Two breakthrough techs will accelerate fossil fuel decline: Hyundai's solid-state battery with copper anodes (higher energy density, safer, cheaper) & Orbis HaloDrive axial flux motor (100 Nm/kg torque, 35% cheaper, 97% efficient). Despite fossil fuel industry's political control of Congress and the Trump regime, unstoppable tech progress will make them obsolete. Let's just make sure taxpayers won't be asked to bail them out.18 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Los Alamos nuclear physicist proposes converting radioactive waste into tritium - the rare $33M/kg fusion fuel that is quickly running out. Using particle accelerators & molten lithium, the process could produce 10x more tritium than fusion reactors while solving nuclear waste crisis. However, it faces challenges: massive infrastructure needs, precise timing, & unproven at scale. It could transform a liability into a climate solution.18 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Arbon, Switzerland is launching ARTOUR, the country's first autonomous electric bus, in late 2025. The Karsan e-ATAK will run a 2.5 km route with nine stops, linking the historic center to Saurer Werk 2 housing. Operated by Eurobus Ostschweiz AG under the SCCL project, it aims to boost tourism and sustainable mobility. ARTOUR offers zero-emission travel and showcases Switzerland's push toward smart, eco-friendly public transport.18 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
After Elon Musk abruptly fired Tesla's entire Supercharger team, three ex-employees launched Hubber, a UK-based EV charging startup focused on high-speed urban hubs for taxis and delivery fleets. Leveraging their experience deploying over 1,200 chargers, they aim to fill the urban fast-charging gap. Backed by £60M (~$81M), Hubber's first site opens August 20 in South London with 12 bays and up to 300kW chargers.18 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian's spin-out, Also, is a billion-dollar bet on premium small-format EVs like e-bikes and scooters. Incubated as "Project Inder," it's now a standalone company backed by Greenoaks Capital. With design input from Jony Ive's LoveFrom and Rivian's tech, Also aims to bring connected, stylish micromobility to urban markets. Though no products are launched yet, its strategy blends Rivian's infrastructure with startup agility..."

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.

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 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.

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, 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.
