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."

Summation of 22-minute China Observer video on the 50% collapse of Chinese cars to Russia and the causes including strategic policy decisions by Moscow in the wake of the growing impact of the war with Ukraine and Beijing's industrial 'colonialization' policies central Asia, as well as general consumer dissatisfaction with the quality of Chinese-made imports and in particular the lack of after-market services, aggravated by language barrier.30 Jun 2025 | Synopsis
"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."

"The boats are catamaran-type vessels, as their design makes them suitable for shallow waters...Each boat will carry up to 32 passengers at a time and will be accessible for people with disabilities and cyclists."The first route will link Zirmunai and Zveryna...The trip is expected to take between 45 and 55 minutes.
"The total value for purchasing and servicing four electric boats is 1.85 million euros."

"...few potential reasons for this, some of which are related to the way the driver interacts with the EVs controls, and others due to how our brains process the signals we're receiving while being transported."Greater sickness in EVs can be attributed to a lack of previous experience, as both a driver and as a passenger, where the brain lacks accuracy in estimating the motion forces because it relies on previous experience in other types of cars."

"Founded in 2019, Ryde's CEO Tobias Balchen notes "In several cities, it can't meet rider demand due to strict fleet caps – "we'd see significantly higher ridership if the regulations allowed more flexibility"Ryde rolled out 30,000 new e-scooters across its Nordic markets this spring. With this expansion, the operator is targeting 50 million trips in 2025 alone...started planning its entrance into new markets beyond the Nordics in 2026."

"...most of the half million school buses on the road are diesel-powered...The toxic exhaust from diesel-burning buses is unsafe for students, drivers, and residents of the communities they drive through and park in."...electric school buses [are] the only type of school bus with no tailpipe emissions. Over a quarter of a million students already ride these clean buses to school each day.
"46 percent of Americans - 156.1 million people - are living in places that get failing grades for unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution. "

We "say food is fuel, which turns out to be a perfect metaphor for understanding how electric vehicle batteries work - they're built like lasagna."In our current battery design, each module holds 24 battery cells, technically called pouch form factor cells - our 24 servings of lasagna...The key to good lasagna is keeping the ricotta and sauce from mixing into a gooey mess...while in a battery cell, a thin polymer separator keeps the cathode and anode materials apart."

"SiriNor's engine represents a breakthrough in non-combustion jet propulsion. Unlike traditional turbines that rely on burning jet fuel, this system uses electricity to power tip-mounted motors around a central fan, effectively driving airflow through the engine."The aircraft likely to adopt these engines first will be in the 9- to 30-seat range - suitable for regional hops of 500 to 900 kilometers."
