Ford Throws Out Henry Ford's Assembly Line To Make Low-Cost EVs In America
12 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Ford is scrapping its century-old straight-line assembly line for a three-branch "assembly tree" setup, enabling parallel construction of EV modules. Investing almost $5 billion, Ford will retool its Louisville plant, aiming to produce a mid-size electric pickup starting at $30,000 in 2027. Powered by cost-effective domestic LFP batteries, the overhaul is designed to cut assembly complexity, speed up production, and bolster U.S. competitiveness.Return of the Chevy Camaro, But This Time It's An Electric SUV
12 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Camaro is set to return as an electric fastback SUV - not a coupe - slated for fall 2026. Expected variants range from single-motor, rear-drive models (241–365 hp) to dual-motor AWD (300 hp) and high-performance SS (615 hp) trims, with a possible 1,000-hp ZL1 using Hummer EV tech. Battery options likely include 85 kWh and 102 kWh packs, with charging up to 190 kW. Prices are estimated between $36,000 and $65,500.Dozens Of New Electric Bus Routes For Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
28 Oct 2025 | 
France's A10 motorway now features a live inductive charging lane, letting EV trucks gain 1.5–3 km of range while driving. Similar pilots in Germany and Italy use embedded coils, while Sweden's eRoadArlanda powers trucks via overhead or in-road conductive systems. These dynamic charging projects aim to reduce battery size, cut downtime, and enable continuous freight operation - signaling a shift toward electrified logistics corridors across Europe.

Mining's PR Mirage: Why Sandvik's Metal-Free EV Is a Clever Illusion
27 Oct 2025 | 
Sandvik's "eNimon" sculpture - a nonfunctional EV made without metals - is a PR stunt, not innovation. Framed as a warning against anti-mining sentiment, it sidesteps real concerns about environmental harm and responsible extraction. While EVs require mined materials, most offset their production emissions within 1-2 years. The campaign oversimplifies the debate, mocking critics instead of addressing how mining can evolve. It's a clever illusion - but one that dodges accountability.
Infinite Machine: Design-Driven Urban EVs with European Aspirations
27 Oct 2025 | 
Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based EV startup, unveiled its P1 scooter and Olto moped at EICMA 2025, targeting European urban riders. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nico Rosberg, the company blends design and performance but has yet to confirm production or deliveries. With prototypes and press buzz, it's not vaporware - but remains unproven. European rollout begins in 2026 via select dealers.
