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"
$7,000 Single-Seat Electric Car Revolutionizes Japan's EV Market
30 May 2025 | Synopsis
"KG Motors, a Japanese startup, has developed a small, affordable, one-seater electric car called the mibot. The vehicle aims to tackle Japan's narrow streets and aging population issues. With a range of 100 kilometers, a charging time of five hours, and a top speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the mibot is priced at $7,000."...mibot could kickstart Japan's electric vehicle market, which has lagged behind other countries in terms of EV adoption."
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."

Nuclear Is Reliable. That Doesn't Make It the Future of the Grid.
11 Sep 2026 | 
Nuclear power is undeniably reliable, but that does not make it the obvious winner over wind and solar. The real challenge is building a resilient, affordable grid that combines firm nuclear power with low-cost renewables, batteries, transmission, hydro and demand flexibility. America's energy future need not be an ideological choice between the atom and the sun, but a smarter combination of both.
The Climate Justice Paradox at the Heart of BRICS
10 Sep 2026 | 
BRICS presents its climate agenda as a Global South–led push for equity, energy access, and resilience. Yet its members pursue conflicting energy paths: Russia expands fossil output, India relies on coal, and Brazil faces ongoing deforestation pressure. The bloc is serious about development-first climate justice, but not uniformly committed to rapid decarbonization. Its growing influence will reshape global climate politics.
The Tiny Technology That Could Reinvent Grid Storage
10 Sep 2026 | 
Nanocluster batteries use atomically precise metal clusters in water‑based electrolytes to deliver safer, longer‑lasting, multi‑day grid storage. Developed at PNNL under DOE programs, they promise higher energy density and far better stability than vanadium systems. Early pilots are expected within a few years, with utility‑scale deployments likely in the 2030s as renewables demand long‑duration storage.
Cybercab Week-One Report Card: Austin Launch
08 Sep 2026 | 
Cybercab's first week showed smooth autonomous rides, strong passenger comfort, and reliable camera‑only navigation. But NHTSA launched a federal audit over missing manual controls, first responders raised safety concerns, and limited service zones plus software quirks revealed early operational constraints. Mixed public reception and regulatory pressure now shape Tesla's next steps.
Rebutting Broughel :The Fine Print on the "Biggest Oil Deal in History"
05 Sep 2026 | 
A hundred-year concession over 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil hands sweeping control to a private American firm, raising constitutional, ethical, and geopolitical questions. Framed as the "biggest oil deal in history," it shifts sovereignty and long-term authority away from Venezuelan citizens toward a narrow circle of well-connected interests.
