01 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...charges his bZ4X at home using Level 2 charging during off-peak hours...special EV utility rate plan that dramatically cuts the cost of electricity overnight...The contrast is clear. Some regions are seeing shockingly low charging costs, while others are stuck dealing with peak-hour pricing that eats into EV savings...If charging costs can be as low as 1 cent per mile for some and 25 cents per mile for others, are we creating a system where affordability is based purely on zip code or access to home infrastructure?Alpine's New All-Electric A110 Sports Car Will Be Even Lighter Than the Gas-Powered Edition
30 May 2025 | Synopsis
"The claimed lightness is the headline, though, for the simple reason that it’s difficult to make EVs light, given the weight of the massive batteries powering them...Horsepower numbers get eyeballs, but power-to-weight ratio is the real metric that engineers keep an eye on, along with weight distribution...the plan...is for Alpine to become a French version of Porsche..."The next A110 will be lighter than a comparable car with a combustion engine but with no compromise in performance."

I Drive a Lucid Air GT and Rivian R1S.. But Only One of Them Makes Sense for My 780-Mile Phoenix-to-Sausalito Trips
30 May 2025 | Synopsis
" I loosely follow the speed limit, between 70-80mph on I-10 and I-5...The Lucid can make it with 2 charging stops. But you need to plan carefully. I arrived in Sausalito (from Phoenix) with 2 charging stops.."Phoenix to Sausalito trip in the R1S requires 3 (or even 4) charging stops...the Lucid is faster, saves a charge stop, and eats highway miles with grace..
"And Tesla? It's still the standard, mostly because everything around it, charging, software, the overall experience, just works."

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

Putting Children First: Lessons from Paris for Atlanta
15 Oct 2025 | 
Paris redesigned its streets with children in mind - wider sidewalks, less traffic, and safer zones near schools. This child-first approach improved mobility for all, including seniors and cyclists. Atlanta can learn from Paris by investing in protected bike lanes, rethinking zoning, and prioritizing equity. A city where children thrive is safer, healthier, and more connected. The shift is not just practical - it's a moral imperative.
Micromobility's Insurance Gap: What Riders Need to Know
15 Oct 2025 | 
Micromobility use is surging, but insurance coverage lags. Most auto and home policies exclude e-bikes and scooters, leaving riders exposed. Accidents are rising, and shared services often don't cover users. InsurTech firms offer on-demand solutions, but adoption is low. Riders should check existing coverage, consider standalone policies, and push for clearer regulations to close the gap and ensure safe, sustainable urban transport.
