The Mercedes-AMG GT XX Just Rewrote the EV Record Book
27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept EV achieved 25 performance records during an eight-day testing campaign at Italy's Nardo Ring. Two prototypes covered over 24,855 miles, with one achieving 3,404 miles in 24 hours. Equipped with an 850 kW DC fast charger, the GT XX gains 124 miles of range in 10 minutes. Powered by a 1,360 hp all-electric powertrain, the GT XX demonstrates Mercedes' dedication to pushing the boundaries of EV performance.Uber Trains and the Eurostar Green Benchmark
27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Eurostar aims to run on 100% renewable electricity by 2030, sourcing from wind, solar, storage, and low-carbon nuclear. Uber's planned train service is expected to follow suit as both rely on UK–EU grids. A London–Paris train trip emits just 2–11 kg CO₂e per passenger versus 50–120 kg by plane, while door-to-door times are comparable (3.5–4h by train vs. 4–5h by air). This makes high-speed rail both cleaner and faster city-centre to city-centre.2,959 HP BYD Yangwang U9 Electric Hypercar Sets New EV Speed Record
27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The BYD Yangwang U9, a high-performance electric vehicle, boasts an impressive 2,959 horsepower. It is capable of reaching a top speed of 293 mph, positioning itself as a leader in electric vehicle speed. This vehicle is part of BYD's luxury brand, Yangwang, and reflects the company's ambitions to compete in the high-end EV market. The U9 is set to challenge both traditional performance cars and newer electric supercars, offering cutting-edge technology and incredible power.New Study Says EVs Really Are Best For The Environment
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
A University of Michigan cradle-to-grave study confirms EVs have lower lifetime greenhouse gas emissions than ICE vehicles, hybrids, and PHEVs. This holds true in every county in the contiguous U.S. Though EV manufacturing creates more emissions, this is offset by their efficiency during operation. For example, a loaded electric pickup emits 30% less than an empty gasoline one.Ozarks Shootout 2025: Speed, Safety, and the Rise Recreational Electric Marine Propulsion
26 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
The 2025 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout drew over 100,000 spectators and crowned Darana Hybrid's 242 mph turbine catamaran as Top Gun. While electric boats weren't in the top tier, Vision Marine's 180 hp motor remains the fastest electric entry on record. Public concerns about shock risk are unfounded—marine-rated systems use GFCIs, ELCIs, and sealed connectors to ensure safe charging and operation. Electric propulsion is gaining ground, but infrastructure and perception still lag.

Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach
17 Oct 2025 | 
New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.
Toyota FT-Me: Shared Mobility Concept with Big Implications
17 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's FT-Me is a two-seat electric microcar designed for shared urban mobility, not just teens. Developed with UK government support, it features hand-only controls, solar panels, and a lightweight frame. Aimed at car clubs and last-mile use, it could offer affordable, accessible transport with low emissions. With steady utilization and supportive policy, FT-Me may become a viable, sustainable option in the UK's evolving mobility landscape.
Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
Buick Electra E5: China-Built EV Poised for U.S. Launch
16 Oct 2025 | 
Buick's Electra E5, built in China by SAIC-GM, is set to become GM's first imported EV for the U.S. market. Though its launch was delayed indefinitely in 2024, a tentative 2026 rollout remains part of GM's electrification roadmap. With Ultium battery tech, strong performance specs, and positive reception in China, the Electra E5 represents a strategic shift in global EV sourcing and branding.
