In Just 15 Years, No One Will Own an Electric Car - Here's What Will Replace Them Instead
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
EVs are central to a coming shift in mobility: by 2040, personal electric car ownership may disappear as automakers pivot to subscription-based, software-driven models. EVs will serve as platforms for autonomous fleets, shared transport, and tiered digital services. Younger users prefer access over ownership, and manufacturers are redesigning vehicles as connected devices - raising concerns over repair rights, data control, and user autonomy.US Firm Bids To Bring 'Flying Boats' to Scottish Islands Transport Network
21 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
US firm Regent is partnering with Scotland’s Hitrans to explore using electric "flying boats" called Seagliders for island transport. These vessels combine boat, hydrofoil, and low-altitude flight technologies, reaching speeds up to 180 mph. A 12-passenger model may launch in Orkney by 2026–2027, with a larger version planned for 2030. The project aims to improve connectivity and reduce emissions across the Highlands and Islands.The Electric Bus You Thought Was Dead - But Isn't
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Modern trolleybuses using in-motion charging (IMC) are making a comeback as cost-effective, grid-friendly alternatives to battery-electric buses. They charge via overhead wires and run off-wire using small batteries, reducing infrastructure and maintenance costs. Ideal for dense, hilly cities or those with legacy systems, they face funding and public perception challenges but offer strategic advantages in urban transit electrification.European Study Finds E-bikes Carry A Much Greater Crash Risk Than E-scooters
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study from Chalmers University, featured in Air Quality News, finds that e-bikes pose a significantly higher crash risk than e-scooters—over eight times greater when accounting for exposure factors like trip distance and duration. The research analyzed GPS data from shared micromobility services across seven European cities, offering a more accurate comparison than previous studies. The authors call for better data-driven safety policies. Electric Aquaculture Boats Splash Into Waters Off the Coast of Rural Maine
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Electric fishing boat Heron launched in rural Maine, powered by twin electric outboards and backed by $1M in grants. Operated by Maine Ocean Farms, it cuts emissions, noise, and fuel costs. The shift supports climate goals amid warming Gulf waters. Challenges include battery weight and limited charging, but local groups are expanding infrastructure. Heron signals a sustainable future for aquaculture and rural marine industries.

Battle of the Boxes: Tokyo's Compact EV Showdown
30 Oct 2025 | 
Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
Why EVs Need Psychology More Than Horsepower
30 Oct 2025 | 
Rory Sutherland argues that behavioral science is key to EV adoption. In the Everything Electric podcast with Imogen Bhogal, he explains that range anxiety is psychological, not technical, and that emotional reassurance matters more than battery size. He advocates for longer test drives, intuitive design, and incentives that reflect real human behavior. The interview challenges engineering-first thinking and urges empathy-driven policy to accelerate the EV transition.
Signal Boosting the White House's Anti-Wind Campaign
30 Oct 2025 | 
Douglas McIntyre's video parrots RFK Jr.'s health claims about wind farms without evidence, echoing Trump-era attacks on renewables. By amplifying fringe concerns and ignoring scientific consensus, the video promotes misinformation that undermines climate policy and public trust. Wind energy is not the enemy - ignorance is.
Urban Connect: Modular Mobility Hubs for Transit-Rich Cities
29 Oct 2025 | 
Urban Connect is a modular micromobility hub concept design-ed for dense, transit-rich cities, not unlike that designed by EV World founder and editor-in-chief in 2018. With secure docking, solar charging, and smart tech integration, these hubs support shared and private e-vehicles while boosting public transit use. Deployment costs range from $25K to $75K, with benefits including reduced emissions, improved public health, and expanded access.
A Great Lakes Homecoming: Voltaic Marine Trades Silicon Forest for Michigan's Manufacturing Heartbeat
29 Oct 2025 | 
Voltaic Marine, an electric boat startup from Oregon, is relocating to Michigan after a $3M pre-seed round. Drawn by state grants and Detroit's manufacturing strength, the company will begin commercial production of its AEW24 wakeboat in 2026 with Detroit Manufacturing Systems and Kinetyc. The move reflects a broader trend: clean-tech firms prioritizing scalable infrastructure and policy support over coastal startup hubs.
