Renewable Energy Outpaces Coal For Electricity Generation In Historic First, Report Says
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
In the first half of 2025, renewable energy generated more global electricity than coal for the first time - 30% vs. 27%, per Ember. Solar and wind led the surge, especially in China and India. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called it a "historic opportunity," urging nations to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels and embrace a clean energy future powered by investment and equity.Thought The Yangwang Was Fast? These Are The 32 Fastest EVs On The Planet
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Top Gear ranks the 32 fastest electric vehicles, spanning cars, bikes, planes, and trains. Highlights include the Rimac Nevera R (268mph), Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Innovation plane (387mph), and France's TGV train (357mph). The fastest is BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme at 308.4mph for production cars, while Japan's L0 maglev train tops all at 375mph. The list showcases global EV speed innovation across all transport modes. Three are friends of EV World.Clear Skies Ahead - Delta Partners With Maeve On M80 Hybrid Regional Aircraft
15 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Delta Air Lines Delta is partnering with Maeve to develop the M80, a hybrid-electric regional aircraft aiming for 40% fuel savings. It uses electric motors to spin exterior fan blades, powered by batteries recharged via onboard turbine engines that also provide thrust. This setup reduces emissions on short-haul routes. Maeve targets a 2031 launch, with Delta's support signaling growing airline interest in sustainable aviation.Sinn Power Inaugurates Its First Floating Photovoltaic System With Vertical Modules
14 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Sinn Power has launched its first floating photovoltaic (FPV) installation in Germany using vertical photovoltaic modules arranged east-west with open water corridors. Located at the Jais gravel plant in Starnberg, it delivers 1.87 MW while covering just 4.65% of the lake surface - well under the legal 15%. The SKipp technology features a keel-like substructure for stability, with minimal surface shading and harm to the aquatic habitat.Why US About-Face Is Not A Death Knell For Global Climate Action
13 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Despite ailing US President's rollback of the nation's climate policies and withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, global climate action persists. Emissions may have peaked due to rising renewable investment. Nations like China are stepping up, and no country has followed the U.S. in leaving the Paris deal. Subnational actors like California remain engaged. COP30 may still drive progress, even without U.S. leadership.

Energy Literacy and the Limits of Electrification
28 Oct 2025 | 
COP30 will spotlight renewable electricity, but a recent op-ed by Ronald Stein and Yoshihiro Muronaka warns that wind and solar cannot replace the fossil-derived materials essential to modern life. From steel and plastics to EV components, hydrocarbons remain foundational. True climate progress requires energy literacy - understanding what electricity can and cannot do - and a balanced approach to decarbonization rooted in material reality.
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.
