The Environmental Protection Agency recently announced it was rescinding the 2009 endangerment finding, the legal foundation for federal regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. The administration has called the move the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history. What does it actually do? And what happens next? On this episode of Stanford Legal, Professor Deborah Sivas, an expert in environmental law, joins co-host Pam Karlan to unpack the legal strategy behind the repeal, the role of recent Supreme Court decisions, and what's likely to unfold in the courts. Among other ramifications, they also explore California's authority to adopt its own, more aggressive emissions standards and what this latest move by the Trump administration signals for the future of federal climate regulation.

Nearly two years after its workers voted to establish one of the first unions at an auto factory in the South, employees at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, have approved their first contract.The United Auto Workers union announced Thursday that 96% of workers at the Chattanooga plant voted in favor of the deal, which was hashed out over months of often slow-moving talks between the union and the German automaker. It reportedly includes immediate bonuses of more than $6,500, a 20% wage increase over the life of the four-year contract, job security benefits, and cuts of at least 20% in health care premiums.#Volkswagen, #VWChattanooga, #UAW, #UnionContract, #AutoWorkers, #ManufacturingNews, #LaborNews, #UnionVictory, #CollectiveBargaining, #AutoIndustry, #USManufacturing, #Chattanooga, #TennesseeJobs, #WageIncrease, #JobSecurity, #SouthernManufacturing, #WorkforceNews, #ElectricVehicles, #ID4, #AtlasSUV, #IndustrialNews, #Unionization

Nano One Materials Corp Chief Executive Officer Dan Blondal joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's strategic priorities and commercialization roadmap for 2026, highlighting growing demand for its One-Pot LFP technology solution across multiple high-growth sectors. Blondal said interest in Nano One's lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode technology is building across three core application segments: Defence & National Security, Energy Storage Systems, and Electric Vehicles. Central to the company's commercialization strategy is its LFP demonstration plant in Candiac, Quebec, which is designed to support first production and revenue generation while advancing its technology solutions and licensing business. The company's approximately 200-tonne-per-annum Pilot Line is already operational and producing material for customer sampling, continuous process optimization, and small-scale commercial sales. Management is targeting its first commercial agreements by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, the larger Demonstration Line is currently operating manually using a full-scale reactor, with automation upgrades underway. Once commissioned, the facility is expected to reach approximately 800 tonnes per annum of capacity in the first half of 2027, marking a significant step toward scaled production. Nano One is also advancing a licensing-focused growth strategy aimed at addressing the emerging global demand for localized, diversified LFP supply chains. The company markets its One-Pot technology directly to existing cathode active material (CAM) producers as potential licensees. The solution is positioned to provide a cost-competitive, scalable process that offers a technological edge while supporting supply chain resilience and localization in emerging markets worldwide. In support of its commercialization push, Nano One announced key executive leadership changes. Alex Holmes has been appointed President and Chief Strategy Officer, bringing extensive capital markets and corporate leadership experience. Denis Geoffroy has been named Chief Operating Officer and will focus on accelerating the path to commercialization, drawing on decades of leadership in the battery materials sector. Blondal emphasized that these strategic initiatives and leadership appointments position Nano One to capitalize on accelerating global demand for LFP cathode materials and to drive long-term growth through both production and licensing opportunities. #nanoonebatterymaterialscorp #tsx #nano #otc #nnomf #OnePotTechnology #LFP #LithiumIronPhosphate #BatteryMaterials #EnergyStorage #ElectricVehicles #DefenceTech #NationalSecurity #CathodeMaterials #CAM #BatteryInnovation #SupplyChainResilience #CleanEnergy #Commercialization #PilotPlant #QuebecManufacturing #EVSupplyChain #LicensingModel

