WeRide Enters Belgium as Autonomous Robobus Rolls Into Leuven
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
WeRide launched its autonomous Robobus in Leuven, Belgium, marking its 11th global market. In partnership with De Lijn and Espaces-Mobilités, the pilot will run through January 2026, aiming to improve first- and last-mile transit. Mapping begins now, with public testing mid-September. The project reflects Belgium’s push for smart mobility and AV integration.What's Keeping The Indian Middle Class From Driving An Electric Car?
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
India’s middle class is hesitant to adopt EVs due to high import prices, limited public charging, and range anxiety. Tesla’s Model Y costs ₹6M ($68K), far above mainstream affordability. Local production is key—Vietnam’s VinFast and India’s Tata Motors offer EVs closer to ₹1–2.3M. With EVs at just 5.3% market share, scaling infrastructure and lowering costs are critical for broader adoption.Small Modular Reactors and the Big Questions of Cost & Waste
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A new study by Kim and Macfarlane finds small modular reactors (SMRs) face steep cost overruns and complex waste challenges. Promised savings rely on mass production that hasn't materialized, while some SMR designs may generate 2–30× more waste per unit of energy. With few commercial deployments and high uncertainty, SMRs remain a high-risk option compared to proven clean technologies.Why EV World Supports the New Heatwave Attribution Study
11 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
A peer-reviewed Nature study links 213 heatwaves since 2000 to human-caused climate change, showing emissions from 180 major fossil fuel and cement producers made 53 of them "virtually impossible" without global warming. The study uses EM-DAT data and attribution science to quantify how specific corporate emissions increased deadly heatwave risks, offering a scientific basis for accountability in climate-related harm.The UK, Netherlands, & California Have More EV Charging Ports Than Gas Pump Nozzles?
10 Sep 2025 | Synopsis
The UK, Netherlands, and California now have more public EV charging ports than gas pump nozzles, marking a symbolic shift in transportation infrastructure. This milestone reflects rapid growth in electrification, policy support, and consumer adoption. It signals that EVs are not just viable - they're becoming dominant in key regions leading the clean mobility transition.

Singapore Awards Groundbreaking Contract for Level 4 Autonomous Bus Trial
12 Oct 2025 | 
Singapore's LTA has awarded a contract to MKX Technologies, MOGOX, and BYD to launch Level 4 autonomous electric buses by 2026. Six 16-seater buses will operate on Services 191 and 400, with MOGOX providing self-driving tech, BYD supplying the buses, and MKX managing the project. Safety operators will be onboard initially. The trial supports Singapore’s smart mobility goals and could expand to 100–150 buses if successful.
Sun vs. Sagebrush: Nevada's Solar Boom Meets Its Wild Heart
12 Oct 2025 | 
Nevada's Esmeralda 7 solar project was canceled amid ecological concerns and political pushback. Conservationists opposed its scale and impact on desert wildlife and cultural sites. The Trump administration halted its review, citing regulatory burdens. Though 12 million acres are solar-designated, only 20,000 are developed. Advocates urge smarter siting, wildlife corridors, and use of degraded lands to balance clean energy goals with wilderness protection.
EV Alarmism: Common EV Issues Article Analysis
12 Oct 2025 | 
The GoBankingRates article highlights real EV concerns - battery costs, charging issues, part shortages, and recalls - but overstates their frequency and impact. Most problems are rare, covered under warranty, or brand-specific. Charging and battery failures are uncommon, and recalls affect gas cars too. The article lacks comparative data and context, making its claims seem more alarming than typical EV ownership realities.
Rivian's Infotainment Revolution: AI at the Wheel, No Smartphone Required
11 Oct 2025 | 
Rivian's infotainment system replaces CarPlay with a native AI-powered interface backed by Amazon and Volkswagen. It offers smart navigation, voice control, music/video streaming, and cloud-based personalization. AM radio is excluded, prompting bipartisan legislation to mandate its return. Autonomous driving integration is planned, with updates rolling out in 2025 and full features expected in the R2 by 2026.
