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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
09 Oct 2025 | Ferrari's Elettrica EV delivers over 1,000 hp via quad motors, hitting 0-100 km/h in 2.5s with a 330+ mile range. Its 122 kWh battery sits low for balance, paired with active suspension and rear steering. Designed by LoveFrom, the four-door GT aims to preserve Ferrari's emotional DNA. Priced around $580K, it launches in 2026 in Europe and the U.S., with hybrids and ICE models still dominating until 2030
Are Self-Driving Cars Safer Than Humans? The Data May Surprise You
09 Oct 2025 | Studies show autonomous vehicles (AVs) are generally safer than human drivers, avoiding most rear-end and broadside crashes and performing better in poor weather. However, AVs struggle with complex maneuvers like unprotected turns and low-light conditions. If AVs are just 10% safer, they could prevent 600,000 U.S. deaths over 35 years. As EVs become autonomy platforms, safety depends on how well they interpret real-world scenarios