Irish drivers continue to show interest in electric vehicles and hybrids, while carefully weighing cost, charging confidence and real-world ownership considerations, according to new findings from the Carzone 2026 Motoring Report. The latest national survey shows that a third (32%) of drivers plan to purchase a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle next. Hybrids remain the most popular alternative fuel choice, with a fifth (19%) planning to buy a hybrid, while 10% intend to buy a fully electric vehicle, indicating a gradual shift away from petrol and diesel rather than a complete behaviour change. Cost remains the most influential factor in decisions around electric vehicles. Four in ten drivers (40%) cite upfront price as a factor preventing them from making the switch, followed by concerns around reliability (31%) and electricity costs (28%). Alongside cost, confidence around EV ownership is being shaped by widespread misinformation and uncertainty. While the EV market has evolved rapidly, perceptions have been slower to catch up. Seven in ten drivers (69%) believe electric vehicles are more expensive to buy than petrol or diesel alternatives, despite increasing price parity and a growing number of more affordable models entering the market. Concerns around depreciation also persist, with six in ten (59%) believing EVs lose value faster. Nearly half of drivers (47%) think electric vehicles cost more to run, although more than one in five (22%) actively disagree, highlighting a clear gap between perception and real-world ownership experience. Charging infrastructure is also front of mind. Seven in ten drivers (71%) say there are not enough public charging points in Ireland, while 62% believe charging an electric vehicle takes too long. More than half (58%) say electric vehicles do not offer sufficient range for everyday driving. For those who have already made the move, experience differs from perception. Among current EV owners, 86% cite lower running costs as a key benefit, while 65% say they primarily charge their vehicle at home. Commenting on the findings, Conor Faughnan, Carzone's Independent Motoring Expert, said: "Irish drivers are taking a thoughtful approach to electric vehicles. Interestingly, the survey shows that while 18% of those planning to buy new are considering an electric vehicle, that figure drops to just 4% among used car buyers. This demonstrates what motorists are weighing up, from cost and charging to reliability. The findings also show that for those who already own an EV, the experience around running costs can differ from expectations. Having access to clear, independent information and advice is key as drivers consider making the EV switch." The Carzone 2026 Motoring Report is based on a nationally representative survey of 1,000 Irish drivers conducted in November 2025. The report forms part of a wider examination of how motorists are navigating changing fuel choices, ownership costs and vehicle technology.

On my route home from work is a big arterial road with a whole line of different car dealerships. There's a Toyota yard, a Ford dealership, a Mazda and a Volkswagon. A series of uber-fancy ones selling everything from Audis to McLarens to Lamborghinis. And as I made my one home one night a couple of weeks ago, a new sign caught my eye. What the hell is Zeekr? I wondered. Actually, truth be told I already had a pretty good hunch and a quick Google that evening confirmed my suspicion. Zeekr is the latest premium Chinese EV company to hit the New Zealand market. You can add it to Geely and Farizon, EV brands owned by the same Chinese conglomerate. Add to those Xpeng, which has its first dealerships and sells a pretty smart-looking coupe SUV. Add to it Leapmotor, Dongfeng and old mate BYD, and if you've spent any time on the road in New Zealand of late, you've surely noticed we are in the midst of a bit of a revolution with Chinese Evs. It's not just us, of course. It's everywhere. Last year, China exported $115B worth of electric vehicles. That was a 43% increase on 2024. And they're not only relying on a single export market for their sales. Chinese EV sales are booming almost everywhere. 66 countries last year spent more than $US 100m on Chinese EVs. Why am I telling you this? Well I reckon there's good reason to think that Donald Trump's decision to scrap emissions standards and environmental regulations this week, is the equivalent of laying down your king and resigning the chess board. It might make combustion engine vehicles a bit cheaper for U.S consumers in the short term, but as the World slowly shifts to cleaner technology, it hands the Chinese EV makers an even greater advantage. Where is the incentive for U.S carmakers to make good EVs? Where is the incentive to push consumers towards electric vehicles? There's a reason Tesla has opposed scrapping the vehicle standards. And what will it mean for U.S carmakers trying to sell into markets where emissions standards are still in place? China's used some pretty extraordinary methods to propel its clean tech industries. They've subsidised and propped up EV makers in a way that foreign manufacturers say is anti-competitive and unfair. But look at BYD's extraordinary vertical integration. They own mining rights. They revolutionised battery technology. They have purpose-built ships, designed to the perfect specifications to maximise the number of vehicles they can export. And look at the quality, the features, and price point of Chinese EVs. There is a reason they are poving so popular. I don't think for a moment that EVs are the solution to everything. But I do think that on balance they'll play a huge part in domestic transport in the near future. If you agree, then in my view Donald Trump and the United States has just thrown in the towel and more or less guaranteed that China will dominate that EV future.

In a bid to help Canadians afford lower-emission vehicles, Ottawa unveiled a new EV strategy last week. Prime Minister Carney scrapped the Trudeau-era EV sale mandate, instead introducing rebates for customers and new emission standards for manufacturers. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Brian Kingston, President of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association to make sense of how everyday Canadians will benefit from the strategy, whether or not the emission standards will further weaken our auto industry in the wake of US tariffs, and how much closer it will bring us to our 2050 goal of achieving net-zero emissions.

