While a young Tesla driver in Florida safely navigated floodwaters, praising its sealed battery and electronics, such flooding should be avoided despite added protection. Such designs make EVs more water-resistant than gas cars, lacking air intakes and exhausts, but deep water poses risks - corrosion, mold, or electrical damage if seals fail, creating short-circuits and potential battery fire.07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Chevrolet Silverado EV has achieved a record-breaking 1,059 miles on a single charge, more than doubling its EPA rating. GM engineers accomplished this by utilizing efficient driving techniques and minimizing energy consumption, including maintaining 20-25 mph speeds and using a battery-powered fan for cooling. The achievement demonstrates the Silverado EV's potential range in optimal conditions, contributing to advancements in electric vehicle technology."07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The US Air Force seeks to purchase two Tesla Cybertrucks for use as targets in precision munitions testing and training. Citing potential use by adversaries, the Air Force aims to prepare for real-world scenarios involving durable vehicles like the Cybertruck. The trucks will be transported to the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, contributing to the Special Operations Command's Stand Off Precision Guided Munitions program.07 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A jury found Tesla partially liable in a fatal crash involving Autopilot and awarded $243 million in damages. Evidence showed Tesla withheld critical crash data and misled investigators. Despite knowing the system had limitations, Elon Musk claimed Teslas "can drive themselves." TechDirt highlights this as a dangerous disconnect between Tesla's marketing and reality, raising serious concerns about transparency, safety, and accountability in autonomous vehicle development."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.

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.

Douglas McIntyre's video parrots RFK Jr.'s health claims about wind farms without evidence, echoing Trump-era attacks on renewables. By amplifying fringe concerns and ignoring scientific consensus, the video promotes misinformation that undermines climate policy and public trust. Wind energy is not the enemy - ignorance is.

Urban Connect is a modular micromobility hub concept design-ed for dense, transit-rich cities, not unlike that designed by EV World founder and editor-in-chief in 2018. With secure docking, solar charging, and smart tech integration, these hubs support shared and private e-vehicles while boosting public transit use. Deployment costs range from $25K to $75K, with benefits including reduced emissions, improved public health, and expanded access.

Voltaic Marine, an electric boat startup from Oregon, is relocating to Michigan after a $3M pre-seed round. Drawn by state grants and Detroit's manufacturing strength, the company will begin commercial production of its AEW24 wakeboat in 2026 with Detroit Manufacturing Systems and Kinetyc. The move reflects a broader trend: clean-tech firms prioritizing scalable infrastructure and policy support over coastal startup hubs.
