The Infinite - and Insatiable - Growth of Highways
19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Erick Guerra challenges the myth that more highways ease congestion or improve safety. He shows how induced demand, entrenched financial interests, and flawed planning standards drive endless road expansion. Instead, he calls for congestion pricing, downsizing overbuilt roads, and shifting focus from mobility to accessibility - steps he argues are vital for creating a safer, fairer, and more sustainable transportation future.New Technologies Will Hasten The End Of Fossil Fuels. Yay!
19 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
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.Nuclear Alchemy: Turning Waste into Wonder Fuel
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.Switzerland's Innovation in Travel and Tourism: Now, Arbon's Autonomous Electric Bus to Boost Tourism
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.Trio of Ex-Tesla Employees Start EV Charging Company in the UK After Elon Musk Fired Everyone
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.

Electrification Is Not an Oversimplification
23 Oct 2025 | 
Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.
What Is the Real Cost to Replace EV Tires?
23 Oct 2025 | 
A recent BGR article overstates EV tire costs and ignores fuel savings, regenerative braking, and tire tech advances. Most EV drivers spend ~$2,100–$2,700 on tires over 100,000 miles - not $3,600. EVs save thousands in fuel and benefit from smoother wear profiles. Brands like Goodyear and Michelin now offer EV-specific tires with longer life and better efficiency. The article lacks context and deserves correction.
The Battery Divide: Strategic Choices in the Global Race to Electrify Mobility
23 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's "1 EV = 90 hybrids" logic reflects lithium scarcity, but sodium-ion batteries challenge that premise. Sodium offers low-cost, abundant chemistry for short-range EVs, decoupling electrification from lithium dependence. National policy shapes adoption: Europe favors full EVs, the U.S. subsidizes hybrids, and emerging markets seek pragmatic solutions. The battery divide is not just technical - it's strategic, reshaping the future of mobility.
Irizar Expands Electric Bus Lineup with Global Reach and Long-Range Performance
22 Oct 2025 | 
Irizar has launched two new electric buses - the ie bus and i3 Normal Floor - with over 450 km range, advanced safety systems, and modular lithium-ion batteries. The Spanish manufacturer has delivered over 1,000 electric buses globally since 2014. The new models are lighter, seat up to 53 passengers, and meet European safety and cybersecurity standards. With deployments in Europe, Latin America, and Oceania, Irizar is positioned as a global leader in zero-emission transit.
Automakers Take Flight: eVTOL Partnerships and Launch Plans
22 Oct 2025 | 
Automakers are accelerating eVTOL development through strategic partnerships. Archer and Stellantis lead with FAA certification targeted for 2025. Joby and Toyota follow closely, planning launches in the U.S. and Dubai by 2026. Eve, backed by Embraer and Porsche, aims for dual certification in Brazil and the U.S. XPeng and Geely expand in China and the Middle East. Hyundai’s Supernal is paused, and BYD remains in stealth. These ventures blend aerospace innovation with automotive scale.
