Im aktuellen Podcast hatte ich Dr. Michael Ruf zu Gast – President of European Market bei SuperPanther. Ein Name, der in Europa bislang noch nicht vielen geläufig sein dürfte, im Nutzfahrzeugbereich aber für einiges an Bewegung sorgen könnte. Denn SuperPanther hat ambitionierte Pläne: Der Hersteller aus China will bis 2030 rund 16.000 vollelektrische LKWs mit eigener Technologie auf europäische Straßen bringen – und das mit einem Mix aus lokaler Fertigung, datengetriebenem Energiemanagement und direktem Kundenkontakt. Die Basis dafür liefert ein Truck, der bereits in China im Einsatz ist. Dort wurde vor rund einem Jahr der erste E-LKW in Serie gebracht – eine schwere Zugmaschine mit 6x4-Konfiguration. Für Europa wird das Modell auf eine 4x2-Ausführung umgebaut. Die technische Entwicklung läuft vollständig in China, doch für den europäischen Markteintritt setzt man auf starke Partner: „Die Technologie kommt von uns, die Fertigung übernimmt Steyr Automotive in Österreich“, so Michael Ruf. Diese Kombination aus Hightech und Erfahrung soll Qualität und Verlässlichkeit garantieren. Beeindruckend ist vor allem die Detailtiefe, mit der SuperPanther das Gesamtsystem optimiert hat: Zwei Elektromotoren mit zusammen rund 500 kW Dauerleistung, ein durchgängig konstruiertes Achsgehäuse, Silizium-Carbid-Inverter mit Soft-Switching-Technologie, ein dreistufiges Thermomanagementsystem mit Wärmepumpe bis minus 30 Grad. Das spart nicht nur Energie – „Wir brauchen bis zu 60 Prozent weniger für Heizung und Kühlung“, sagt Ruf – sondern bringt auch bis zu 15 Prozent mehr Reichweite. Im Praxiseinsatz soll der Truck bis zu 500 Kilometer schaffen, Tendenz steigend. Die Batterie fasst über 600 kWh, geladen wird mit High Power Charging und perspektivisch auch per Megawatt-Charging. Ruf relativiert jedoch: „Die meisten Kunden brauchen das gar nicht – sie wollen lieber verlässlich und effizient laden, auch mal mit 50 kW, wenn's passt.“ Neben der Hardware hebt SuperPanther vor allem die Softwarekompetenz hervor. Da sämtliche Komponenten selbst entwickelt wurden, kann der Verbrauch in Echtzeit optimiert werden – sowohl fahrerunabhängig als auch durch personalisierte Anpassung. Erste Tests mit Kunden zeigten: „Wir haben die Verbrauchswerte von 1,3 auf 1,05 kWh pro Kilometer senken können – bei voll beladenem LKW.“ Ein Knackpunkt im Nutzfahrzeugmarkt ist das Thema Vertrauen. Ruf ist sich dessen bewusst: „Als neue Marke müssen wir mehr tun als andere – vor allem beim Service.“ Geplant sind ein zentrales Ersatzteillager, Vorhaltung von Teilen in Servicezentren und sogar Ersatztrucks im Fall der Fälle. Zudem setzt man auf Predictive Maintenance – inklusive DSGVO-konformer Datenspeicherung auf europäischen Servern. Auch beim Preis positioniert sich SuperPanther differenziert. Man wolle nicht Dumping betreiben, sondern ein attraktives Gesamtpaket anbieten – inklusive Ökosystem mit eigener Ladeinfrastruktur und optionaler Energiegewinnung. Der Vertrieb erfolgt direkt, mit enger Kundenbindung und individuellen Lösungen. „Wir wollen, dass unsere Kunden sagen: Das war gut gelöst.“ Der Serienstart in Europa ist für Mitte 2026 vorgesehen, erste Märkte sind Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz. Doch auch andere Länder seien denkbar – immer in Abhängigkeit vom Kundeninteresse. „Wenn einer aus Schweden kommt, machen wir es möglich.“ Und die europäische Variante wird dann sogar weiterentwickelt sein als die erste chinesische Version: „Die Kabine ist hochwertiger, die E-Achse leistungsfähiger – wir entwickeln kontinuierlich weiter.“ Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Dr. Michael Ruf einsteigen.

