A viral video raised concerns about radiation exposure in Teslas, but experts say the fears are unfounded. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in EVs, including Teslas, are well below safety limits set by international guidelines. Studies show no evidence of harmful radiation from EVs, and Tesla vehicles comply with all regulatory standards. Experts emphasize that driving an EV poses no known radiation risk to passengers.27 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
French startup Cixi has unveiled the Vigoz, a lightweight electric car that reaches 75 mph and features bicycle pedals to supplement battery charging. While pedaling alone won't fully power the vehicle, it adds a unique human-electric hybrid experience. Designed for urban mobility, the Vigoz blends EV tech with fitness. Cixi has released video footage and technical specs confirming it's a working prototype - not just a concept.27 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The Trump administration has halted offshore wind projects, revoked permits, and redirected funding to fossil fuel infrastructure, citing energy reliability. Surprisingly, some fossil fuel executives oppose the move, warning it undermines investment stability and shared infrastructure. The rollback threatens jobs, climate goals, and U.S. competitiveness, prompting a broad coalition to call for balanced, future-ready energy policy.26 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Lucid has delivered its first Gravity robotaxi to Nuro, marking a key step in autonomous EV deployment. The vehicle will join Uber's fleet, blending Lucid’s luxury EV design with Nuro's self-driving tech. Nuro, known for its compact autonomous delivery vehicles, is expanding into passenger transport. This collaboration aims to accelerate commercial robotaxi services by combining premium electric mobility with advanced AI-driven autonomy.26 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
Leapmotor has produced its one-millionth EV, marking a major milestone in its global growth. Backed by Stellantis, the Chinese automaker is rapidly expanding across Europe with over 600 sales and service points. Models like the T03 and C10 are now available in Ireland, Bulgaria, and Central Europe. The partnership with Stellantis enables Leapmotor to scale manufacturing and distribution, positioning it as a rising force in affordable electric mobility.

The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.

Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.

A recent BGR article overstates EV tire costs and ignores fuel savings, regenerative braking, and tire tech advances. Most EV drivers spend ~$2,100–$2,700 on tires over 100,000 miles - not $3,600. EVs save thousands in fuel and benefit from smoother wear profiles. Brands like Goodyear and Michelin now offer EV-specific tires with longer life and better efficiency. The article lacks context and deserves correction.

Toyota's "1 EV = 90 hybrids" logic reflects lithium scarcity, but sodium-ion batteries challenge that premise. Sodium offers low-cost, abundant chemistry for short-range EVs, decoupling electrification from lithium dependence. National policy shapes adoption: Europe favors full EVs, the U.S. subsidizes hybrids, and emerging markets seek pragmatic solutions. The battery divide is not just technical - it's strategic, reshaping the future of mobility.
