Electric Cars In Canadian Winter: A Hot Topic!
17 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"...unlike the minus 40 [C] mornings when a combustion engine won't start without a block heater, you won't have that issue with an EV....There is a debate about how much range an electric vehicle loses in cold temperatures...The safest (and most reasonable) number to go with is the same range loss a combustion vehicle experiences in the winter: 25 per cent."Sub-£17,500 Volkswagen ID.1 To Debut By 2027
17 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"The battery-powered city car, which could carry the name ID.1, is slated to be priced below €20,000 or £17,500, slotting under VW's upcoming ID.2 hatchback...the German carmaker is not a stranger to making small electric cars. The discontinued e-Up! was its first foray into the segment"When it debuts, probably sometime in 2026, the so-called ID.1 will go up against the next-generation Renault Twingo, which also will cost about €20,000."
IEA Chief Welcomes 'Unstoppable' Growth Of Clean Energy
17 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
When asked by CNBC commentators at 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos about outcome of just concluded COP 28, IEA head Fatih Birol saw two positive developments: more than 200 countries signed on to pledge to move away from fossil fuels and he sees the growth of clean energy all around the world as "strong" and "unstoppable", including deployment of electric vehicles and heat pumps. He pledged that the IEA will track those nations' performance..."Renault Unveils Shapeshifting Morphoz Concept Car
17 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"...the electric car has an extendable body that can be switched between a shorter, city-car form and a longer version for travel...In addition to a fully electric powertrain with a battery-sharing system, the car has level three driving autonomy and a smart system powered by artificial intelligence..."The city version of the car is 4.40 metres long with a wheelbase length of 2.73 metres. It is powered by a 40 kilowatt hour (kWh) battery kilowatt hour (kWh) battery that has a range of up to 249 miles to suit day-to-day journeys to work or the shops."
What EV Sales Slump? Commercial EV Deployments Are Soaring!
17 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"...the numbers paint a narrative of swift expansion in the commercial EV and ZEV (Zero-Emission Vehicle) markets. CALSTART's latest figures reveal a remarkable 250% growth in the zero-emission heavy truck market."While electric semis like the ones from Tesla and Freightliner tend to grab the headlines, it's the commercial van segment that's seeing the most rapid rates of EV adoption...significant surge of 11,835 units deployed in the first half of 2023. That is a staggering 461% increase in deployments..."

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.
