The Hydrogen Illusion: Poland's Fuel Cell Locomotive and the Uneven Future of Clean Rail
04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Poland's hydrogen-powered SM42-6Dn locomotive marks a symbolic step toward clean rail, but hydrogen trains face steep economic and logistical hurdles. Germany's mixed results, including failures in the Taunus region, highlight infrastructure and reliability issues. Battery-electric trains offer higher efficiency and lower costs, while hydrogen remains a niche solution. Poland’s effort is strategic - more rehearsal than revolution - in a broader push for rail decarbonization.2026 Will Be The 'Year Of The Used EV,' Analyst Says. Here's Why
04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Used EV prices are nearing parity with gas cars, boosting demand despite the end of federal tax credits. Analysts predict 2026 will be the “year of the used EV,” driven by affordability and a surge in lease returns. In August, used EV sales rose 59% year-over-year. Some models, like the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt, are priced under $15,000. State incentives and lower battery costs continue to support the market.NASA Moon Rover Project Pushes Extreme Battery Tech To Its Limits
03 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
GM is adapting its EV battery tech for NASA's Lunar Terrain Vehicle, part of Artemis V. Using durable lithium-ion packs with high-nickel NCMA cathodes, the rover will withstand extreme lunar conditions -temperatures from - 173°C to scorching highs - while operating reliably for 10 years. Four steerable wheels with crab-walk and zero-turn features boost mobility, and fault-tolerant design ensures function even if cells fail, extending U.S. exploration on the Moon.Ford Faces EV Crossroads as Federal Incentives Expire
02 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Ford CEO Jim Farley warns that U.S. EV sales could drop by half following the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit, citing high vehicle costs and reduced consumer demand. Ford is shifting focus to hybrids and more affordable EVs, while some dealers see the change as a chance to test market strength without subsidies. The industry faces uncertainty as it adapts to a post-incentive landscape.The LNG Detour: What Scotland's New Ferry Teaches US
02 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Scotland's Glen Sannox ferry, launched as a “green” LNG-powered vessel, emits more greenhouse gases than its diesel predecessor due to underestimated methane slip. Despite improved local air quality, real-world data shows LNG's climate impact is worse over short timeframes. The project highlights how optimistic assumptions and delayed construction turned a sustainability effort into a cautionary tale about transitional fuels and lifecycle emissions.

Battle of the Boxes: Tokyo's Compact EV Showdown
30 Oct 2025 | 
Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
Why EVs Need Psychology More Than Horsepower
30 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Signal Boosting the White House's Anti-Wind Campaign
30 Oct 2025 | 
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: Modular Mobility Hubs for Transit-Rich Cities
29 Oct 2025 | 
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.
A Great Lakes Homecoming: Voltaic Marine Trades Silicon Forest for Michigan's Manufacturing Heartbeat
29 Oct 2025 | 
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.