Nevo reports that the Irish car market has crossed a landmark moment. New figures released by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show that 7,319 (Up 48.67% on 2025) electric vehicles were registered in January 2026, meaning electric cars officially outsold petrol cars (7,245) for the first time in a single month. It marks a significant acceleration in a trend that has been building steadily over the past number of years. While electrification was once viewed as a long-term ambition, the January data confirms it is now a present-day reality. This is not the first time electric vehicles have overtaken a traditional fuel type. Back in April 2023, EVs outsold diesel cars for the first time on a monthly basis. That moment proved to be a tipping point. By 2025, electric vehicles accounted for 18.9% of all new car sales, while diesel fell to 17.1%, meaning EVs surpassed diesel for the full year as a whole. What makes the January 2026 figures particularly striking is the scale and speed of growth. Ireland registered more electric vehicles in the first 28 days of January (6,0?? units) than in the entire 12 months of 2020, when just 4,013 EVs were sold nationwide. In effect, more than a year's worth of progress has been compressed into just four weeks! This surge has been driven by several converging factors. Public charging infrastructure continues to expand, consumer understanding of electric ownership has improved, and real-world experience has helped dispel many early misconceptions around range and usability. Perhaps most importantly, the long-discussed issue of price is rapidly fading. The arrival of electric family cars priced between €20,000 and €30,000 has effectively burst the so-called pricing myth that EV's are more expensive. In many segments, electric and combustion vehicles now sit at or near price parity. With the reduction in tech and battery prices, many brands now offer entry into EV ownership at sub €20k with real-world range and comfort. For buyers, the decision increasingly comes down not to cost, but to individual needs, driving patterns and lifestyle. Competition has also intensified dramatically. The entrance and rapid growth of Chinese manufacturers such as MG, BYD, XPeng, and, most recently, Leapmotor, have reshaped the market, putting pressure on established brands to be competitive and accelerate innovation. January sales figures by manufacturer place Hyundai firmly in the lead, with Volkswagen and Kia close behind, while BYD and Renault complete the top five best-selling electric brands. Looking at the five best-selling electric vehicles puts the Volkswagen ID.4 on top, followed by the Hyundai Inster, Kia EV3, Hyundai Kona Electric, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The year ahead will see the arrival of many more exciting new electric vehicles. This means together, the data points to a clear conclusion that Ireland is no longer approaching an electric future; it is firmly entering one! "Seeing the total numbers of EVs sold for January is hugely encouraging. At Nevo, we all hope our RDS-based Electric Vehicle Show and our nationwide Driving Experience events have played a small part in these numbers by giving people real, hands-on exposure. Once drivers experience EVs properly, the numbers tend to speak for themselves," said Simon Andreucetti, Managing Director at Nevo "This is genuinely excellent news. It shows Irish motorists are confident, informed, and ready for change! EVs outselling combustion power in a single month isn't symbolic anymore, it's fact. Choice, pricing parity and real-world experience have finally aligned, and the market is moving decisively forward. Our Nevo YouTube channel growth reflects this trend with more people consuming and engaging with our content monthly," added Derek Reilly, Content & PR Director at Nevo.

Benjamin reviews the 2026 GMC Terrain Denali, a model we haven't even thought about since 2021! It's got good looks, plenty of equipment and a decent price... but why is Sami so annoyed by it? Maybe it has something to do with his ancient phone... Then Sami reviews the 2026 Volvo XC60, a car the guys haven't reviewed since 2022! It has a mild hybrid system, a punchy turbo-four and decent looks, so Sami and Benjamin get to the bottom of why this car has been overshadowed by other choices in the segment. That's it for this week, thanks for listening!

