Elon Says Teslas Drive Themselves. The Crash Data Tesla Tried To Hide From A Court Says Otherwise
07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A jury found Tesla partially liable in a fatal crash involving Autopilot and awarded $243 million in damages. Evidence showed Tesla withheld critical crash data and misled investigators. Despite knowing the system had limitations, Elon Musk claimed Teslas "can drive themselves." TechDirt highlights this as a dangerous disconnect between Tesla's marketing and reality, raising serious concerns about transparency, safety, and accountability in autonomous vehicle development."China's Cheap EV Dominance Is On The Verge Of Imploding
07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
China's dominance in cheap EVs is built on a fragile foundation. An unsustainable price war among 100+ brands, fueled by now-expiring government subsidies, has made most automakers unprofitable. Experts predict a market "implosion," leading to mass bankruptcies and consolidation. While consumers currently benefit from low prices, a massive industry shakeout is expected, leaving only a few strong players standing.It Looks Like Honda's First EV Motorcycle Is Finally Ready, and It'll Drop Soon
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Honda is set to unveil its first performance-focused electric motorcycle on September 2, 2025, likely based on its EV Fun Concept seen at EICMA. A teaser video shows a masked prototype with refinements like a rectangular TFT display, single-sided swingarm, and sportbike ergonomics. While Honda hasn't confirmed if it's production-ready, the model is expected to launch later in 2025 as a mid‑size electric sportbike.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.

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
28 Oct 2025 | 
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: Tunisia's Solar EV Startup Expands Across Africa and the Gulf
28 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Mining's PR Mirage: Why Sandvik's Metal-Free EV Is a Clever Illusion
27 Oct 2025 | 
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: Design-Driven Urban EVs with European Aspirations
27 Oct 2025 | 
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.