Face à la raréfaction de l'eau douce sur la planète, le dessalement de l'eau de mer semble une solution séduisante : après tout, les océans couvrent plus de 70 % de la surface terrestre. Pourtant, cette technologie reste peu développée à l'échelle mondiale. Pourquoi ?La première raison est énergétique. Dessaler l'eau de mer demande une quantité importante d'énergie. La méthode la plus courante aujourd'hui, l'osmose inverse, utilise des membranes sous haute pression pour filtrer le sel. Produire un mètre cube d'eau potable nécessite en moyenne entre 3 et 5 kWh. Cela reste beaucoup plus coûteux que le traitement de l'eau douce issue de nappes phréatiques ou de rivières.Or, dans de nombreux pays, cette énergie provient encore de sources fossiles. Résultat : les usines de dessalement émettent du CO₂, contribuant au changement climatique. Paradoxalement, en cherchant à compenser la pénurie d'eau, on alimente le réchauffement global qui aggrave justement cette pénurie.La deuxième limite est économique. Construire une usine de dessalement coûte cher : plusieurs centaines de millions d'euros pour des unités de grande capacité. L'eau ainsi produite reste donc plus onéreuse pour les consommateurs. Ce modèle est viable pour des pays riches (comme Israël, les Émirats arabes unis ou l'Espagne), mais reste inaccessible pour de nombreuses régions du monde.Enfin, il y a la question de l'impact environnemental. Le processus de dessalement génère un sous-produit appelé saumure : une eau extrêmement concentrée en sel, souvent rejetée dans la mer. Cela crée des zones de forte salinité au large des usines, perturbant les écosystèmes marins. La faune benthique, les poissons, les coraux peuvent en souffrir.Une étude publiée en 2019 dans Science of the Total Environment a révélé que pour chaque litre d'eau douce produite, 1,5 litre de saumure est rejeté. Avec plus de 16 000 usines de dessalement en activité dans le monde, cela représente un enjeu écologique majeur.Certaines solutions émergent : valoriser la saumure en extrayant des minéraux (magnésium, lithium), ou la diluer avant rejet. Mais ces techniques restent coûteuses et complexes.En résumé, le dessalement n'est pas généralisé car il est énergivore, coûteux et impacte les milieux naturels. C'est un outil précieux dans certaines régions arides, mais pas une solution miracle. Mieux vaut en parallèle renforcer les économies d'eau, recycler les eaux usées, et protéger les ressources existantes. La clé réside dans une gestion globale et durable de l'eau. Hébergé par Acast.

In EV-nieuws bespreken Jasper en Joeri de Renault 5 vanaf 25.000 euro, de Kia EV3 en EV6 GT-Line Business Editions (hele mond vol) en de MINI Aceman. In de rubriek achtergrond wordt het helemaal interessant, want daarin wordt uitgebreid stilgestaan bij snelladen voor slechts 0,49 ct/kWh, Plug and Charge van Allego en het Megawatt laadnetwerk van BYD. Er wordt daarnaast ook dieper ingegaan op de dalende accuprijzen, de slag om de grondstoffen in Europa en wat als je accu helemaal leeg is. Dus onder de 0%... Twee rijtesten worden er besproken. Die van de nieuwe Farizon SV en Volvo EX90.

Esta semana arrancamos el episodio con un producto que apunta alto en el competitivo mercado de los SUV eléctricos: el nuevo KGM Torres EVX. Un modelo que se diferencia claramente de su versión de combustión por su diseño más limpio y agresivo, con una parrilla cerrada, seis llamativos puntos de luz diurna LED, detalles como un guiño a la bandera coreana y un parachoques que recuerda a un casco de fútbol americano (o eso dice la marca...) Interiormente, sorprende por su espacio, su doble pantalla de 12,3 pulgadas, consola flotante y un maletero de hasta 839 litros. Con 207 CV de potencia, una batería de 73,4 kWh y una autonomía urbana de hasta 635 km, el Torres EVX es una opción muy competitiva. Además, ofrece una garantía sobresaliente: 10 años o 1 millón de km para la batería. Hablamos también de su futura versión comercial EVX Van, con 1,7 m³ de capacidad de carga y una autonomía muy superior a sus rivales del segmento. En la segunda parte del episodio nos ponemos al volante del renovado Isuzu D-Max, uno de los pocos pick-up auténticos que quedan en el mercado, y que llega con mejoras en confort, tecnología y capacidades todoterreno. Te contamos cómo va en carretera y fuera de ella. Y cerramos con una gran iniciativa de movilidad accesible: el programa Ford Adapta, que facilita vehículos adaptados a personas con movilidad reducida, gracias a una colaboración entre Ford España y Fundación ONCE. Un paso importante hacia una movilidad más inclusiva.

