Honda revives the Insight name as a fully electric crossover after a four‑year hiatus. Once a pioneering two-seat hybrid launched in 2000, the new Insight EV delivers over 300 miles of range and adopts a sleek SUV design based on Honda’s e:NS2 platform. Initially launching in Japan, it reflects Honda's broader shift toward electrification and a return of a historic nameplate in an all‑electric form.06 Mar 2026 | Synopsis
A new Science paper argues that solving climate change doesn’t require one grand fix but a mix of many smaller, manageable "wedges." Each wedge represents a specific emissions‑cutting strategy - renewables, efficiency, land use, industry changes - that together can deliver trillions of dollars in reductions. The approach reframes climate action as a portfolio of scalable solutions rather than a single overwhelming challenge.05 Mar 2026 | Synopsis
Gas prices are rising after the U.S. attack on Iran, and higher fuel costs could push more buyers toward EVs. Past spikes in the 1970s, 2008, and 2022 boosted demand for efficient cars, including EVs. Post‑2020 data is less clear due to supply issues and shifting incentives, but EVs now have lower lifetime costs, and used EVs - over half under $30k - are especially attractive. High gas prices may accelerate this trend.05 Mar 2026 | Synopsis
Aptera says it will begin production of its three‑wheel solar EV by year‑end, targeting up to 100 units a day. The company showed its first validation‑line vehicle and continues to rely heavily on crowdfunding, having raised over $100 million and securing early build slots through its Accelerator Program. Deliveries are promised for late 2026, though past delays leave timelines uncertain.04 Mar 2026 | Synopsis
Chery sub-brand iCar will launch the V27, its largest SUV and first extended‑range hybrid, on March 13. The rugged, boxy five‑seat model features a 1.5T range‑extender, 210 km EV range and up to 1,200 km combined range. Top trims add Horizon Robotic' 560‑TOPS smart‑driving system with 27 sensors including LiDAR. Pre‑orders opened earlier, with first mass‑production units completed in January.

Comma 4 is an aftermarket Level 2 driver‑assistance system from comma.ai that adds advanced lane‑centering and adaptive cruise to more than 300 vehicles. It offers smoother highway performance than many OEM systems but is not self‑driving and requires full driver supervision. Costing about $1,200–$1,500 installed, it gives older EVs and hybrids a modern ADAS upgrade without subscriptions.

VinFast is entering the ultra‑luxury EV market with its new Lac Hong brand, launching the 800S SUV and 900S sedan. Both use a 460 kW tri‑motor system and target buyers of Rolls‑Royce, Maybach, and Lucid. The shift reflects VinFast's move away from mass‑market struggles toward higher‑margin luxury segments, blending Vietnamese design identity with global EV performance benchmarks.

Western governments are shifting from competing with China on cheap solar panels to investing in higher‑value parts of the solar ecosystem such as inverters, trackers, storage, and grid software. Europe and the UK lead with policies that reward grid flexibility and system intelligence, while the US risks falling behind unless it pivots from panel manufacturing toward transmission, advanced inverters, and energy‑software innovation.

Canada's new quota allows 49,000 China‑built EVs into the country at normal tariffs, creating a split North American market as the U.S. keeps strict barriers. Tesla, Polestar, and Volvo benefit first because their China‑built models are already certified. SAIC's MG4 is the most likely early entrant. The shift boosts competition and lowers prices in Canada while indirectly pressuring U.S. automakers.

A San Diego startup is promoting the Skyrider1 ultralight eVTOL via syndicated press releases, but key details about the company, its leadership, and the aircraft's performance remain unverified. The project appears linked to Morty Berger's small firm My Flying Car, with no FAA certification or technical documentation. The Skyrider1 should be treated as marketing, not confirmed aviation progress.
