30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...GM confirmed earlier this year will begin production at the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, by the end of 2025...the second-generation Bolt appears to be more of a deep refresh than a truly new vehicle. It sports the same egg-shaped body as the outgoing EUV model.

"Chevy also confirmed the Bolt will gain a NACS charging port, allowing the EV to be plugged into Tesla's massive Supercharger network."

Big Tech Wants Nuclear-Powered AI Now, But Here's What They're Not Telling Us

30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

To power US data centers with the tech would require a large-scale, all-hands-on-deck deployment of (currently non-existent) SMRs in every corner of the grid. That means a flood of funding, the use of legacy reactors in the meantime (hopefully without any accidents), and a lot of luck. In the meantime, the explosive growth in data centers will create distress for local residents, as well as the planet.

A Tiny 29-Pound Electric Motor Just Beat Everyone in Power Density

30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Yasa, a UK-based engineering firm under Mercedes-Benz, has created a breakthrough prototype electric motor weighing just 28.8 lb and generating 737.5 hp - setting a new benchmark for power density at roughly 42 W/kg. While Koenigsegg's Dark Matter motor delivers 800 hp, it is significantly heavier. Yasa's design avoids exotic materials, enabling scalable production of up to 50,000 units annually.

Elysian E9X: Europe's 90-Seat Electric Aircraft Targets 2033 Entry

30 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Dutch startup Elysian Aircraft is developing the E9X, a 90-seat fully electric aircraft with a 500-mile range, targeting entry into service by 2033. Featuring eight wing-mounted propellers and battery integration, the E9X aims to offer zero-emission short-haul flights. Backed by TU Delft, KLM, and Aernnova, the project addresses major engineering hurdles and is entering detailed design. A prototype is expected by 2030, with total development costs projected at $10 billion."

Second‑Life Honda & Nissan EV Packs Power 24 MWh Texas Grid Storage

29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

California‑based B2U Storage Solutions is building a 24 MWh energy storage facility east of San Antonio using ~500 second‑life EV battery packs - sourced from retired Honda and Nissan electric vehicles previously deployed in its California system. Their UL‑certified modular "plug‑and‑play" EPS system skips costly refurbishing and uses AI to manage trading into CPS Energy's grid. Texas is one of four planned sites totaling 100 MWh by mid‑2026.

Lucid Air: 72,000 Miles, $0 Maintenance vs. $4,850 on a Corvette C8

29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

A Lucid Air owner reports driving 72,000 miles with zero maintenance expenses—only new tires at 70K miles due to accidental damage. In contrast, maintaining a 2020 Corvette C8 over the same distance would cost approximately $4,850 for oil changes, transmission service, and tires. The post highlights the time and cost advantages of an EV over a gas-powered muscle car.

Watch A Cybertruck Dangle In Mid-Air Thanks To Tesla Repair Glue

29 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

In a video stunt, a Tesla Cybertruck was suspended by a two-and-a-half-inch patch of Tesla's structural adhesive ("Fusor 2098"), supporting its full 6,600‑lb weight. The story follows earlier reported failures of glued-on body trim and panels - leading to at least one recall - highlighting risks of adhesive use in a stainless‑steel vehicle design. Although structural glue can be strong, its visible applications have sparked safety and quality

Reimagining the Grid for the 21st Century with Virtual Power Plants

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that instead of investing in new utility-scale plants, grid operators should deploy virtual power plants (VPPs) - software-driven networks of rooftop solar, batteries, EVs, and smart devices that act as flexible grid resources. VPPs cost less ($43/kW‑yr) than utility batteries or gas peaker plants, are deployable in months, support grid reliability under heat stress, and offer substantial cost savings and resilience."

How Does Speed Affect EV Range?

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

Car & Driver's real‑world testing confirms that electric vehicle range drops sharply as highway speeds rise. Above ~75 mph, EVs fall well short of EPA numbers, with efficiency losses increasing non‑linearly. Data and driver reports show aerodynamic drag dominates power use at speed, offering substantial range gains by slowing down. In many cases, reducing speed by 5–10 mph can boost range by around 10–20 %.

How Ancient Kings & Their False God Screwed Up Cleantech Adoption & Other Climate Efforts Today

28 Jul 2025 | Synopsis

"...argues that historical use of divine-right monarchy and violent religion enabled climate inaction - where leaders treated natural disasters as "acts of god," discouraging proactive adaptation or clean-energy investment. This mindset persists today in forms like dominionism, which devalues stewardship and justifies resisting clean technology. Breaking from this theology, the author suggests, is essential for accelerating cleantech adoption and climate resilience."
