An EV Road User Charge Is Looming. Could It Slam The Brakes On Australia's Clean Car Transition?
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
As Australia's electric vehicle fleet grows, the government is considering a road user charge to replace dwindling fuel excise revenue. A proposal from New South Wales suggests a fee of 2.97 cents per kilometre for battery EVs, with collection potentially based on distance driven. Critics worry this will hinder the clean transport transition, arguing the charge should apply to all vehicles, not just EVs. Rivian R4 And R5 Will Be Lower-Cost 'Siblings' Than R2 And R3, CEO Says
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe reveals R4 & R5 EVs in early concept stage as "sibling set" sharing new platform, priced lower than upcoming R2/R3 models ($45K starting). While Tesla's Musk calls cheap EVs "pointless" without autonomy, Rivian pursues full-line automaker strategy with mainstream affordable EVs. No engineering teams assigned yet - purely conceptual stage.Charted: Global EV Adoption (2019 vs. 2025)
24 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Global sales of electrified vehicles (EVs) soared from just 9% of the market in 2019 to 43% in the first quarter of 2025. This dramatic increase is largely propelled by China, which accounts for 57% of global battery-electric vehicle registrations. Consequently, the market share of traditional combustion engine vehicles has fallen from 91.2% to 56.7% in the same period, highlighting a rapid shift in consumer preference toward electric and hybrid options.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.

Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
Buick Electra E5: China-Built EV Poised for U.S. Launch
16 Oct 2025 | 
Buick's Electra E5, built in China by SAIC-GM, is set to become GM's first imported EV for the U.S. market. Though its launch was delayed indefinitely in 2024, a tentative 2026 rollout remains part of GM's electrification roadmap. With Ultium battery tech, strong performance specs, and positive reception in China, the Electra E5 represents a strategic shift in global EV sourcing and branding.
China's EV Boom Masks a Hidden Inventory Problem
15 Oct 2025 | 
China's EV market shows strong wholesale growth, but retail sales lag behind. In April 2025, the wholesale-retail ratio hit 1.27:1, signaling inventory buildup. Automakers push stock to dealers to meet targets, risking oversupply. Analysts warn this gap could lead to price wars and financial strain. Retail data offers a clearer view of consumer demand and market health.
Putting Children First: Lessons from Paris for Atlanta
15 Oct 2025 | 
Paris redesigned its streets with children in mind - wider sidewalks, less traffic, and safer zones near schools. This child-first approach improved mobility for all, including seniors and cyclists. Atlanta can learn from Paris by investing in protected bike lanes, rethinking zoning, and prioritizing equity. A city where children thrive is safer, healthier, and more connected. The shift is not just practical - it's a moral imperative.
Micromobility's Insurance Gap: What Riders Need to Know
15 Oct 2025 | 
Micromobility use is surging, but insurance coverage lags. Most auto and home policies exclude e-bikes and scooters, leaving riders exposed. Accidents are rising, and shared services often don't cover users. InsurTech firms offer on-demand solutions, but adoption is low. Riders should check existing coverage, consider standalone policies, and push for clearer regulations to close the gap and ensure safe, sustainable urban transport.
