Electric Vehicle Taxes by State, 2025
24 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
As EV adoption grows, states face declining gas tax revenue and are responding with varied policies. Forty states now impose higher annual registration fees on EVs - ranging from $50 to $260 - to offset lost fuel taxes. Seventeen states offer purchase incentives, while some also tax EV charging. A few states have launched per-mile VMT programs to better link road use to funding. The landscape reflects tension between promoting EVs and maintaining infrastructure budgetsHow to Use Your EV as a Home Backup Power Source
23 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
EVs can serve as emergency power sources during outages. While the 12V auxiliary battery offers limited backup for small devices, bidirectional EVs (like the F-150 Lightning or Kia EV9) can power homes for hours or days. Non-bidirectional models require complex retrofits. Home batteries remain the most reliable option. Choosing the right setup depends on your energy needs and vehicle capabilities.China EV Crossroads: Investor Optimism vs. Industry Fragility
23 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Chinese EV makers like Nio and XPeng face a paradox. Stocks are rising as investors bet on innovation, yet fundamentals look fragile. Reports show unsold inventory piling up, delayed supplier payments exceeding 200 days, and dependence on subsidies and debt. Optimism reflects faith in long-term growth, but sustainability hinges on converting production into real demand.Cadillac's Elevated Velocity Concept Signals GM's Electric Ambitions
22 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Cadillac's Elevated Velocity concept EV showcases GM's bold push into electric luxury and performance. With off-road capability, immersive wellness tech, and autonomous features, it signals GM’s intent to electrify beyond sedans - targeting aspirational, versatile segments.

22 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Science journalist Peter Brannen reframes carbon dioxide not as a villain but as an essential molecule that has shaped life and Earth's history through the global carbon cycle. His book highlights how CO₂ has modulated climate, driven evolution, and enabled civilization. Yet current fossil-fuel–driven CO₂ emissions are unprecedented in speed, potentially threatening stability built over deep time.

Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | 
Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
12 Oct 2025 | 
The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
