The Dutch Blueprint: Infrastructure Supercharges EV Adoption
01 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The Netherlands leans on its robust EV charging infrastructure rather than incentives alone: with 10.04 charge points per 1,000 people and over 157,000 outlets, it's Europe's densest network - even as the country ranks fourth in EV market share (~35%). Policymakers banned fossil-fuel vehicle sales by 2030 and are phasing down subsidies. Challenges now include rising charging costs - up 13% overall and 25% in Amsterdam.Charlie Munger's BYD Bet: Berkshire's Billion-Dollar EV Play
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Charlie Munger led Berkshire Hathaway to invest $230M in BYD in 2008, recognizing its potential in batteries and EVs. Displayed at the Omaha shareholder meeting, BYD grew into a global EV leader. Berkshire's stake peaked near $9.5B, with over $7B in profit from sales. Now holding under 5%, Berkshire's move reflects Munger's long-term vision and BYD's rise as a vertically integrated powerhouse in electric mobility.Mercedes-AMG's Axial Flux Revolution: Real Tech, Not Clickbait
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Mercedes-AMG's axial flux motors from YASA offer up to 4× the torque density of conventional EV motors, enabling compact, oil-cooled drive units with sustained high output. The AMG GT XX concept uses three motors delivering over 1,000 hp and sets the stage for production in 2026. Competing designs from Magnax and Lucchi push efficiency and modularity, but Mercedes leads with centralized deployment on its AMG.EA platform. Axial flux tech outclasses ICE in power, size, and efficiency.Moscow's Electric Bus Expansion Amid the Ukraine War
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Moscow is expanding its electric and autonomous bus fleet, now the largest in Europe, but the Ukraine war has slowed progress. Sanctions and supply shortages hinder access to key tech, forcing a shift to domestic production. Fuel shortages from refinery attacks, cyber disruptions, and strained budgets add pressure. Despite setbacks, Moscow aims to replace diesel buses by 2030, though war-driven economic strain threatens long-term transit modernization.Rivian's Maximus Drive Unit Boosts R2 SUV Power Density & Manufacturing Efficiency
30 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian's Maximus drive unit, launching with the R2 SUV in early 2026, boosts power density by 40% over previous models. It’s smaller, lighter, and easier to manufacture thanks to a simplified stator, integrated cooling and electronics, and fewer fasteners. A redesigned wiring harness further streamlines production, reduces weight enhancing scalability and efficiency.

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.
The Uncomfortable Truth Behind Our Push For Clean Tech
27 Oct 2025 | 
China's rare earth export controls are forcing the West to reshore toxic industries once outsourced. Mining and refining rare earths - essential for EVs and defense - carry major environmental risks. Projects in Nebraska and Wyoming face local opposition over health and pollution concerns. The West must now balance its need for green tech materials with the challenge of minimizing environmental and public health impacts at home. Clean energy, it turns out, has a dirty supply chain.
Toyota Century: Electrified Prestige and Philosophical Pivot
27 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's Century project marks a bold leap into ultra-luxury EV territory, challenging Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Cadillac with Japanese craftsmanship and electrified ambition. Once a domestic icon, the Century now signals Toyota's intent to globalize prestige mobility - quietly, deliberately, and with high-voltage precision.
Unlocking Heat's Hidden Potential: How a Nanoscale Discovery Could Transform Everyday Tech
24 Oct 2025 | 
A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.
Turning the Energy Crunch into a Smart Grid Revolution
24 Oct 2025 | 
America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.
