Morocco will export solar energy to Germany via a 4,800 km undersea cable called Sila Atlantik, delivering up to 26 TWh annually. The cable will run along the Atlantic coast, passing through Portuguese, Spanish, French, Belgian, and Dutch waters before reaching Germany. The project, backed by E.ON and Uniper, is estimated to cost between €40 billion, with developers seeking government guarantees to support this massive clean energy infrastructure.25 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Volkswagen Group will debut its first solid-state battery vehicle by 2025, starting with Ducati's V21L electric motorcycle, a division under VW. Solid-state batteries offer faster charging, longer range, and greater safety than lithium-ion by using solid electrolytes and lithium-metal anodes. Ducati's V21L showcases this tech with 150 hp, 170 mph top speed, and rapid 12-minute charging - marking VW's leap toward next-gen electric mobility.24 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new U.S. residential pilot is using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology to let Ford F-150 Lightning trucks discharge energy back to the electric grid from homeowners. in partnership with Sunrun and utility BGE, participating trucks use their built-in bidirectional inverter and home integration system during evening peak hours to help stabilize demand, while owners earn payments for the energy they supply. This marks a first at-home proof of concept for EVs contributing to grid resilience.

Rory Sutherland argues that behavioral science is key to EV adoption. In the Everything Electric podcast with Imogen Bhogal, he explains that range anxiety is psychological, not technical, and that emotional reassurance matters more than battery size. He advocates for longer test drives, intuitive design, and incentives that reflect real human behavior. The interview challenges engineering-first thinking and urges empathy-driven policy to accelerate the EV transition.
