The surge in EV chargers near Premier League stadiums marks a win for UK drivers, showing that charging is expanding beyond motorways into busy urban hubs. Football matchdays draw huge crowds, making accessible chargers crucial for reducing range anxiety. This growth signals broader public charging integration into everyday destinations, supporting the UK's EV adoption goals and making matchday travel cleaner.12 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Kandi Technologies - a once modest budget EV maker - is now a central player in China's battery swap infrastructure. Its subsidiary, China Battery Exchange, will supply key components (station structures, robotic arms, thermal modules) for CATL's ambitious plan to deploy over 10,000 swap stations nationwide. With 90-second swaps, both single-use and subscription pricing, Kandi is targeting fleet operators while drawing investor attention.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.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 $65,500.08 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Ho Chi Minh City introduced 27 new electric bus routes on August 1, adding 443 electric buses and boosting its total EV fleet to 613—now over 26% of its public bus system. Combined with around 500 CNG buses, almost half the fleet runs on clean energy. The new vehicles - models B30‑EV and B60‑EV - offer 30–60 seats, GPS, onboard cameras, free Wi‑Fi, automated announcements, and cashless payment. Authorities aim for a fully green bus fleet by 2030.

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.

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.

Bako Motors is a Tunisian EV startup building solar-powered tricycles for last-mile logistics. Their vehicles are indigenous designs, not Chinese kits, with modular platforms and rooftop solar panels. Expanding into Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Qatar, Bako focuses on regional manufacturing and energy efficiency. The B1 model delivers up to 12 km/kWh of driving range efficiency, with simple lithium-ion batteries and low maintenance needs - ideal for emerging market fleets.

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, 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.
