"You may have seen dire headlines that EV sales have dried up. They haven't. Electric vehicles sold reasonably well in 2023...""There is just one little problem: Last year, U.S. sales of EVs were the highest ever, both in sheer numbers and as a percentage of the overall new-car market...The EV Sales Tracker from EVadoption estimates nearly 1.2 million battery-electric vehicles...
"Bloomberg projects 2024 EV sales in the U.S. at just under 1.9 million units, making up 13 percent of new-car purchases."

A recent nanoscale physics breakthrough reveals heat can transfer across tiny gaps far more efficiently than expected - up to 100 times greater than classical predictions. This could revolutionize cooling and energy systems in electronics, EVs, and smart appliances. While engineering challenges remain, early applications may emerge within 3-5 years, with broader consumer adoption possible in the next decade. The future of heat management may be silent, solid-state, and radically efficient.

America's energy crunch is not about supply - it's about coordination. Virtual power plants and vehicle-to-grid systems offer a scalable, software-driven solution to rising demand from AI, EVs, and climate volatility. By turning homes, vehicles, and businesses into active grid assets, and aligning policy with technology, the U.S. can build a smarter, more resilient energy future without building more power plants. The tools exist - now it's time to connect them.

The 2025 Urban Science and Harris Poll report reveals a growing disconnect between dealers and buyers. While dealers embrace EVs, AI, and digital tools, many buyers remain cautious - especially about full electrification and online-only retail. Brand loyalty is weakening, and policy clarity is key to adoption. The future of auto retail depends on bridging trust, flexibility, and infrastructure gaps.

Despite critiques that the quest for global electrification is "simplistic", the transition is strategic and necessary. Grid upgrades, battery innovation, and tailored policies make electrification viable. Sodium-ion batteries and recycling reduce material risk. Compared to fossil fuels, electrification offers cleaner, safer, and more resilient systems. Complexity demands better design - not delay.
