"The so-called 'super e-platform' will be capable of peak charging speeds of 1,000 kilowatts (kW), enabling cars that use it to travel 400 km (249 miles) on a 5-minute charge...Charging speeds of 1,000 kW would be twice as fast as Tesla's superchargers whose latest version offers up to 500 kw charging speeds."The new charging architecture will be initially available in two new EVs - Han L sedan and Tang L SUV priced from 270,000 yuan ($37,328.91)."

Youtuber Mark Rober LIDAR maps Disneyland's Space Mountain ride and uses the same technology to test Tesla's camera-based FSD against Lexus' LIDAR-based driving system in the ultimate Wile E. Coyote challenge. Will Musk's car tell the difference between a real road and a projection of the road and the "child" hidden behind it, and will he capture and build a 3D model of the secretive Disney ride?16 Mar 2025 | Synopsis
"...the company's profits fell 70% in 2024, and its outspoken CEO Carlos Tavares quit at the end of the year...Leapmotor joins the other 14 members of the Stellantis group (although only eight are active in Europe)"Leapmotor potentially plugs a gap like nothing else in its portfolio. When the current battery-electric (BEV) transition started around 2020, Stellantis appeared to have mostly one drivetrain on offer..they were platforms shared with internal combustion engine (ICE) versions..."

"...Swedish battery company owned in part by Volkswagen and Goldman Sachs has filed for bankruptcy in its own country...deathblow for the battery maker, established in 2016, following its American interest in filing for bankruptcy in November last year.""The big hope was that Nothvolt could go up against Chinese bands like CATL and BYD...Plans to build EV batteries in Europe have been bogged down by bureaucratic hurdles, production problems and slower EV demand than expected."

"Geothermal energy is once again capturing attention, hailed by some as the stable, reliable renewable resource that can balance the intermittency of wind and solar power...enthusiasm often overlooks historical realities, especially when measured against criteria I consistently use to assess energy solutions"Recent advances in battery storage, demand response technologies, and grid flexibility are increasingly undermining geothermal's claim of unique baseload capability."

The U.S. has sold Venezuelan state-owned oil and placed the proceeds in U.S.-controlled accounts, including one in Qatar. Officials call the move legal and humanitarian, but the arrangement lacks transparency, bypasses Venezuelan citizens, and concentrates control in the executive branch. This unprecedented action raises serious questions about sovereignty, oversight, and democratic accountability.

Saudi Arabia is advancing two EV efforts through its Public Investment Fund: Lucid, the luxury EV maker in which PIF holds a majority stake, and Ceer, a new Saudi brand developing its first electric model with technology from BMW and support from Foxconn. Public reports show no direct link between the two companies beyond shared investment. Both are part of the kingdom's broader Vision 2030 industrial strategy.

Solid-state batteries are finally moving from lab to road, led by Verge's TS Pro motorcycle using a Donut solid-state pack and early semi-solid EVs in China. These technologies promise higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety compared to today’s lithium-ion cells, but at much higher cost. As production scales and prices fall toward parity in the early 2030s, solid-state chemistry is poised to reshape EV range, economics, and mainstream acceptance.

The global energy transition is no longer driven by climate diplomacy but by industrial rivalry and market forces. Despite geopolitical fragmentation, clean energy deployment - from solar and wind to batteries and EVs - is accelerating. Competition among the US, EU, and China, not consensus, is driving progress, even as grids, permitting, and fossil fuel dependence remain stubborn obstacles through 2030.

Clean-energy stocks and green bonds are attracting global capital not out of ideology, but because they offer better growth, lower risk, and strong policy support. Fossil fuels face structural decline as demand flattens and cost curves diverge. Investors are reallocating toward electrification, renewables, and grid infrastructure, making clean energy the new baseline for long-term returns. Markets are pricing the transition, not debating it.
