Ford Is A Bellwether: Electric Vehicles Are Coming, Despite Policy Shifts By Oil Bought-Off American Presidency
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Despite Trump's rollback of EV incentives and emissions rules, Ford is doubling down on electrification. It announced a $5B investment in a modular EV platform and a sub-$30K electric pickup by 2027. Driven more by Chinese competition than U.S. politics, Ford aims to streamline production and stay globally competitive. EV sales remain strong outside Tesla, and legacy automakers are shifting toward affordable models and lithium iron phosphate batteries.An EV Road User Charge Is Looming. Could It Slam The Brakes On Australia's Clean Car Transition?
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
As Australia's electric vehicle fleet grows, the government is considering a road user charge to replace dwindling fuel excise revenue. A proposal from New South Wales suggests a fee of 2.97 cents per kilometre for battery EVs, with collection potentially based on distance driven. Critics worry this will hinder the clean transport transition, arguing the charge should apply to all vehicles, not just EVs. Rivian R4 And R5 Will Be Lower-Cost 'Siblings' Than R2 And R3, CEO Says
25 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe reveals R4 & R5 EVs in early concept stage as "sibling set" sharing new platform, priced lower than upcoming R2/R3 models ($45K starting). While Tesla's Musk calls cheap EVs "pointless" without autonomy, Rivian pursues full-line automaker strategy with mainstream affordable EVs. No engineering teams assigned yet - purely conceptual stage.Charted: Global EV Adoption (2019 vs. 2025)
24 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Global sales of electrified vehicles (EVs) soared from just 9% of the market in 2019 to 43% in the first quarter of 2025. This dramatic increase is largely propelled by China, which accounts for 57% of global battery-electric vehicle registrations. Consequently, the market share of traditional combustion engine vehicles has fallen from 91.2% to 56.7% in the same period, highlighting a rapid shift in consumer preference toward electric and hybrid options.Electric Vehicle Taxes by State, 2025
24 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
As EV adoption grows, states face declining gas tax revenue and are responding with varied policies. Forty states now impose higher annual registration fees on EVs - ranging from $50 to $260 - to offset lost fuel taxes. Seventeen states offer purchase incentives, while some also tax EV charging. A few states have launched per-mile VMT programs to better link road use to funding. The landscape reflects tension between promoting EVs and maintaining infrastructure budgets

Can 24M's Battery Deliver 1,000 Miles?
14 Oct 2025 | 
24M Technologies claims its SemiSolid battery design could enable 1,000-mile EV range. The architecture promises higher energy density, lower costs, and improved safety, but remains in development. Real-world deployment depends on materials, manufacturing scalability, and market demand. If successful, it could redefine electric mobility.
The Twilight of Strongmen: Who Falls First - Xi, Putin, or Trump?
14 Oct 2025 | 
Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump each face rising strain despite their dominance. Xi’s grip on China remains firm but brittle, dependent on personal control and secrecy. Putin's regime, weakened by war and elite fatigue, is most likely to collapse first. Trump's fate rests with U.S. institutions and elections. Among the three, Putin risks falling first, Trump next, while Xi remains the most insulated - for now.
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.
