UK-based "Ariel says the E-Nomad can match the more than respectable acceleration of its gas-powered car, which means 0–60 mph (98 km/h) in 3.4 seconds despite wearing nobbly all-terrain tires....the battery pack weighs less than 660 lbs (300 kg) and can send up to 281 hp (210 kW) to the drive unit at the rear...so range is just a quoted 150 miles (240 km)."Since a goal for the E-Nomad project was to explore more sustainable methods of low-volume car manufacturing..."

"...car companies have struggled to meet the demand for adapters - and software snags are preventing other cars from accessing Tesla's charging network...""So far, only two automakers have completed that step to even access Superchargers: Ford and Rivian
"Ford and Rivian are the only EV makers with the right software, but most of those drivers still don't have Supercharger access because the automakers haven't received enough adapters."

"Sales of hydrogen-powered cars are sluggish all over the world, mainly due to an impoverished product selection and scant charging infrastructure. Only 5,621 hydrogen-powered vehicles were sold worldwide in the first half of 2024, according to SNE Research, a drop of over 34% compared to the same period last year.The most spectacular drop was in the USA, with just 322 sales in 6 months, compared with 1,825 a year earlier."

"In the early 1900s, electric cars were quite popular, accounting for around a third of all vehicles on US roads, and many manufacturers at that time thought electric vehicles were superior technology....This early pioneer in green energy is powered by a DC electric motor delivering five forward speeds to the rear wheels via a shaft drive and worm-drive axle."This rare and seldom-seen example is a valuable piece of automotive history hat paved the way for the electric revolution we're witnessing today. It will go under the hammer with Worldwide Auctioneers in late August."

Nations are not forcing people to stop driving. Policies like low‑emission zones, congestion pricing, and future EV mandates are targeted tools to reduce pollution and manage traffic, not bans on driving. EVWorld rebuts libertarian claims that frame mobility planning as coercion and explains the real goals behind modern transportation policy.

Community solar offers households a way to "invest" in shared solar projects without owning property or installing panels.

A recent New York Times magazine piece argues that America is retreating from full electrification just as global EV adoption accelerates. U.S. automakers are pivoting back to hybrids, delaying EV programs, and risking long-term irrelevance in a market increasingly dominated by Chinese and European battery, software, and manufacturing leadership. This review distills that warning and outlines how the U.S. can still correct course.

Smart's 2026 #5 Pro+ is a grown-up compact electric SUV with a 100-kWh battery, 438 km real-world range, and record-setting 424-kW charging. Built by Geely and sized like a Jeep Compass, it rivals the Tesla Model Y in performance and interior quality. But U.S. tariffs, data-security rules, and Smart's exit from North America mean Americans won't see it, even as Canada and Europe prepare to adopt it.
