Driver of 2025 Toyota bZ4X Reports Paying About 1 Cent Per Mile For The Electricity: Is That Fair?
01 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"...charges his bZ4X at home using Level 2 charging during off-peak hours...special EV utility rate plan that dramatically cuts the cost of electricity overnight...The contrast is clear. Some regions are seeing shockingly low charging costs, while others are stuck dealing with peak-hour pricing that eats into EV savings...If charging costs can be as low as 1 cent per mile for some and 25 cents per mile for others, are we creating a system where affordability is based purely on zip code or access to home infrastructure?Alpine's New All-Electric A110 Sports Car Will Be Even Lighter Than the Gas-Powered Edition
30 May 2025 | Synopsis
"The claimed lightness is the headline, though, for the simple reason that it’s difficult to make EVs light, given the weight of the massive batteries powering them...Horsepower numbers get eyeballs, but power-to-weight ratio is the real metric that engineers keep an eye on, along with weight distribution...the plan...is for Alpine to become a French version of Porsche..."The next A110 will be lighter than a comparable car with a combustion engine but with no compromise in performance."
China Auto Market Price War Stokes Fears Of Industry Shake-Out
30 May 2025 | Synopsis
"BYD price cuts, along with other developments, signal a potential tipping point, where weaker players can no longer sustain deepening losses from the downward spiral on prices..."China's auto sector [is] in an unhealthy state, with pricing pressure hammering the bottom lines of car companies and suppliers. [Great Wall Motors chairman Wei Jianjun]... drew a parallel to Evergrande, the Chinese property developer that was liquidated last year"

I Drive a Lucid Air GT and Rivian R1S.. But Only One of Them Makes Sense for My 780-Mile Phoenix-to-Sausalito Trips
30 May 2025 | Synopsis
" I loosely follow the speed limit, between 70-80mph on I-10 and I-5...The Lucid can make it with 2 charging stops. But you need to plan carefully. I arrived in Sausalito (from Phoenix) with 2 charging stops.."Phoenix to Sausalito trip in the R1S requires 3 (or even 4) charging stops...the Lucid is faster, saves a charge stop, and eats highway miles with grace..
"And Tesla? It's still the standard, mostly because everything around it, charging, software, the overall experience, just works."

Beyond Panels: How the West Is Competing in the "Anything-but-Solar" Future
05 Mar 2026 | 
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 Opens the Door to China-Built EVs as U.S. Stays Shut
04 Mar 2026 | 
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.
Skyrider1: The Electric Ultralight That Wants to Fly Before Its Start-Up Can Walk
03 Mar 2026 | 
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.
