"A recent report by...Synapse Energy Economics examined how much electric car owners paid for electricity and compared that with the cost for utilities to build, generate, and distribute that electricity. What it found was that, in aggregate, EV drivers provided more than $3 billion in net revenue to the grid between 2011 and 2021."The net effect is that the cost of electricity will go down for everyone..."

"...about a third of Americans live in large multifamily developments, often in cities that stand to benefit the most from a switch to electrification. And electrifying the parking lots of existing developments is often easier said than done."...there's another benefit to picking a DC fast charger in place of a bank of AC plugs - it takes up less room. "We didn't use anything from our inventory of parking, which is the biggest problem for condos - lack of parking."

"Teslas are depreciating so bad. They might become the new Nissan Altima. If you guys haven't been noticing lately, you can get Tesla Model 3 with only 24,000 miles for around $27,000-$26,000...""...the government should take Tesla with all these cheaper prices, give huge tax breaks to individuals who live in lower income housing, give them two years of free charging, whether it's through Electrify America or it's through like Tesla..."

"New Mexico Oil and Gas Association [cites]…three things that can influence your opinion on electric vehicles… first is that a lot of oil and gas components are used in construction of an EV. Second…they displace internal combustion engines (ICEs), and they displace oil that is the source of gasoline and diesel. Third, tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from EVs are zero…"17 Apr 2024 | Synopsis
"...joining the United Auto Workers would threaten jobs and 'the values we live by.'"An economist who has closely studied unionization in the South called the statement 'unprecedented and shocking' and said it discouraged workers from exercising their legal right to organize...VW workers told The Washington Post this month that they wished politicians would stay out of the matter and leave it up to employees."

VinFast is entering the ultra‑luxury EV market with its new Lac Hong brand, launching the 800S SUV and 900S sedan. Both use a 460 kW tri‑motor system and target buyers of Rolls‑Royce, Maybach, and Lucid. The shift reflects VinFast's move away from mass‑market struggles toward higher‑margin luxury segments, blending Vietnamese design identity with global EV performance benchmarks.

Western governments are shifting from competing with China on cheap solar panels to investing in higher‑value parts of the solar ecosystem such as inverters, trackers, storage, and grid software. Europe and the UK lead with policies that reward grid flexibility and system intelligence, while the US risks falling behind unless it pivots from panel manufacturing toward transmission, advanced inverters, and energy‑software innovation.

Canada's new quota allows 49,000 China‑built EVs into the country at normal tariffs, creating a split North American market as the U.S. keeps strict barriers. Tesla, Polestar, and Volvo benefit first because their China‑built models are already certified. SAIC's MG4 is the most likely early entrant. The shift boosts competition and lowers prices in Canada while indirectly pressuring U.S. automakers.

A San Diego startup is promoting the Skyrider1 ultralight eVTOL via syndicated press releases, but key details about the company, its leadership, and the aircraft's performance remain unverified. The project appears linked to Morty Berger's small firm My Flying Car, with no FAA certification or technical documentation. The Skyrider1 should be treated as marketing, not confirmed aviation progress.

As of Spring 2026, about two dozen U.S. states plus DC allow EV makers like Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid to sell directly to consumers, while several states - including Alabama, Kansas, Nebraska, and Ohio - still prohibit most direct sales, often granting Tesla limited exemptions. Buyers in restricted states may need out-of-state pickup or dealer intermediaries. Many states are actively updating laws to include all EV manufacturers.
