A new U.S. residential pilot is using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology to let Ford F-150 Lightning trucks discharge energy back to the electric grid from homeowners. in partnership with Sunrun and utility BGE, participating trucks use their built-in bidirectional inverter and home integration system during evening peak hours to help stabilize demand, while owners earn payments for the energy they supply. This marks a first at-home proof of concept for EVs contributing to grid resilience.24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Europeans on much lower salaries can build wealth more effectively than Americans on higher salaries due to socialized or capped big-ticket expenses. The article highlights that Europeans benefit from minimal costs for healthcare, education, and childcare. Additionally, affordable public transport reduces the need for expensive car ownership, and legally mandated paid leave provides a significant, guaranteed financial benefit not common in the U.S24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Kingsmill Bond argues the West is deluding itself about the energy transition. The "electrotech revolution" led by solar, batteries, and EVs is already here, advancing exponentially, and is cheaper than fossil fuels. While emerging markets are embracing this, the West risks being left behind by its outdated assumptions and a linear mindset toward change.24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
XCharge North America has partnered with Ascentium Capital to offer a leasing program for DC fast chargers, aimed at small businesses. This program allows businesses to install chargers, like the GridLink and C6 models, for an affordable monthly rate starting at $800, removing the need for a large upfront investment. The leasing package includes installation, equipment, warranties, and maintenance, and lets the business keep all the charging revenue.22 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Horse Powertrain's C15 is a compact, Euro 7-compliant gasoline generator designed for extended-range EVs. It activates only when battery charge drops, offering 70 kW for sedans and 120 kW for larger vehicles. While efficient, it still emits 120–140 g CO₂/km when active. Backed by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, Horse can mass-produce it—but OEM adoption is key. EREVs face pressure from falling battery costs and rising BEV capabilities.

A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.

America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.

The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.
