Alexander Black+FollowRivian’s R2 SUV Is Coming for TeslaRivian’s stock just shot up 48%—even though they delivered fewer cars last year. The buzz? Their new R2 electric SUV is almost ready to hit the streets, and it’s aimed right at Tesla’s Model Y. With a $45K starting price and production ramping up in Illinois, Rivian could shake up the affordable EV game. Will this be the move that finally gives Tesla some real competition? #Cars #Rivian #EVs60Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowEV Batteries Just Got a Major UpgradeGet this: Russian scientists have figured out how to make EV batteries way more powerful and longer-lasting by tweaking the inside of the battery cathode. They added a special gradient of metals and even threw in tantalum to keep everything stable. The result? Batteries that degrade half as fast, which means your future electric car (or phone!) could last way longer between charges. Real-world tests are next, but this could be a total game-changer for electric vehicles and clean energy! #Science #EVs #BatteryBreakthrough20Share
Keith Bass+FollowHow Car Batteries Could Pay Your Power BillHere’s a wild twist: Ford and GM aren’t just making electric cars to rival Tesla—they’re turning those car batteries into giant power banks for the grid. With fewer folks rushing to buy new EVs, automakers are pivoting to sell energy storage and smart charging services. Imagine your parked car helping keep the lights on (and maybe earning you some cash). It’s not just about the next SUV anymore—it’s about who powers your neighborhood! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #EVs10Share
Alexander Black+FollowEV Battery Myths Totally BustedTurns out, the whole 'EV batteries die fast' thing is way overblown. A massive new study looked at 22,700 electric cars and found most still have about 82% battery health after 8 years! If you mostly charge at home and avoid constant fast charging, your battery could be at 90% after a decade. So, if battery worries are holding you back from going electric, maybe it’s time to rethink! #Cars #EVs #ElectricVehicles10Share
Evan Knight+FollowPlug-In Hybrids’ Dirty Little SecretGM’s CEO just spilled the tea: most people with plug-in hybrids aren’t actually plugging them in! That means they’re missing out on the electric benefits and just lugging around extra batteries for nothing. GM is still betting big on an all-electric future, but hybrids might make a comeback—if drivers can remember to use the plug. Are plug-in hybrids really the answer, or just a half-step that’s not working? #Cars #EVs #HybridCars00Share
Michael Wilson+FollowThis SUV Just Drove Seattle to LA—No Stops!Imagine driving from Seattle to LA without ever stopping for gas or a charge. That’s what China’s Xpeng G7 SUV just pulled off, smashing the range record with 1,058 miles on a single tank and charge. It’s a hybrid, but the gas engine only charges the battery—so you’re always rolling electric. And get this: it’s way cheaper than a Tesla. Would you road trip in one? #Cars #EVs #RoadTripGoals00Share
fnixon+FollowTiny Cars, Big Moves: Tesla’s New RivalsCoffee break scoop: Forget giant screens and spaceship vibes—some new car brands are rolling into the U.S. with small, fun electric rides that focus on pure driving joy, not tech overload. Caterham’s minimalist electric coupe and Telo’s city-sized electric pickup are betting Americans want EVs that are light, simple, and unique. If you’re tired of your car acting like a smartphone, these newcomers might just be your next money-smart move! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #EVs00Share
Kelly Sanchez+FollowAre Aluminum-Boosted EV Batteries the Future?POSTECH scientists just dropped a bombshell: swapping some nickel for aluminum in EV battery cathodes could mean longer-lasting, safer, and more affordable electric cars. This tweak could help end the thermal runaway risk and make batteries cheaper to produce. But will aluminum really dethrone nickel as the go-to for high-performance batteries, or are we just trading one problem for another? Would you trust your next EV with this new tech? #Tech #EVs #BatteryTech00Share
walkerjason+FollowHyundai’s Battery Campus: Game Changer?Hyundai just dropped major news—they’re building a huge battery campus in South Korea that could totally change the EV game. This place is all about making electric car batteries better, cheaper, and longer-lasting. Plus, it’s expected to bring in new jobs and businesses. With EVs getting more popular, this move could make going electric way more tempting. Would you switch to an EV if the batteries got way better? #Cars #Hyundai #EVs00Share
William Jones+FollowGas Engines Aren’t Going Anywhere YetThought we’d all be driving EVs by 2035? Not so fast. Bosch, the world’s biggest auto supplier, says 70% of American cars will still have gas engines (including hybrids) in 2035. Even with all the hype and incentives for electric vehicles, the U.S. just isn’t moving as fast as Europe or Asia. Looks like hybrids and plug-in hybrids will be the real bridge for the next decade. Are you surprised by how slow the EV takeover might be? #Cars #CarOwnership #EVs581Share
