As a joint venture of BMW, Ford, Honda and Nissan, ChargeScape is on a mission to transform EVs from a grid liability into an asset."ChargeScape, through its direct partnerships with automakers, was the first to bring residential EVs into this historically commercial-focused program - demonstrating the value of EV telematics in enabling targeted, automated load curtailment."

"According to Geotab's findings, the average EV battery can last up to 20 years, with minimal annual degradation...That's six years longer than the average lifespan of a gas-powered vehicle in the United States, which currently stands at around 14 years."The data, drawn from over 10,000 electric vehicles, shows that batteries lose only about 1.8 percent of their original capacity per year...This means an EV would retain roughly 64 percent of its range even after two decades of use."

"The Mibot stands under 1.5 meters tall with a design that balances between being adorable and pragmatic."The specs are straightforward: a 100km range, 60km/h top speed, and a 5-hour charging time using standard outlets. Some would call it abysmal by EV standards, but these features are perfectly suited for urban reality...
"Production begins this October at KG's new Hiroshima factory, with plans to deliver 300 vehicles to Hiroshima and Tokyo customers by March 2026, followed by 3,000 more nationwide."

Fully electric vehicles comprised 10 per cent of the value of cars imported into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2024, according to trade data. Throw in hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and more than a quarter of the market is switching to batteries "If nations that owe their very existence to the transformative power of crude are switching to lithium-ion, then the prospects for their key export are looking distinctly shaky."

"Between 2007 and 2016, oil production in the United States increased 75 percent, while natural gas production increased 39 percent...Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique to extract fossil fuels - primarily methane"...a single well can use between 1.5 and 16 million gallons of water...One of the largest environmental impacts of fracking is the amount of methane it releases...the amount of smog produced by oil and gas drilling now exceeds the amount of smog from vehicles."

The EMEA Automotive Carbon Neutral Summit 2025 will confront the gap between ambition and execution. Automakers must scale low‑carbon technologies, decarbonize sprawling supply chains, and secure renewable energy for factories and charging networks. Executives will push for clear policy, carbon pricing, and stable investment signals. Circular economy practices and global competition add urgency. The challenge: make carbon neutrality practical, profitable, and fast enough to meet climate goals.

Scientists are developing ways to turn America's massive food waste stream into sustainable aviation fuel. Using processes like hydrothermal liquefaction, discarded scraps can be converted into biocrude and refined into jet-ready fuel. At full scale, it could replace only a fraction of U.S. daily jet fuel demand, but it would cut landfill methane and diversify supply. Major hurdles remain: costly collection, dispersed feedstock, certification, and economics compared to fossil fuel.

Wyoming's coal is being promoted as vital for powering the AI boom, but the market reality tells another story. Utilities continue retiring coal plants as cheaper wind, solar, and natural gas dominate. Lease auctions draw little interest, and even China is pairing coal with massive renewable growth. Analysts warn AI demand may be overstated, leaving coal an expensive detour. The conclusion: coal is unlikely to fuel America's AI future.

America's waves hold vast untapped energy - enough to power over half the nation's electricity needs. Yet wave power lags behind solar and wind. Devices must survive corrosive seas and violent storms, while no single design has emerged as dominant. Developers also face years of regulatory hurdles and high costs that deter investors. New test sites like Oregon's PacWave aim to prove the technology, offering hope that wave energy can finally move from promise to reality.

Three boxy EVs - BYD Racco, Nissan Sakura, and Honda Super-One - dominated the 2025 Tokyo Auto Show, each embracing Japan's kei car tradition with electric innovation. BYD eyes global markets, while Sakura and Super-One remain Japan-focused. U.S. entry would require upgrades in safety, speed, and tech. Their compact charm and urban utility signal a strategic shift in EV design - away from sleek sameness and toward character-driven mobility.