This is the first in a series where we aim to learn more about Irish solar trends. Who are we talking to, is it a logical journey to what you do now? You're speaking to Morgan Pierce, the founder and CEO of SolarSmart. My journey to solar started with a passion for sustainability and a belief that solar energy should be accessible for everyone. I don't come from a typical engineering background, but I've always been driven by innovation and environmental impact. I founded the company in late 2020 as a result of seeing a gap in the Irish market for a customer-first approach to the solar energy market. So it's been a logical, if unconventional, path that led me here. Irish Solar Trends with Morgan Pierce, SolarSmart It looks like solar installations was something that gradually grew and evolved as a business for you - would this be a fair description of the evolution of your company? Absolutely. SolarSmart started small, with me, a vision, and commitment to help people understand the power and practicality of solar. It grew steadily through word of mouth, education and trust. We've now installed over 1,300 solar systems across Ireland. Our evolution reflects increasing awareness and increasing confidence in solar as a viable solution for Irish homes and businesses Does Ireland get as much / more / less solar than other countries in Europe? Ireland gets less solar irradiation compared to countries like Spain or Italy, but it's still very viable here. A little known fact is that solar panels produce more electricity in temperatures of 25 celsius and lower! So, combined with our very long summer days and temperate climate, solar production in summer creates significant credit on your electricity bill which you take into the winter to offset when the solar is not as productive. Plus, thanks to advancements in panel technology, even on cloudy days, panels generate significant energy. Germany has a very successful solar industry with similar sunlight levels to Ireland. The key is designing each system specifically for the Irish climate, which is something we specialise in at SolarSmart. How much energy does a typical three bed house need, and therefore how many panels, batteries and kit would they need? A typical three bed house in Ireland uses on average 4,500 kWh per year. A well-designed solar system for a home like this would typically include 10 panels. This system size also allows homeowners to avail of the maximum SEAI solar PV grant of €1,800. Adding a battery, usually 5 or 10 kWh in capacity allows you to store surplus energy for use at night. A hot water immersion diverter also helps maximise your self-consumption and reduce your bills. What are the approximate costs for this, and the payback period? The approximate cost for a fully installed 4kWp residential system including 10 panels, an inverter and a 5kW battery is €8,600. This is after the SEAI grant. The payback period depends on the home's energy usage and system size, but it typically falls between 4 and 6 years. Have these costs come down as solar panel technology has improved? Yes, significantly. Over the past decade, the cost of solar panels has dropped more than 70%, while efficiency has increased. Batteries have also become more affordable and efficient, helping homeowners use more of their own solar energy. This trend in battery affordability is likely to continue as global demand and battery innovation improves. What tips would you give to people thinking of installing solar? Talk to a reputable installer who will design a system to match your energy needs. Look for an SEAI-registered installer, check out their online reviews, e.g. on Trustpilot, and ask questions. Our installation teams are employees; this is also key. Finally, a solid solar partner is not pushy and prioritises education and transparency. What might the future look like in Ireland in terms of people going off the grid? Full off-grid living is still niche in Ireland due to our climate and i...

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Hoy en AutoFM seguimos profundizando en el mundo de ONLOGIST, la innovadora plataforma que está transformando la movilidad de flotas en España. Si la semana pasada conocimos los orígenes del proyecto, hoy nos metemos de lleno en la verdadera fuerza que mueve la compañía: su comunidad de conductores. Porque detrás de cada traslado hay una historia, una persona, y ONLOGIST ha logrado convertir ese proceso logístico en algo mucho más humano, eficiente y digital. ¿Cómo? Creando un sistema donde los conductores no son meros ejecutores, sino protagonistas del servicio. Ellos eligen cuándo, cómo y por cuánto trabajan. A través de una app sencilla y ágil, pueden acceder a encargos, fijar su tarifa y recibir pagos rápidos, sin rigideces ni intermediarios. Hablamos con Alana Martínez, Augusto Macedo y David Díaz, tres piezas clave dentro de la compañía, que nos explican cómo funciona esta red: un mercado abierto donde reina la flexibilidad, donde los perfiles que entran son profesionales autónomos con experiencia y actitud. ONLOGIST les ofrece formación, herramientas digitales y soporte en tiempo real para garantizar que cada entrega sea puntual, segura y satisfactoria. Nos cuentan también algunas anécdotas entrañables: conductores que llevan más de mil entregas, otros que han recorrido media España bajo condiciones complicadas. En definitiva, una comunidad comprometida que es parte esencial del éxito de ONLOGIST. En la segunda parte del programa, nos fijamos en un modelo muy especial que aterriza en el mercado español: el Hyundai Inster, un eléctrico urbano que da mucho más de lo que aparenta. Con una batería de hasta 49 kWh y una autonomía de 355 km WLTP, este compacto de apenas 3,82 metros no solo sirve para el día a día en ciudad, sino que permite plantearse escapadas y viajes de media distancia. ¿Lo mejor? Su carga rápida hasta 85 kW, que te lleva del 10 al 80 % en unos 30 minutos. Si sabes planificar, el Inster puede ser una solución real para moverse con etiqueta, eficiencia y estilo. Y para terminar, un consejo útil de mantenimiento que puede ahorrarte más de un disgusto: si vas a dejar el coche parado varios días, llena el depósito antes de aparcarlo. Así evitas la condensación de agua en el interior del tanque, un fenómeno que puede acabar generando corrosión o problemas en el sistema de alimentación.

