Letting EVs Take A Load Off The Grid Could Result In 'Negative Emissions' While Saving Drivers Money
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab study finds EVs can reduce grid strain and emissions by charging during low-demand periods and discharging during peak times. This vehicle-to-grid (V2G) strategy could lead to net-negative emissions and save drivers money. Researchers highlight EVs' potential as mobile energy storage, supporting renewables and cutting fossil fuel reliance - all while benefiting both the grid and consumers.Elon Musk Is Lying About Tesla's Self-Driving And I Have The DMs To Prove It
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Electrek's Fred Lambert reveals DMs showing Elon Musk once admitted radar could enhance Tesla’s vision-based self-driving - contradicting his current claims that radar and lidar reduce safety. Despite Musk's push for a camera-only system, rivals like Waymo use sensor fusion and operate rider-only robotaxis. The article argues Tesla's vision-only approach stems from internal limitations, not superior safety.Dacia's Wild-Looking Ultracompact Hipster EV Concept
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Dacia's Hipster EV concept is a minimalist, ultra-affordable electric vehicle designed as a modern "people’s car." With a boxy, overhang-free design, strap door handles, and bench seating, it emphasizes simplicity, cost-cutting, and charm. Built to near-production standards, it features clever design touches like integrated rear lights and openwork headrests. If produced, it could launch under $20,000, targeting urban drivers seeking practicality and personality.SAIC's MG4 Leads World in Deployment of Semi-Solid-State Battery
17 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
China's SAIC MG has launched the MG4, the first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery using manganese-based lithium-ion chemistry. This breakthrough offers higher energy density, improved safety, and environmental benefits over traditional LFP batteries. Approved for sale in China, the MG4 signals a major leap in EV tech - underscoring China's lead in battery innovation and cost-effective electric mobilityLiquid Air Could Be the Clean Energy Storage Breakthrough the Planet Needs
16 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) cools and compresses air into a liquid, storing renewable energy for later use. It's scalable, low-impact, and ideal for balancing intermittent sources like wind and solar. When demand rises, the liquid air is warmed, expands, and drives turbines to generate electricity. LAES could be a breakthrough for clean energy storage with 50-70% efficiency, offering long-duration capacity without geographic limits or toxic materials.

AI's Power Problem: The Hidden Grid Strain Behind the Digital Boom
05 Nov 2025 | 
A New York Times op-ed warns that AI and data centers are driving up electricity demand, straining grids, and raising power bills. Tech firms often obscure their energy use while consumers bear infrastructure costs. The piece calls for mandatory energy disclosures, better regulation, and more efficient AI systems. It challenges the myth of "clean tech" and urges climate policy to address digital infrastructure’s growing carbon footprint.
Sportivetta Zero1: ItalSpeedForm's Microcar for the Post-Diesel City
04 Nov 2025 | 
ItalSpeedForm Design Studio is offering its Sportivetta Zero1 microcar prototype for sale - a modular, road-tested L6 quadricycle with a diesel engine and EV-ready architecture. Designed by Italo Federico Sciacca, it targets Europe's growing urban mobility market. The package includes full design rights, a business plan, and financial projections. Ideal for EV startups or manufacturers seeking a fast entry into the €800M L6 segment by 2027. Final type approval is buyer's responsibility.
False Binaries and Fossil Frames: Why the Real Climate Challenge Isn't Just Upstream
04 Nov 2025 | 
The Eurasia Review op-ed argues that decarbonizing fuels and electricity - not regulating consumer products - is the real climate priority. But this framing creates a false binary. Demand-side policies like EV mandates and efficiency standards drive upstream change. Ignoring them weakens climate strategy. Effective solutions require systems thinking, not either-or arguments. Climate action must target both supply and demand to succeed.
Tailpipe Truthers and the Post-EV Gambit: Mazda's Contrarian Climate Play
04 Nov 2025 |
Mazda challenges EV orthodoxy by arguing that tailpipe emissions alone don't tell the full climate story. At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, it promoted a lifecycle emissions approach, favoring plug-in hybrids, synthetic fuels, and fuel-flexible drivetrains over full electrification. Critics see this as stalling, but Mazda frames it as a long-term bet on energy diversity and grid realism. Whether it’s visionary or outdated depends on how the world decarbonizes.
Trail Theater: Toyota's Scion 01 Concept Reviewed
04 Nov 2025 | 
Toyota's Scion 01 Concept is a hybrid off-road side-by-side with bold styling and a Tacoma-derived powertrain. It features "Silent Mode" for short-range electric-only driving but lacks plug-in capability or new battery tech. Despite its aggressive design and nostalgic branding, it offers no real innovation - just a repackaged hybrid system in a concept shell. It's more marketing theater than a meaningful step forward in electric mobility.
