Nankai University researchers published a 700 Wh/kg lithium metal battery in Nature on February 25 — nearly three times the energy density of CATL's Qilin. The same team already has a 500 Wh/kg battery installed in a FAW Hongqi vehicle targeting mass production by end of 2026.
The Boring Company has been sitting in Nashville with its Prufrock-MB1 tunnel boring machine since January, engine ready, waiting on permits. Today, the last major regulatory hurdle cleared. By tonight, the company announced it was already 2.5 feet into the ground. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced Wednesday that the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and…
After spending a decade covering the EV market, one stat in a new 61-page Fraunhofer Institute study stopped me cold: the average Porsche PHEV driver charged their battery to less than 50% capacity exactly once over two years.

Morgan Stanley just did what Tesla hasn’t: put a real number on the 100-gigawatt solar bet we warned readers about four days ago. The answer is somewhere between $30 billion and $70 billion. For context, Tesla’s entire capital expenditure budget this year is already north of $20 billion before a single solar cell rolls off…
California’s clean-truck voucher program just handed Tesla roughly $165 million in reserved funding for a truck that has delivered exactly five units to paying customers. A Los Angeles Times investigation published today exposes how the state’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) allocated nearly 1,000 vouchers to subsidize the Tesla Semi…
Six months ago, when we first reported on Stellantis shuttering factories to dodge EU emission fines, the company’s Europe chief called electrification targets “unreachable.” On Friday morning, the bill for that failed strategy arrived: €22.2 billion ($26 billion) in charges, a suspended dividend, and a 28% stock crash that wiped out billions in market value…
