Plummeting Battery Prices Will Push BEVs Below Parity Soon
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Battery costs are falling so fast that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could reach price parity with internal combustion vehicles within 2-4 years in Europe, and in China some models have already done so. The author expects battery pack costs to drop ~70% over the next five years, which would allow automakers to slash BEV retail prices while maintaining margins. That shift may force more aggressive pricing competition and encourage faster EV adoption.GM Bets Big On Electric Cars Even As Market Slows
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite a slowing EV market, GM remains committed to its electric strategy, citing strong sales growth and expanded market share currently at 17.2% YTD. It offers a wide EV lineup of some 30 models, but has paused some production and laid off workers amid shifting demand. While GM scrapped its all-EV pledge by 2035 and backed regulatory rollbacks, it is reintroducing the affordable Chevy Bolt and aims to balance EV accessibility with profitability.Renewable Energy Outpaces Coal For Electricity Generation In Historic First, Report Says
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
In the first half of 2025, renewable energy generated more global electricity than coal for the first time - 30% vs. 27%, per Ember. Solar and wind led the surge, especially in China and India. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it a "historic opportunity," urging nations to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels and embrace a clean energy future powered by investment and equity.Thought The Yangwang Was Fast?

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