Ireland's transition to electrified mobility continues to strengthen, with two in five Irish consumers (40%) planning to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) in the next 24 months, according to new research from EY's Mobility Consumer Index (MCI). The findings, which are based on over 500 Irish respondents in the global survey of 32 countries, reveal that environmental concerns (37%), lower running costs (31%), increased EV range (30%) and high fuel prices (27%) are the primary drivers behind Irish consumers' growing interest in electrification. However, barriers still persist, with more than one-third (36%) citing uncertainty around charging and running costs as a deterrent, while 31% point to a lack of charging infrastructure in their area. The research comes at a time when Ireland's private car market is undergoing significant change. Recent CSO figures show that in 2025, electric and hybrid vehicles represented 57% of new registrations, an increase of 11 percentage points from 2024. The higher proportion of EVs in actual registrations compared to consumer intent may reflect several factors, including the influence of incentives and market conditions at the point of purchase that may shift consumer decisions beyond initial intentions. Commenting on Ireland's evolving automotive market, Julia Ann Corkery, EY Ireland Transport Leader, said: "What we're seeing in the Irish market is sustained and growing demand for electrified vehicles, with 40 per cent of prospective buyers indicating an intention to choose an electrified option. Building on last year's rebound in EV sales, the findings highlight strong consumer motivations around sustainability, lower running costs and improved vehicle performance, which continue to underpin Ireland's transition to cleaner mobility. "Alongside these factors, broader market trends are also contributing to interest in EVs, including the increasing availability of more competitively priced EV models. We have seen clear movement across Europe toward lower-cost options entering the market, which is helping to make electrified vehicles more accessible. "While consumers still have practical questions around charging and overall running costs, a lot of which relates to their specific housing circumstances and associated off-street parking, or not, these are typical considerations in any maturing market. Ongoing investment across the public, private and local authority landscape in Ireland is helping to build confidence, and as infrastructure and technology continue to progress, the fundamentals for EV adoption in Ireland remain very solid." Car buying preferences align with market reality Among the 40% of Irish respondents planning to purchase an electrified vehicle, preferences closely mirror current market composition: — 15% intend to buy a full hybrid — 15% plan to purchase a battery electric vehicle (BEV) — 10% are considering a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Meanwhile, 51% of prospective car buyers still plan to purchase an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, with the remainder undecided. This underlines that despite the momentum towards electrification, there is still some way to go in the transition. Practical concerns dominate EV hesitancy For those not planning to purchase an EV, cost-related factors feature prominently: — 36% cite uncertainty surrounding charging and running costs — 31% point to insufficient charging infrastructure nearby — 30% are concerned about upfront purchase costs — 30% worry about battery replacement expenses "Whilst public confidence continues to build, charging infrastructure remains a practical concern for many buyers. The State, through Transport Infrastructure Ireland and ZEVI, has played a significant role in accelerating delivery, with three grant schemes rolled out between 2024 and 2025 to support investment in high-power charging, particularly along the national road network. As EV penetration within the national fleet grows, we expect the private market to pl...

It's hard out there for any automaker dealing with tariffs, development costs, consumer sentiment and a muted shift to electric vehicles – and luxury carmakers are not exempt.A new report suggests that Porsche's cost cutting efforts may be so aggressive that the luxury automaker could kill two brand new models before they've even left the building.At issue are the all-electric Cayman and 718 Boxer, models that Carscoops says were “meant to define Porsche's future” but might soon fall victim to soaring costs and shifting market dynamics.In 2022, under the oversight of then-CEO Oliver Blume, Porsche announced an ambitious goal: 80% or more of its new vehicles would be all-electric by 2030.As we know, in a few short years a lot has changed. And while Porsche was sunsetting the ICE versions of the 718 Boxer and Cayman and developing the new electric ones, it began struggling with mounting costs and delays.https://www.ien.com/product-development/video/22959886/porsche-may-kill-these-2-models-before-they-even-hit-the-market#Porsche, #PorscheEV, #ElectricVehicles, #EVNews, #AutoIndustry, #LuxuryCars, #CarNews, #AutomotiveNews, #ElectricCars, #Cayman, #718Boxster, #PorscheCayman, #Porsche718, #EVMarket, #AutoTariffs, #CarManufacturing, #SupplyChain, #BatteryShortage, #Northvolt, #FutureOfCars, #EVTransition, #AutoBusiness, #Bloomberg, #Carscoops

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by automotive expert Lauren Fix to break down the growing push for vehicle “kill switch” technology. They examine how data-driven sensors could allow cars to make decisions for drivers, raising serious questions about government oversight, corporate lobbying, and personal freedom. The conversation explores privacy risks, potential abuses of power, and why lawmakers—and consumers—must pay closer attention before control over America’s vehicles quietly shifts away from drivers.

This weeks show starts with Sami's review of the 2026 Toyota Sienna minivan, which is apparently inspired by Japan's iconic bullet trains. Although our hosts struggle to see the direct connection, their discussion of the minivan covers all kinds of topics, ranging from the importance of max cargo room in a van, to whether shared media experiences are still valuable during a roadtrip. Then the guys talk about a few important news topics that came up, including the death of the Dodge Hornet, the arrival and cancellation of the new Chevy Bolt, and the arrival of new Chinese EVs on Canadian roads. Finally the show wraps up with an important reader question. We hope you enjoyed listening this episode as much as we loved recording it!
