GM CEO: Automaker Planning Entire Affordable EV Range
21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
GM President Mark Reuss confirmed a new family of affordable Chevrolet EVs launching by 2027, starting with a redesigned Bolt. Built on GM’s Ultium platform, the lineup will offer improved range, lower costs, and broader appeal. Reuss emphasized GM's commitment to mainstream electrification, with multiple models planned to follow the Bolt. The goal: make EVs accessible without sacrificing performance or utility.Norway's Ferry Operator Norled Could Have Saved Money & Staff by Skipping Hydrogen
21 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Norway's ferry operator Norled lost €85M after investing in hydrogen ferries like MF Hydra, which cost more to build and operate than battery-electric or diesel alternatives. Hydrogen fuel is expensive, inefficient, and emits more CO2 than expected - double that of diesel and 40x more than electric. Battery ferries like MF Nesvik prove cheaper, cleaner, and more practical. Critics say Norled's hydrogen gamble cost jobs and failed to deliver strategic value.Archer Beats Out Joby for Lilium eVTOL Patents
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
US-based Archer Aviation acquired 300 patents from bankrupt German eVTOL firm Lilium for $21M, beating Joby, its competitor. The deal includes ducted fan tech, aircraft design, and battery systems. Archer plans to expand beyond air taxis into cargo, defense, and sport aviation. Lilium's collapse reflects broader industry consolidation, as well-funded players absorb assets from struggling startups. Lilium spent more than $1.5 billion developing these technologies.Rebooting the 2027 Chevy Bolt Was More Complex Than You'd Think
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The 2027 Chevy Bolt retains its familiar look but features a nearly complete electrical overhaul. Built on GM's Global B architecture, it supports OTA updates and advanced driver aids. It uses LFP batteries for ~255 miles of range and 150kW fast charging (10–80% in 26 minutes), plus Tesla's NACS port. Production shifts from Michigan to Kansas, reusing body tooling to cut costs. Target price is under $30K, with deliveries starting January 2027.A Power Outage Means You Can't Charge Your EV: What Do You Do?
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
If your power goes out, your home EV charging stops - but so do gasoline pumps, so you’re not at a unique disadvantage. Most outages are short: the average US user experienced under six hours of interruption in 2023. To prepare, keep your EV topped up (rather than waiting until very low), know public DC and Level-2 charging stations within about 25–50 miles, and if you have a generator, wiring for at least a trickle charge helps.

Charging in Motion: Europe's Electric Roads Are Quietly Rewiring Freight Logistics
28 Oct 2025 | 
France's A10 motorway now features a live inductive charging lane, letting EV trucks gain 1.5–3 km of range while driving. Similar pilots in Germany and Italy use embedded coils, while Sweden's eRoadArlanda powers trucks via overhead or in-road conductive systems. These dynamic charging projects aim to reduce battery size, cut downtime, and enable continuous freight operation - signaling a shift toward electrified logistics corridors across Europe.
Bako Motors: Tunisia's Solar EV Startup Expands Across Africa and the Gulf
28 Oct 2025 | 
Bako Motors is a Tunisian EV startup building solar-powered tricycles for last-mile logistics. Their vehicles are indigenous designs, not Chinese kits, with modular platforms and rooftop solar panels. Expanding into Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Qatar, Bako focuses on regional manufacturing and energy efficiency. The B1 model delivers up to 12 km/kWh of driving range efficiency, with simple lithium-ion batteries and low maintenance needs - ideal for emerging market fleets.
Mining's PR Mirage: Why Sandvik's Metal-Free EV Is a Clever Illusion
27 Oct 2025 | 
Sandvik's "eNimon" sculpture - a nonfunctional EV made without metals - is a PR stunt, not innovation. Framed as a warning against anti-mining sentiment, it sidesteps real concerns about environmental harm and responsible extraction. While EVs require mined materials, most offset their production emissions within 1-2 years. The campaign oversimplifies the debate, mocking critics instead of addressing how mining can evolve. It's a clever illusion - but one that dodges accountability.
Infinite Machine: Design-Driven Urban EVs with European Aspirations
27 Oct 2025 | 
Infinite Machine, a Brooklyn-based EV startup, unveiled its P1 scooter and Olto moped at EICMA 2025, targeting European urban riders. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Nico Rosberg, the company blends design and performance but has yet to confirm production or deliveries. With prototypes and press buzz, it's not vaporware - but remains unproven. European rollout begins in 2026 via select dealers.
The Uncomfortable Truth Behind Our Push For Clean Tech
27 Oct 2025 | 
China's rare earth export controls are forcing the West to reshore toxic industries once outsourced. Mining and refining rare earths - essential for EVs and defense - carry major environmental risks. Projects in Nebraska and Wyoming face local opposition over health and pollution concerns. The West must now balance its need for green tech materials with the challenge of minimizing environmental and public health impacts at home. Clean energy, it turns out, has a dirty supply chain.
