Car & Driver's guide will walk you through the necessary considerations when shopping for a pre-owned electric vehicle, and...lay out why, especially in the case of EVs, a used model can be more attractive."...There's one very simple reason why a used electric is a better deal than a new one... used examples cost less. Thank depreciation and other factors...Lower mileage is another potential perk...leases tend to come with low-ish annual mileage limits, meaning you can find lightly used three-year-old EVs with less than 30,000 or even 15,000 miles on them."

"The real task is to make cars go farther with less battery – by saving weight, improving aerodynamics and cutting frontal area, by cooling batteries better and making motors more efficient... By cutting battery weight, Lucid reduces costs - critical as battery prices hover around $100-$150 per kWh - and improves handling and energy consumption."Lucid Air a benchmark, boasting a range of up to 520 miles with a 118kWh battery, far surpassing many competitors."

"The amount of heat accumulating near the surface of the planet is currently more than twice as high as even the best climate change models could have predicted..."During the first decade of this century, for instance, the imbalance was around 0.6 watts per square meter, yet by 2023 this had shot up to 1.8 watts per square meter...The root cause of the discrepancy between models and observations is currently not well known."

Elon Musk calls Tesla's Optimus robot an "infinite money glitch," claiming it could work nonstop, perform surgery, and help end poverty. While Optimus uses Tesla's advanced AI stack and shows real progress in mobility and dexterity, its capabilities remain far from Musk's vision. The robot is promising for industrial tasks, but autonomous surgery and global economic impact are speculative. Optimus is a prototype - not a panacea.

Xpeng's P7+ EREV blends a 49.2 kWh battery, turbo engine, and fast-charging 800V platform to deliver up to 870 miles of range. Marketed as “AI-defined,” it features camera-based Hawk Vision, an X-GPT voice assistant, and XOS 5.4 software. But it's not autonomous, and its AI claims echo existing EV tech. The car is smart, efficient, and well-designed - but the “AI-defined” label leans more on branding than breakthrough.

EVWorld's editor-in-chief drives his 2022 Chevy Bolt 79.7 miles round-trip from Omaha to a mead-making workshop in Nebraska City, tracking energy use. City driving yields 5.0+ m/kWh, but highway speeds drop it to 3.4 m/kWh - still equivalent to 118 mpg. The trip cost just $2.13 in electricity. At the workshop, he learns more about mead-making, gets feedback on his apple-spice melomel, and returns with a fermenting jug. The experience blends EV efficiency with hands-on sustainability.

Eric Moyer, a Democrat running for Nebraska's 1st Congressional District, is campaigning across the rural district in a 2025 all-electric Jeep Wagoneer S. He traded in two gas vehicles to cut costs and emissions, logging 8,000 miles so far. A solar entrepreneur and Medicare for All advocate, Moyer supports agrivoltaics and EV affordability. While the Wagoneer is technically his wife's, he still drives a classic Mustang. His campaign blends clean tech with grassroots outreach.

Perovskite solar cells promise lighter, cheaper, and more efficient panels than silicon, with U.S. startups like Tandem PV, Swift Solar, Caelux, and Revkor building domestic factories. These printable materials could power windows, car roofs, and off-grid EV charging. While durability and certification hurdles remain, tandem designs and pilot deployments signal a shift toward flexible, high-performance solar surfaces and a new era of distributed energy.
