Rivian and Ben & Jerry’s have teamed up to create two all-electric "scoop trucks" built on Rivian's Commercial Van platform. Debuting at SXSW in Austin, the eco-friendly vehicles boast a 161-mile range and combine refrigeration and serving windows inside. After the launch, they'll travel nationwide...to bring scoops with less noise, emissions, and fossil-fuel reliance...showcasing Rivian's commercial EV versatility..."
For 2025, several EVs balance affordability and range. Forbes highlights 10 models under $45K with at least 245 miles per charge. Top values include the Tesla Model 3 ($34,990/363 mi), Tesla Model Y ($37,490/357 mi), Chevy Equinox EV ($33,600/319 mi), Ford Mustang Mach-E ($37,995/260 mi), and Toyota bZ4X ($37,070/252 mi). But if you're looking for more "bang for the buck" in range, MS Copilot LLM created the above table for EVWorld.com.
Volkswagen just delivered the 1.5 millionth all-electric ID model, a black ID.7 Tourer Pro, at its Emden plant in Germany, marking a major milestone in its electromobility push. The car, boasting a range of up to 606 km, was handed over in the presence of VW executives and Lower Saxony's Minister President. Emden - Sone of only three VW factories fully dedicated to EVs - reflects over €1 billion in investment.
A U.S. appeals court reinstated an $81M judgment against Boeing for interfering with Zunum Aero, an electric plane startup it once funded. The ruling highlights tensions between Boeing's role as investor and competitor in advanced air mobility. Boeing's backing of Wisk Aero, which settled a trade secrets fight with rival Archer, further underscores conflicts of interest as aerospace giants shape the future of electric and autonomous flight.
Italian EV maker Tazzari quietly continues building ultra-light city cars, while its U.S. partner Imola Automotive USA promised six factories and 45,000 jobs - but delivered none. Despite flashy renderings and bold claims, Imola has stalled, leaving towns waiting. Tazzari, though small, remains credible. The tale contrasts real innovation with speculative hype in the evolving EV landscape.
Hydrogen's Flight Path: Fuel Cells, Turbines, and the Economics of Clean Aviation
10 Oct 2025 | Aviation is shifting from Jet A to four fuel systems: electricity, hydrogen (fuel cell and combustion), SAF, and petroleum. Fuel cells suit short-haul aircraft; hydrogen combustion may power long-range jets. SAF bridges legacy fleets. Hydrogen costs - $5-$7/kg today, possibly $2/kg by 2040 - impact ticket prices and infrastructure decisions. Airport authorities, airlines, and governments will share deployment costs. Each fuel has distinct environmental pros and cons shaping aviation's net-zero future.
