ComEd Begins Testing Phase of First of Its Kind Vehicle-to-Grid Charging Pilot with Local School Districts
14 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
ComEd launched testing for its first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging pilot with three Illinois school districts. The initiative uses bidirectional chargers on electric school buses to explore energy optimization, grid support, and cost savings during peak demand. Part of ComEd's Beneficial Electrification Plan, the pilot aims to scale V2G tech and includes partners like Nuvve and Resource Innovations.The Illusion of Clean: How Big Oil Perfected the Art of Greenwashing
13 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Big Oil's decades-long greenwashing campaign used PR to mask environmental harm. Chevron's "People Do" ads, Exxon's climate denial lobbying, and BP's carbon footprint push shifted blame to consumers. Investors like BlackRock and execs like Rex Tillerson profited, while conservative politicians traded support for donations. Lawsuits from cities and youth groups now challenge fossil fuel deception, aiming to hold companies accountable in court.This Giant Black Box is the EV Charger of the Future
13 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A massive black box spotted in California is the Smart Charging Cube, a mobile EV fast charger built by AW Automotive and MAN Truck & Bus. Designed for electric big rigs, it delivers up to 400 kW from its onboard battery and up to 1,000 kW when connected to a Megawatt Charging System. It’s built for job sites and fleet use, offering high-speed charging without permanent grid infrastructure.WeRide Enters Belgium as Autonomous Robobus Rolls Into Leuven
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
WeRide launched its autonomous Robobus in Leuven, Belgium, marking its 11th global market. In partnership with De Lijn and Espaces-Mobilités, the pilot will run through January 2026, aiming to improve first- and last-mile transit. Mapping begins now, with public testing mid-September. The project reflects Belgium’s push for smart mobility and AV integration.What's Keeping The Indian Middle Class From Driving An Electric Car?
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
India’s middle class is hesitant to adopt EVs due to high import prices, limited public charging, and range anxiety. Tesla’s Model Y costs ₹6M ($68K), far above mainstream affordability. Local production is key—Vietnam’s VinFast and India’s Tata Motors offer EVs closer to ₹1–2.3M. With EVs at just 5.3% market share, scaling infrastructure and lowering costs are critical for broader adoption.

A Great Lakes Homecoming: Voltaic Marine Trades Silicon Forest for Michigan's Manufacturing Heartbeat
29 Oct 2025 | 
Voltaic Marine, an electric boat startup from Oregon, is relocating to Michigan after a $3M pre-seed round. Drawn by state grants and Detroit's manufacturing strength, the company will begin commercial production of its AEW24 wakeboat in 2026 with Detroit Manufacturing Systems and Kinetyc. The move reflects a broader trend: clean-tech firms prioritizing scalable infrastructure and policy support over coastal startup hubs.
A Different Kind of Crop Duster
29 Oct 2025 | 
Pyka designs and manufactures autonomous electric aircraft for agricultural and cargo applications. Their Pelican 2 crop sprayer utilizes hot-swappable batteries and advanced sensors for efficient and precise spraying. Having received the first FAA approval for a large autonomous electric aircraft, Pyka has introduced the Pelican Cargo variant and develops its core technology internally.
Tesla's Swedish Standoff: When Silicon Valley Meets Union Solidarity
29 Oct 2025 | 
Tesla faces a prolonged labor strike in Sweden over its refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement. What began with 70 mechanics has grown into a nationwide solidarity movement, challenging Tesla's anti-union stance. The dispute highlights a clash between Silicon Valley individualism and Nordic labor consensus, raising global questions about the future of work, electrification, and corporate accountability.
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.
