Honda's EV Fun Concept, nicknamed "Ride the Wind," marks the brand's debut into full-size electric motorcycles. Revealed without camouflage, the sleek matte-black sportbike features CCS2 fast charging, urban-ready range, and minimalist styling. Developed by Masatsugu Tanaka, it reflects Honda's push toward electrification and is set to challenge rivals like Zero and LiveWire in the commuter EV segment.02 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The article recommends used EVs like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, and Fiat 500e as smart first cars for teens due to low prices (often under $10K), safety tech, and limited range that keeps teens close to home. These models are widely available, easy to maintain, and offer features like app-based tracking. Overall, they're practical, budget-friendly choices for new drivers, but also check with your insurer since EVs can have higher premiums.01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Hydrogen-powered inland vessels have begun operating in the Netherlands, notably the H2 Barge 2 retrofitted with fuel-cell and electric propulsion. Operating between Rotterdam and inland terminals, it completes ~100 round trips yearly, cutting about 2,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Funded under the EU's Zero Emission Ports North Sea (ZEM Ports) project, the initiative highlights hydrogen's promise for clean maritime transport - but widespread adoption still faces cost and incentive obstacles.01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
India's EV sector is rapidly evolving beyond headline makers like Tesla and BYD, developing a homegrown ecosystem. Local startups and incumbents are advancing battery tech, charging networks, and deep-tech innovation. Government support -including FAME II, PLI schemes, and customs exemptions - is boosting domestic manufacturing, startups, and infrastructure. While global attention lingers on foreign brands, India's EV ecosystem is quietly maturing with scale and resilience.01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The energy transition is more than tech or economics—it’s reshaping geopolitics. IEA's "Net Zero by 2050" imposes an all-out electrification, doubling electricity, zero-carbon, renewables, EV share leaps, industrial & building overhaul by 2050. This sparks an eco-ideological Cold War: a Sino-European green entente vs an axis of petrostates (U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia) resisting decarbonization

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.
