Electrification 101: How RMI's New Tool Can Help Utilities Proactively Plan for EVs
23 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"By 2030, we expect to see fully electrified fleets and, by 2035, EV’s comprising 100 percent of vehicles sales in some states...Understandably, we have not built today’s US electric grid to rapidly replace the fossil fuel-based vehicle fueling infrastructure.RMI's "GridUp tool will forecast energy and power demand from electric vehicles, enabling utilities and regulators to proactively prepare the grid for the growth in EVs."
EV Swaps For High-Mileage Drivers Is A National Priority - Here's Why
23 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"...a recent study sheds light on a unique segment of the U.S. population known as 'superusers"...Despite being a small fraction of drivers, they consume a staggering 35% of all gasoline, surpassing the total gasoline consumption of China."The study urges a shift in focus from affluent, early adopters of EVs to address the unique needs of these high-mileage drivers facing economic barriers and relying on older, gasoline-powered vehicles."
China EV Overcapacity Fix Would Be A Crowd Pleaser
23 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
China's "vice minister of industry and information technology ...pledged to reduce EV makers' overcapacity, saying... government will take "forceful measures to prevent superfluous projects.""Excess capacity could be between 5 and 10 million vehicles per year, estimates...The challenge will be how to stem overcapacity without hurting the sector - seen as a technological and manufacturing bright spot for the otherwise grim Chinese economy."
Fast-Charging Lithium Battery Seeks To Eliminate 'Range Anxiety'
23 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"A team in Cornell Engineering has created a new lithium battery that can charge in under five minutes - faster than any such battery on the market - while maintaining stable performance over extended cycles of charging and discharging."Identifying battery electrode materials with inherently fast solid-state transport rates, and hence low Damkohler numbers, helped the researchers pinpoint indium as an exceptionally promising material for fast-charging batteries."
Big Oil, Automakers Pour Cold Water On Trump Pitch To Gut President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act
23 Jan 2024 | Synopsis
"The fossil fuel sector and automakers oppose getting rid of tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that buoy their bottom lines, creating possible headwinds for Mr. Trump's aspirations..."The fossil fuel sector and automakers oppose getting rid of tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that buoy their bottom lines, creating possible headwinds for Mr. Trump's aspirations..."

EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
Horse Powertrain: The Hybrid Trojan Horse
17 Oct 2025 | 
Horse Powertrain, a joint venture by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, offers compact hybrid engines like the C1 to retrofit EV platforms. Designed as range extenders, these engines run on multiple fuels and meet Euro 7 standards. Though marketed as green tech, their real-world impact is debated - especially as studies show PHEVs are rarely charged. Horse may be a transitional solution, but 500-mile EVs are poised to dominate long-term.
Sticker Shock and Stagnant Pay: Why New Cars Are Slipping Out of Reach
17 Oct 2025 | 
New car prices have outpaced wage growth, making ownership increasingly unaffordable. Even Ford's $30K EV pickup and other sub-$30K models may remain out of reach for many without incentives or financing reform. With monthly payments rising and federal credits phasing out, the affordability gap is reshaping the auto market. Shared mobility and micro-EVs may offer alternatives, but structural change is needed to restore access.
Toyota FT-Me: Shared Mobility Concept with Big Implications
17 Oct 2025 | 
Toyota's FT-Me is a two-seat electric microcar designed for shared urban mobility, not just teens. Developed with UK government support, it features hand-only controls, solar panels, and a lightweight frame. Aimed at car clubs and last-mile use, it could offer affordable, accessible transport with low emissions. With steady utilization and supportive policy, FT-Me may become a viable, sustainable option in the UK's evolving mobility landscape.
Creative Destruction vs. Fossil Retrenchment: Why Project 2025 Risks Leaving America Behind
16 Oct 2025 | 
Project 2025 protects fossil fuel incumbents by dismantling Biden-era clean energy policies. Nobel economist Philippe Aghion argues that climate progress depends on creative destruction - letting green innovators outcompete legacy polluters. The U.S. risks falling behind as global markets embrace clean tech. Even its passport has slipped from the top 10. Innovation, not retrenchment, is the path forward
