Act of Resistence: The Time Is Right to Switch to an Electric Vehicle
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Congress has shortened the federal EV tax credit window: new vehicle buyers can receive up to $7,500 before the program expires on September 30, 2025, with used EVs eligible for up to $4,000. Additional incentives - including California's Driving Clean Assistance program offering up to $12,000 - can often be stacked to lower costs further. Local agencies like the Community Environmental Council provide personalized support to help residents navigate EV purchase programs."The Kia EV4 Ran For 6,200 Miles At The Nurburgring. Its Battery Wouldn't Die
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Kia subjected the EV4 to a grueling 6,200‑mile battery stress test at Nurburgring - flooring it repeatedly and using fast charging - and found its battery retained 95% health, equivalent to over 160,000 miles of "real‑world" driving. Overall testing exceeded 74,000 miles, demonstrating exceptional battery resilience. Kia also backs the EV4 with a warranty guaranteeing at least 70% capacity after 100,000 miles or eight years.The First Fully Electric Venetian Water Taxi Can Cruise the Canals All Day
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Venice's first fully electric water taxi, Lucietta, was unveiled by Swiss energy firm Repower. Designed by Nauta Design and built in Murano, Lucietta combines traditional Venetian styling with electric propulsion—powered by a 200 kW motor and 180 kWh battery system. It can cruise a full working day (7–20 km/h) on a single charge, emits no direct pollutants, and cuts energy use by around 60% compared to diesel boats.ICCT Study Ends Debate: EVs Drastically Cleaner Than Gasoline Cars
04 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A definitive life-cycle study by the ICCT confirms EVs in Europe are drastically cleaner than gas cars. Even including battery manufacturing, an EV's lifetime emissions are 66-69% lower. The initial "carbon debt" from production is repaid within just 1-2 years of driving. This environmental advantage is set to grow significantly as electricity grids become cleaner, validating pro-EV policies.Your EV's Battery May Be Spying On You, New Study Reveals
04 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A new study from Chinese universities reveals hackers can track your EV. By analyzing your battery's unique "power fingerprint" at a public charger, they can reconstruct your exact driving routes, including home and work. This low-cost side-channel attack exposes a major privacy risk in the vehicle's battery management system, revealing a new frontier for automotive cybersecurity that goes beyond just software.

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
