EU Council Lets Oil Expansion Qualify For Sustainable Funds
04 Jul 2026 | Synopsis
The EU Council revised its Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), removing a ban on fossil fuel expansion in transition funds. Companies expanding oil and gas projects can now qualify for "sustainable" labels if at least 20% of their spending goes toward green initiatives. Critics warn the proposal ignores massive Scope 3 emissions, enables greenwashing, and threatens to erode trust in European green funds.UK Researchers Overturn Decades-Old Understanding Of Lithium-Ion Battery Chemistry
03 Jul 2026 | Synopsis
Researchers at the Universities of Warwick and Dundee have overturned a long-held view of how lithium-ion battery cathodes store and release charge. Their findings reveal a different electrochemical mechanism, offering a path to more accurate battery models, improved cathode materials, faster charging, longer life, and higher-performance lithium-ion batteriesHydrogen Demand Shrinks When It Is Counted Properly
01 Jul 2026 | Synopsis
The article argues hydrogen demand shrinks once emissions are counted accurately. Using updated GREET modeling, many proposed uses - cars, heating, power - lose viability due to high upstream emissions. Only a few sectors like steel and chemicals retain meaningful demand. Proper accounting shows hydrogen is far less scalable as a climate solution than industry claims.'Never The Same': How War On Iran Changed The Global Energy Sector
01 Jul 2026 | Synopsis
The war on Iran reshaped global energy by exposing the fragility of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, driving lasting price volatility, damaging key gas‑to‑liquids facilities, and forcing nations to diversify routes and supplies. The shock accelerated investment in renewables, alternative fuels, and new infrastructure as governments sought to reduce dependence on vulnerable chokepoints.New CPSC Rules Seek to Reduce Battery Fire Risks for Electric Bikes and Scooters
30 Jun 2026 | Synopsis
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) proposed a sweeping rule making UL battery safety standards mandatory for e-bikes. To reduce fire risks, it goes beyond voluntary rules to require tamper-resistant enclosures, over-heat charging protections, and reverse-polarity testing. Crucially, it applies to complete bikes, replacement batteries, chargers, commercial fleets, and DIY conversion kits, heavily impacting low-cost imports.
EVWorld Exclusive
No, Nations Are Not Forcing People to Stop Driving
17 Jul 2026 | 
Nations are not forcing people to stop driving. Policies like low‑emission zones, congestion pricing, and future EV mandates are targeted tools to reduce pollution and manage traffic, not bans on driving. EVWorld rebuts libertarian claims that frame mobility planning as coercion and explains the real goals behind modern transportation policy.
Beyond the Paywall: Billions Spent, But Where Is America's Electricity Boom?
17 Jul 2026 | 
A Washington Post investigation finds billions spent on energy projects, stalled timelines, and payments to halt wind development. This EVWorld Beyond the Paywall analysis explains why promised electricity growth has not materialized, how wind project buyouts became controversial, and what this means for America's energy future.
Community Solar: A Scalable Alternative to Utility and Investor-Owned Solar
17 Jul 2026 | 
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.
USA's EV Slowdown - And How To Fix It
15 Jul 2026 | 
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.
2026 Smart #5 Pro+: The Trump's America Won't Get - But Probably Should
15 Jul 2026 | 
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.
