The Worrisome Trend of the eVTOL Business Model
12 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
eVTOL aircraft face serious business viability issues. GlobeAir's CEO stated there's "no business case" for wide-scale adoption after a failed Lilium partnership. The main problem: battery technology and lack of charging infrastructure at airports make operations economically unviable with "insane" hourly battery replacement costs. Aviation is already a low-margin business, and experimental technology faces high insurance costs. Auto Giant Stellantis Unveils Revolutionary Battery System Unlocking New EV Era
09 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Stellantis unveiled its Intelligent Battery Integrated System (IBIS), merging inverter and charger into the battery for a lighter, more efficient EV powertrain. IBIS boosts energy efficiency by 10%, power output by 15%, and cuts charging time by 15%. Tested in a Peugeot E-3008, it saves weight and space, simplifies maintenance, and eases reuse for energy storage. Stellantis aims for integration by 2030.2027 Chevrolet Bolt: The Comeback Kid of Affordable EVs
09 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt returns as an affordable EV starting at $28,995, now with 150kW fast charging (10–80% in 26 mins), 210 hp, and 255-mile range. Built on the EUV platform, it offers more cargo space and updated tech, including an 11.3" touchscreen and optional Super Cruise. Three trims - LT, LT Comfort, and RS - launch in early 2026 from GM’s Kansas plant.Tesla's "Cheaper" Sub-$40K Model 3 and Model Y
09 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Tesla's new Model 3 and Model Y “Standard” variants, priced under $40K, offer strong range (321 miles) and core tech but cut premium features like powered seats, upgraded audio, and dual motors. The Model 3 is quicker and cheaper, ideal for commuters; the Model Y suits families. Deliveries begin late 2025. While TSLA stock dipped on launch, these models may boost volume and affordability without reinventing the platform.Hydrogen Hits the Dirt: FIA Extreme H World Cup Debut

California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
