Renewable-Powered Battery Swaps: Unlocking Ship Electrification At Global Canals
08 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Maersk McKinney Moller Institute...study rightly concluded that battery-powered ships are not only viable but increasingly competitive...Ships traveling thousands of kilometers across oceans could theoretically reduce onboard battery storage if intermediate charging facilities existed."...ships traveling trans-Pacific routes from China to North America might recharge near the Aleutian Islands...
"Practical and economically attractive solutions exist where ships already routinely pause: maritime choke points.'
The EV Revolution Isn't Dead, It's Just Getting Started!
08 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"If we eliminate [Danish] business car purchases and just focus on private new car buyers, the percentage of electric cars jumps to nearly 80 percent"...the central purchasing agency for Italy...has begun the process of adding 600 battery electric buses...the largest supermarket chain in Australia, has agreed to lease 60 battery electric delivery trucks from UK-based Zenobe.
"The EV revolution is happening, with or without the United States.
How Much Range Does Your EV Lose After 5 Years? Here's The Real Data
08 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"From Audi's e-tron to the Nissan Leaf, mainstream electric cars now cluster between 87% and 94% range retention after five years, marking a dramatic leap in battery longevity."Today's mainstream packs fade only 1.8% - about a 9% total drop in five years - thanks to liquid cooling, smarter BMS balancing and tougher cell chemistries...At the summit, Audi's e-tron and the Jaguar I-Pace boast midpoints above 92%..."
Why Are Chinese Cars So Cheap?
08 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...this isn't strictly due to governmental and workforce policies, nor is it due to China effectively plagiarizing Western designs...pound-for-pound, it's likely that China would still be producing more affordable new cars... And the reasons have to do with supply and demand."...China holds such a stranglehold on these crucial resources...These include metals, petroleum-based products, electric circuitry...the Chinese hold significant cost advantages against the United States..."
EVs And The Shape Of Efficiency
06 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"The 2026 Leaf's 0.26 drag coefficient is a significant improvement over the 0.29 of the outgoing Leaf achieve what Nissan claims will be up to 303 miles of range with a 75-kilowatt-hour battery pack. That's a 42% range increase with just a 25% increase in battery capacity."...Shaping the Leaf to be both aerodynamically efficient and aesthetically pleasing was as much about what designers didn't do as what they did..."

California's Q3 ZEV Surge: The EV Endgame?
13 Oct 2025 | 
California broke its ZEV sales record in Q3 2025, hitting 124,755 units and 29.1% market share. The surge was fueled by expiring federal incentives, but sustained by state infrastructure, rebates, and growing model diversity. Tesla's dominance is waning as non-Tesla brands gain ground. With 200,000+ public chargers and a 35% ZEV target by 2026, California's EV market shows lasting momentum and offers a blueprint for national adoption.
The Real Cost of Clinging to Fossil Fuels
13 Oct 2025 | 
The Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial warns of rising costs from clean energy, but critics argue renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Infrastructure upgrades and legacy fuel contracts - not solar or wind - drive higher bills. Fossil fuels carry hidden costs like pollution and health impacts. Clean energy investments are transitional and necessary. The real challenge is managing the shift, not avoiding it. Clinging to fossil fuels is costlier long-term.
Harnessing the Wind: Rotor Sails on Scandinavian Ferries
13 Oct 2025 | 
Scandlines ferries use rotor sails - spinning cylinders that harness the Magnus effect to generate lift and reduce fuel use. Most effective in crosswinds, the rotors spin to face the wind and produce forward thrust. Modern versions use lightweight composites and electric motors powered by hybrid systems. Though ineffective in headwinds, they switch to engine power, avoiding stall. Fuel savings reach up to 20%, aiding Scandlines' goal of emission-free operations by 2040.
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.
