
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A peer-reviewed Nature study links 213 heatwaves since 2000 to human-caused climate change, showing emissions from 180 major fossil fuel and cement producers made 53 of them "virtually impossible" without global warming. The study uses EM-DAT data and attribution science to quantify how specific corporate emissions increased deadly heatwave risks, offering a scientific basis for accountability in climate-related harm.

Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | 
Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
