BMW Officially Recognizes "Peak Combustion Engine" As EV Tipping Point 'Was Last Year'
15 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"BMW AG says demand for its luxury cars powered by gasoline reached its highest point last year and expects all-electric models to lead future growth...BMW group EV sales jumped 75% last year, driven by models like the i4 sedan...Future volume growth will primarily come from battery electric vehicles"By the end of the decade, BMW's EVs will have higher returns than its combustion-engine cars."
No, E-Bike Fires Are Not A 'Leading Cause of Death' In NYC
15 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"...a headline from Men's Journal [states] "E-bike Batteries: A Leading Cause Of Death In NYC"...The only problem is it's wrong. As in, completely wrong. The premise is not even close to aligning with reality...Every one of those 17 deaths last year is a tragedy"Compared to [e-bike] battery fire deaths, New Yorkers are 176x more likely to die from a drug overdose, 23x more likely to be murdered, 5x more likely to die while riding the subway"
EV Predictions Aren't Great, But Those For Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Vehicles Are A Disaster
15 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"BloombergNEF's 'Electric Vehicle Outlook 2023' estimation...320 million electric vehicles were sold last year...90% of them were 2- and 3-wheelers...oil producers expect that, by around mid-century, there will be only 700-750 million zero-emission vehicles globally...""FCEVs' share in total zero-emission vehicle sales will be less than 5%. That is to say, it's useless to talk about a hydrogen economy until mid-century..."
How Many Chinese Cars Are Sold In Europe?
15 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"For the period January-September 2023, [the report 'The Chinese car in Italy: knowing to decide'] speaks of around 462,600 registrations (equivalent to 4.8% of the market). In 2022 as a whole, the figures were 455,400 (4% market share)."On an economic level, the value of imports and exports between China and Europe will reach €9.37 billion in 2022 (+432% compared to 2020) and almost €16 billion in 2023."
Electric Cars 'The Best Vehicle' In Frigid Temperatures, Say EV Advocates In Saskatoon
15 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"...many drivers question how they will fare on cold Prairie days...Tesla Model 3 can generally travel 500 kilometres on a single charge in the summer, but on cold winter days that decreases to around 300 kilometres...Matthew Pointer, who also drives a Tesla Model 3 [in Saskatoon where temperature is -20F] , said he finds his electric vehicle to be a much better driving experience in the winter than a gas car."

Unlocking Heat's Hidden Potential: How a Nanoscale Discovery Could Transform Everyday Tech
24 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Turning the Energy Crunch into a Smart Grid Revolution
24 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Auto Retail in 2025: Bridging the Trust Gap Between Dealers and Buyers
24 Oct 2025 | 
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.
Electric Icons in the Making: Audi Concept C vs. Chevrolet Corvette EV
23 Oct 2025 | 
Audi's Concept C previews a refined electric GT built on the mature PPE platform, likely arriving by 2026. Chevrolet's Corvette EV promises supercar performance but faces packaging and thermal challenges. Audi is closer to production; Corvette remains in early development. Both reflect divergent strategies in electrifying legacy sports cars, with Audi emphasizing platform maturity and Chevrolet pursuing brand continuity through engineering innovation.
Electrification Is Not an Oversimplification
23 Oct 2025 | 
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.
