Big Tech Wants Nuclear-Powered AI Now, But Here's What They're Not Telling Us
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
To power US data centers with the tech would require a large-scale, all-hands-on-deck deployment of (currently non-existent) SMRs in every corner of the grid. That means a flood of funding, the use of legacy reactors in the meantime (hopefully without any accidents), and a lot of luck. In the meantime, the explosive growth in data centers will create distress for local residents, as well as the planet. A Tiny 29-Pound Electric Motor Just Beat Everyone in Power Density
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Yasa, a UK-based engineering firm under Mercedes-Benz, has created a breakthrough prototype electric motor weighing just 28.8 lb and generating 737.5 hp - setting a new benchmark for power density at roughly 42 W/kg. While Koenigsegg's Dark Matter motor delivers 800 hp, it is significantly heavier. Yasa's design avoids exotic materials, enabling scalable production of up to 50,000 units annually.Elysian E9X: Europe's 90-Seat Electric Aircraft Targets 2033 Entry
30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Dutch startup Elysian Aircraft is developing the E9X, a 90-seat fully electric aircraft with a 500-mile range, targeting entry into service by 2033. Featuring eight wing-mounted propellers and battery integration, the E9X aims to offer zero-emission short-haul flights. Backed by TU Delft, KLM, and Aernnova, the project addresses major engineering hurdles and is entering detailed design. A prototype is expected by 2030, with total development costs projected at $10 billion."Second‑Life Honda & Nissan EV Packs Power 24 MWh Texas Grid Storage
29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
California‑based B2U Storage Solutions is building a 24 MWh energy storage facility east of San Antonio using ~500 second‑life EV battery packs - sourced from retired Honda and Nissan electric vehicles previously deployed in its California system. Their UL‑certified modular "plug‑and‑play" EPS system skips costly refurbishing and uses AI to manage trading into CPS Energy's grid. Texas is one of four planned sites totaling 100 MWh by mid‑2026.Lucid Air: 72,000 Miles, $0 Maintenance vs. $4,850 on a Corvette C8
29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
A Lucid Air owner reports driving 72,000 miles with zero maintenance expenses—only new tires at 70K miles due to accidental damage. In contrast, maintaining a 2020 Corvette C8 over the same distance would cost approximately $4,850 for oil changes, transmission service, and tires. The post highlights the time and cost advantages of an EV over a gas-powered muscle car.

China's EV Boom Masks a Hidden Inventory Problem
15 Oct 2025 | 
China's EV market shows strong wholesale growth, but retail sales lag behind. In April 2025, the wholesale-retail ratio hit 1.27:1, signaling inventory buildup. Automakers push stock to dealers to meet targets, risking oversupply. Analysts warn this gap could lead to price wars and financial strain. Retail data offers a clearer view of consumer demand and market health.
Putting Children First: Lessons from Paris for Atlanta
15 Oct 2025 | 
Paris redesigned its streets with children in mind - wider sidewalks, less traffic, and safer zones near schools. This child-first approach improved mobility for all, including seniors and cyclists. Atlanta can learn from Paris by investing in protected bike lanes, rethinking zoning, and prioritizing equity. A city where children thrive is safer, healthier, and more connected. The shift is not just practical - it's a moral imperative.
Micromobility's Insurance Gap: What Riders Need to Know
15 Oct 2025 | 
Micromobility use is surging, but insurance coverage lags. Most auto and home policies exclude e-bikes and scooters, leaving riders exposed. Accidents are rising, and shared services often don't cover users. InsurTech firms offer on-demand solutions, but adoption is low. Riders should check existing coverage, consider standalone policies, and push for clearer regulations to close the gap and ensure safe, sustainable urban transport.
UAE's AAM Aspirations Take Flight In Ras Al Khaimah
14 Oct 2025 | 
XPeng AeroHT completed manned flight tests of its Land Aircraft Carrier in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. The modular system combines a five-seat EV with a detachable two-seat eVTOL drone. Backed by a UAE flight permit, the tests support the country's broader strategy to lead in urban air mobility through infrastructure, regulation, and commercialization. XPeng, now branded as Aridge, has secured 600 regional orders and plans further expansion.
Can 24M's Battery Deliver 1,000 Miles?
14 Oct 2025 | 
24M Technologies claims its SemiSolid battery design could enable 1,000-mile EV range. The architecture promises higher energy density, lower costs, and improved safety, but remains in development. Real-world deployment depends on materials, manufacturing scalability, and market demand. If successful, it could redefine electric mobility.
