EDITOR'S PICK
18 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"In 2024, over 95% of power added to the grid came from renewable energy...focus on federal strategy has obscured the steadily worsening threat emanating far from Washington in towns and counties across the United States...deployment is hitting a wall in the form of local community opposition...In Indiana alone, 72 of 92 counties have restricted renewable energy development."The clean energy industry invests almost a third more in the US annually than the fossil fuel industry..."
18 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"The Omo X's real power lies in its sensors and software. With blind-spot alerts, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warnings, emergency braking, and V2V communication, it goes well beyond what most would expect from an electric two-wheeler."Without clear specs for top speed, charging time, or mileage range, it's hard for buyers to compare it directly to existing alternatives."
18 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...the nonprofit organization Veloz is embarking on a $43.5 million consumer education campaign aimed at boosting EV sales in the US...Consumer education is just part of Norway's success story...The general idea of favoring EVs has persisted across the political spectrum in Norway"At its core is ElectricForAll.org...a multilingual hub available in 15 languages, including English and Spanish...making EV ownership more accessible for every community."
18 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
One Big Beautiful Bill Act...scrapped most of Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and pushed most of the Electric Vehicle ecosystem back to, not where it was in 2021...focus for most has been on the loss of the $7,500 tax credit and the regulatory credits EVs received...the impact on EV manufacturers is even worse than that..."Biden Administration's final moves in office was to provide a loan of $6.6 billion to complete construction of a Rivian manufacturing plant in Georgia."
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"The reality is, weight alone can’t explain it. Generally speaking, yes, vehicles have been getting heavier...EVs like the Rivian R1T, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Tesla Cybertruck aren't that much heavier than some well-optioned heavy-duty pickups"...the issue is really twofold...barriers only work if they’re able to absorb the energy from an impact, they're engineered to take those hits where most of a car's energy is concentrated..."
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"Even when electricity costs more per unit than gasoline, electric vehicles can provide substantial annual savings due to their superior energy efficiency"Electric vehicles represent a more efficient use of energy resources compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. While electricity may cost slightly more per unit of energy than gasoline, the dramatic efficiency advantages of electric motors result in significantly lower operating costs per mile driven."
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"New single-crystal battery design may allow EVs to last 1 million kilometers while reducing waste and environmental damage"The heart of the problem lies in how these batteries charge and discharge...repeated charging and discharging causes the crystals to break apart. This weakens the structure and reduces the battery's ability to hold a charge...Unlike their multi-crystal counterparts, single-crystal materials are more resistant to damage..."
16 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"...new study reveals that reductions in air pollution – particularly in China and east Asia – are a key reason for this faster warming...There has already been a 75 percent reduction in east Asian sulphur dioxide emissions since around 2013"polluted air may have been masking the full effects of global warming. Cleaner air could now be revealing more of the human-induced global warming from greenhouse gases."
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"You can walk for an hour - or jump on your bicycle and arrive in 15 minutes, barely breaking a sweat."It's estimated that there are more than a billion bikes in the world. Cycling represents one of the most energy-efficient forms of transport ever invented
"When we walk or run, we essentially fall forward in a controlled manner...On a bicycle, your legs move through a much smaller, circular motion...The energy savings are immediately noticeable."
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Wayne Schell "drove his Lucid Air 71,000 miles through the Rockies and discovered an EV secret: climbing mountains drains the battery, but descending can recover over 100 miles of range."The difference between understanding EV range and mastering it is the same as knowing how to swim and being thrown into the deep end. Range anxiety isn't a bug of EVs; it's a stage in the learning curve."
