The Polestar 3 Just Shattered Range Estimates With A Record-Breaking 580+ Mile Drive
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Polestar 3 electric SUV smashed expectations, driving 581.3 miles (935 km) on public UK roads over nearly 23 hours—averaging 25 mph—and setting a Guinness World Record for longest distance by an EV SUV.

Three drivers rotated every three hours, navigating with standard 20‑inch wheels and Michelin Sport 4 EV tires, demonstrating real-world EV endurance.Swiss Pilot Surpasses Solar-Powered Plane Altitude Record of 31,234 MSL
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Swiss pilot Raphaël Domjan flew the solar-powered SolarStratos to 9,521 m (31,234 ft), breaking the manned electric flight altitude mark set in 2010 by Andre Borschberg in Solar Impulse (9,235 m). Taking advantage of warm air thermals, the 5hr 9min flight originating in Sion, Switzerland required oxygen at altitude and braved –50 °C to –70 °C temperatures. The flight record awaits official certification. Next goal: 10,000 meters.GM Bets on CATL LFP Batteries for New Bolt EV: What It Means for Safety and Cost
13 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
GM will use CATL's LFP batteries for the 2027 Chevy Bolt to cut costs and improve safety, meeting China’s GB 38031-2025 standard. LG will begin domestic LFP production in Michigan by 2027. Trump-era tariffs on Chinese batteries - up to 80% - will raise short-term costs, but GM sees temporary imports as viable. The Bolt will offer 300+ miles of range and Tesla-style charging.Most EV-friendly Premier League Football Stadiums In The UK

Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | 
Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
12 Oct 2025 | 
The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
