Chris Martenson—economic researcher and creator of The Crash Course—guides viewers through this urgent, underreported threat, rekindling the long denigrated "Peak Oil" debate28 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
BMW has built its 3 millionth electrified vehicle - a 330e plug-in hybrid assembled in Munich. This milestone includes both EVs and plug-in hybrids. In the first half of 2025, over 25% of BMW's global deliveries were electrified. The company also recently produced its 1.5 millionth fully electric vehicle, a Mini Countryman SE. BMW expects electrified sales to keep growing as part of its tech-neutral strategy.28 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Telemetry's 2025 EV Charging Market Report reveals a surprising barrier to electrification: junky garages. One-third of U.S. homeowners can’t park in their own garages, limiting access to Level 2 charging. With 80% of EV charging done at home, cluttered spaces and costly installations threaten adoption. The report urges behavioral shifts and infrastructure investment to close the equity gap.28 Aug 2025 | Synopsis
Chevy Bolt owners can now access Tesla Superchargers using GM's NACS-to-CCS adapter. After purchasing the dongle ($200–$300), download the Tesla app, link a payment method, and locate compatible stations. Charging to 80% costs around $20–$26. The adapter plugs into the Bolt’s front-left port, and etiquette matters—never block multiple stalls. This marks a major step toward EV charging interoperability and convenience.27 Aug 2025 | Synopsis

Community solar offers households a way to "invest" in shared solar projects without owning property or installing panels. Using New Mexico's recent ruling as an example, this article explains how community solar works, why it differs from utility and investor-owned solar, and how subscribers benefit over time through bill credits, subscription fees, and increasing savings after project amortization.

A recent New York Times magazine piece argues that America is retreating from full electrification just as global EV adoption accelerates. U.S. automakers are pivoting back to hybrids, delaying EV programs, and risking long-term irrelevance in a market increasingly dominated by Chinese and European battery, software, and manufacturing leadership. This review distills that warning and outlines how the U.S. can still correct course.

Smart's 2026 #5 Pro+ is a grown-up compact electric SUV with a 100-kWh battery, 438 km real-world range, and record-setting 424-kW charging. Built by Geely and sized like a Jeep Compass, it rivals the Tesla Model Y in performance and interior quality. But U.S. tariffs, data-security rules, and Smart's exit from North America mean Americans won't see it, even as Canada and Europe prepare to adopt it.
