"In place of the traditional A-Series engine, Oxford-based EV conversion specialist Electrogenic has slotted in batteries and a Hyper 9 electric motor. Maximum power is up to 120hp, but has been reined in to just 45hp – similar to a standard Mini 1000 – to meet TfL licensing requirements."
"Part of a seven-strong fleet of Minis operated by hire company Small Car Big City, it has also been converted to electric power."

"The fiercely anti-union Musk has been livid ever since pro-union Biden pushed a provision in a bill that would benefit electric-car makers that are unionized at the expense of those that are not (namely Tesla).
"Musk may be an innovator, but he’s a lousy boss - with a long record of punishing his workers for exercising their rights under the labor laws and exposing them to unsafe working conditions."

Fourth Power's thermal battery stores energy as heat in molten tin at 2,400°C, then converts it to DC electricity using thermophotovoltaic cells. It promises 5–100 hour storage at 1/10th the cost of lithium-ion, with minimal heat loss and no rare earths. Gold in the emitter adds cost risk, but thin-film use may offset it. Competing with Antora and Malta, it targets grid-scale renewables. Adoption depends on pilot success and utility buy-in.
