Nearly One In Three Cars Produced In Germany Was Purely Electric In 2025
06 Feb 2026 | Synopsis
Despite falling ICE car sales, nearly one in three cars built in Germany in 2025 was fully electric, with factories producing 1.22 million BEVs out of 4.1 million vehicles. Including plug‑in hybrids, total electric output reached 1.67 million. Production rose 15% year‑on‑year, making Germany the world’s No. 2 EV producer after China and ahead of the U.S., according to the VDA, with the top-selling BEV is Volkswagen's ID7.Why Won't People Buy These Tiny Electric Cars?
06 Feb 2026 | Synopsis
Micro-EVs, ultra-compact EVs under 3m long, are seeing falling sales across Asia. Once expected to sell in the tens of millions, demand has slumped due to poor infrastructure, unclear regulations, and limited appeal beyond dense cities. China, India, and Southeast Asia face fragmented markets and stalled adoption, despite early hype. Industry hopes rest on better urban planning and policy support.Rising Injury Rates Leading Schools to Ban E-Scooters Across USA
06 Feb 2026 | Synopsis
E‑scooter injuries have surged, rising from under 30,000 in 2020 to 118,485 in 2024, prompting many K‑12 schools and colleges to ban or restrict e‑scooters and other micromobility devices. Administrators cite rising crash rates, near‑collisions, and safety risks to riders, pedestrians, and building occupants. Schools are responding with full bans, tighter rules, and enforcement to curb injuries.The Real Cost of Weaker Fuel-Economy Rules
06 Feb 2026 | Synopsis
Automakers and oil companies, supported by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation endorsed weaker fuel‑economy rules because they cut compliance costs and boost gasoline demand. The public pays more for fuel as efficiency stalls to tune of $185 billion by 20250. Dirtier, less‑efficient vehicles stay on the road longer, increasing air pollution and locking in higher emissions while industry profits and consumers absorb the long‑term costs.Why Everyone Is Talking About Data Centers In Space
05 Feb 2026 | Synopsis
The Scott Manley video argues that putting data centers in space could solve Earth‑based problems like cooling costs, land use, and energy demand. Space offers free cooling and constant solar power, and launch costs are falling enough to make the idea plausible. The concept is still experimental, but companies and governments are exploring it as a potential next frontier for high‑density computing if you can lock in the right orbit.

The Micromobility Paradox: Booming Sales, Rising Injuries, and the Policy Gap Schools Cannot Ignore
06 Feb 2026 | 
E‑scooter injuries are rising faster than sales as schools confront crashes, near‑misses, and fire risks tied to rapid micromobility adoption. While e‑scooters offer major environmental benefits, infrastructure and safety rules lag behind. Schools respond with bans and restrictions as they face growing injuries and hallway hazards. The trend highlights a national gap between enthusiasm and preparation.
Jetson's Personal eVTOL Race in Tuscany
05 Feb 2026 | 
Jetson staged a landmark eVTOL race in Tuscany, flying multiple Jetson ONEs through a tight GPS‑guided course over rolling hills. The event showcased precision handling, clean electric performance, and reliable repeatability. No winner was declared - the goal was proving that personal air racing is viable, safe, and closer to mainstream flight than many expected.
Hybrid-Electric Aviation: The Design Shift That Will Change the Way We Fly
04 Feb 2026 | 
Hybrid‑electric propulsion is set to reshape aviation by blending electric power with traditional turbines. Aircraft designs will evolve with new cooling systems, electrical architectures, and optimized engines, while cabins become quieter and smoother. Operators gain fuel savings, better performance, and easier maintenance. Passengers experience calmer takeoffs and lower noise as hybrid systems improve efficiency without radically changing how airplanes look or fly.
EVWorld Insights: Volvo's Quiet BEV Breakthrough
04 Feb 2026 | 
Volvo's overall sales fell 7 percent, but its fully electric models grew 13 percent while plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids/ICE declined. Nearly half of Volvo's sales are now electrified, with BEVs almost matching PHEVs in share. Models like EX30, EX90 and the new EX60 are driving demand, showing that Volvo's real growth engine is now fully electric, even in a tough, price-pressured global market.
Beyond the Paywall: U.S. Automakers Rethink Battery Ambitions Amid EV Market Turbulence
04 Feb 2026 | 
U.S. automakers are slowing battery‑factory plans as EV demand cools, costs rise, and federal incentives become less certain. Companies like Ford and GM are shifting toward hybrids and more affordable EVs while reassessing large investments. The industry sees this as a correction, not a retreat, focusing on flexible production, steadier supply chains, and technology that better matches consumer readiness.
