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

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.
