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.
Stop Babying Your EV: Hard Acceleration Actually Extends Battery Life by 195K Miles
20 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
A study by Geotab found that electric vehicles (EVs) driven with frequent hard acceleration had battery lifespans extended by up to 195,000 miles. Contrary to common belief, gentle driving may not always benefit EV batteries. The research suggests that consistent, vigorous use helps maintain battery health by keeping cells active and balanced, challenging assumptions about EV driving habits.Bridging The Red-Blue Divide On Climate
18 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The commentary by Ken Silverstein argues that bridging the red-blue divide on climate requires listening, finding shared values, and focusing on practical solutions rather than ideology. He highlights how conservative voices like Heather Reams align clean energy with economic growth, innovation and energy independence.
Polls show strong public support for renewables across political lines.
E-quipment highlight: Tilmor Super E electric cultivating tractor
18 Oct 2025 | Synopsis
The Tilmor Super E is a purpose-built electric cultivating tractor made in the USA. It offers quiet, zero-emission operation and a clear view of the work being done. The tractor features a 48V electric system with an expandable battery platform for up to eight hours of runtime. Designed for precision weeding and cultivating, the Super E aims to provide a better farming experience with reduced maintenance and operational costs.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.

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.
