China's Cheap EV Dominance Is On The Verge Of Imploding
07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
China's dominance in cheap EVs is built on a fragile foundation. An unsustainable price war among 100+ brands, fueled by now-expiring government subsidies, has made most automakers unprofitable. Experts predict a market "implosion," leading to mass bankruptcies and consolidation. While consumers currently benefit from low prices, a massive industry shakeout is expected, leaving only a few strong players standing.It Looks Like Honda's First EV Motorcycle Is Finally Ready, and It'll Drop Soon
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Honda is set to unveil its first performance-focused electric motorcycle on September 2, 2025, likely based on its EV Fun Concept seen at EICMA. A teaser video shows a masked prototype with refinements like a rectangular TFT display, single-sided swingarm, and sportbike ergonomics. While Honda hasn't confirmed if it's production-ready, the model is expected to launch later in 2025 as a mid‑size electric sportbike.Act of Resistence: The Time Is Right to Switch to an Electric Vehicle
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Congress has shortened the federal EV tax credit window: new vehicle buyers can receive up to $7,500 before the program expires on September 30, 2025, with used EVs eligible for up to $4,000. Additional incentives - including California's Driving Clean Assistance program offering up to $12,000 - can often be stacked to lower costs further. Local agencies like the Community Environmental Council provide personalized support to help residents navigate EV purchase programs."The Kia EV4 Ran For 6,200 Miles At The Nurburgring. Its Battery Wouldn't Die
06 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Kia subjected the EV4 to a grueling 6,200‑mile battery stress test at Nurburgring - flooring it repeatedly and using fast charging - and found its battery retained 95% health, equivalent to over 160,000 miles of "real‑world" driving. Overall testing exceeded 74,000 miles, demonstrating exceptional battery resilience. Kia also backs the EV4 with a warranty guaranteeing at least 70% capacity after 100,000 miles or eight years.The First Fully Electric Venetian Water Taxi Can Cruise the Canals All Day

BrightDrop Fades Out: What's Next for Retail EV Fleets?
21 Oct 2025 | 
GM has ended production of its BrightDrop electric vans, leaving retailers like Target and Walmart seeking alternatives. Fewer than 2,000 vans are in service, far below expectations. Ford's E-Transit, Rivian's RCV, and Mercedes' U.S.-built eSprinter are the most viable replacements. BrightDrop's failure highlights the challenges of scaling commercial EVs amid shifting incentives and slow fleet adoption.

From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers
21 Oct 2025 | 
Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.
EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
