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.Wired Wings: Flying the Bristell B23 Energic Electric Aircraft
19 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The Bristell B23 Energic, an all-electric trainer aircraft from BRM Aero and H55, offers smooth handling, low operating costs ($8–$9/hr), and a 60-minute flight time under EASA rules. FAA limits U.S. flights to 40 minutes due to stricter reserves, but upgrades are planned. Despite reduced payload from battery weight, performance rivals piston aircraft. Its success signals growing momentum in electric aviation.Rivian's Secret E-Bike Surfaces: A Bold New Chapter in Micromobility
18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Leaked images reveal Rivian's upcoming e-bike, developed by its spinoff ALSO Inc. The sleek, silver prototype features full suspension, cargo rack, and inverted fork - blending utility with Rivian's signature design. Backed by a $1B valuation, ALSO aims to disrupt micromobility with a bold October launch. The bike signals Rivian's move beyond trucks, building a broader electric mobility ecosystem for urban riders and lifestyle commuters.Why Tesla's Chinese Rival BYD Faces a Raft of Troubles
18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
BYD, once China's fastest-growing EV maker and 2024's top seller globally, is now facing serious headwinds. Since May, its domestic sales have begun to shrink while international deliveries aren't enough to compensate. A fierce price war - central to its rapid rise - is under regulatory scrutiny in Beijing. Margins are being squeezed by aggressive discounting, and the company must now navigate cooling demand, tighter oversight, and investor pressure amid declining profits.5 Forecasts Early Climate Models Got RIght
18 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Early climate models from the 1960s accurately predicted key warming patterns - Arctic amplification, faster land heating, and nighttime temperature rise. Developed by pioneers like Syukuro Manabe, these models proved surprisingly robust. Their success boosts confidence in today's forecasts, which warn of accelerating disruption. What's worrying isn't just the warming - it's how fast it's unfolding, with risks to ecosystems, infrastructure, and global stability.

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.