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Junto a Belén Chaves, Product Manager Omoda & Jaecoo en España, repasamos toda la gama de producto de la marcha china. El especial dedicado a Omoda y Jaecoo dejó muy claro el esquema de producto con el que el grupo Chery pretende afianzarse en España. Su “puerta de entrada” es el Omoda 5, un SUV compacto (4,40 m) que ya supera las 10.000 unidades matriculadas gracias a una combinación de diseño rompedor, buen ajuste de materiales y un equipamiento de serie inusual por un precio que arranca en 22.990 €. Sobre la misma carrocería se comercializa también el Omoda 5 EV: 61 kWh de batería, más de 400 km WLTP y todo el paquete tecnológico por 24.290 €, lo que lo sitúa entre los eléctricos más asequibles del segmento. La firma “todoterreno” del consorcio es Jaecoo. Su primer modelo, el Jaecoo 7, comparte tamaño exterior con Omoda 5 pero apuesta por un estilo más robusto y tracción total opcional. Se vende con motor 1.6 T de 145 CV y, desde este año, con el inédito sistema híbrido enchufable SHS: batería de 18 kWh recargable en

Harvey Michaels is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan Business School lecturer. He teaches a popular course on Energy Management and Artificial Intelligence. He is also the Director of MIT's Clean Heat Transition Project. In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic Ted and Harvey reflect on his career in energy management, for years at the forefront of energy efficiency and energy management as president of Xenergy and Nexus Energy. Now his mission at MIT is "to support student career objectives and to design and manage initiatives to create societal, economic, and carbon benefits."Utility rates are discussed, and Harvey makes clear the need for rate reform. Why do utilities continue to offer flat electricity rates that send no signals to consumers? As other industries have done, such as airlines, Why not set dynamic rates that give consumers accurate price signals? Utility grids are inefficiently managed. There are times when power is very cheap. Flat rates -- like the average 33 cents per kWh in Massachusetts -- retard the adoption of beneficial electrification. What is needed, he makes clear, are rates that reflect marginal costs of power delivery... so that heat pumps and electric vehicles and other forms of beneficial electrification can be cost-effectively purchased and universally adopted drawing power at low cost periods and boosting utilities' load profiles.Harvey and Ted discuss the nexus between customer action and utility policy. On one hand, AI and its machine learning is allowing consumers to near-automatically make smart energy management decisions and to lower their costs and environmental impacts. AI can take complex energy management and pricing signals to optimize on usage. Meanwhile, Harvey makes clear the need for policy reforms to combat climate change.Yes, Harvey explains, that the utility sector is in a period of retrenchment. Politics is the challenge of the day. But from challenging times spring forth innovation. AI provides powerful decision-making capabilities, means of optimizing energy use to meet today's challenges. New forms of grid services such as virtual power plants and other controllable loads, provide means to meet consumer and utility objectives. While optimistic, Harvey is concerned about the urgency of the climate crisis. He is impatient for society to truly "connect the dots" and responsibly address energy management and carbon mitigation needs head on, to use the tools at hand and to meet our broad and critical societal objectives.

Driving Renault’s Megane E-Tech SUV – a small French SUV with adifference, setting it apart from the look alike new breed of Chinese electriccars. At $54,990 plus on-road costs more than competitive, cheaper thanVolvo’s EX30 and in a way more charming. The styling impressive, hatchlike with large 20-inch wheels tucked into the corners. Step inside and itbreathes clever design, quality materials and individuality. With alightweight 60kWh battery feeding a single electric motor driving the frontwheels it offers a driving range of 454Km which I found accurate. Relativelylight for an electric car with a slim lightweight battery under the floor Ifound the energy consumption excellent at 14.1 kWh/100km. Electric carstend to ride harder` due to battery weight – not so for the Megane E-Tech,extremely comfortable helped by great seats although disappointing onlywith manual adjustment. Welcome five-star safety plus four available drivemodes that noticeably change the complexion of the drive, while steeringfeel is a high point. As I said earlier, it feels more premium in all it doesapart from some tyre roar on courser road surfaces. I came away veryimpressed with this electric Renault Megane – appealingly different and aclassy small French SUV. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Porsche Macan followed the wildly popular Porsche Cayenne and gave would-be crossover and SUV shoppers another Porsche-badged option to haul their family around town. The first generation Porsche Macan came online in 2014, and for the last decade stood proudly in Porsche showrooms. Of course, a decade is a long time for a Porsche to stick around without a major chassis overhaul, which came in 2024. Except, this was more than just a second-generation Macan – it came without an engine, entirely. That's right; Porsche has pivoted the Macan to a battery-electric nameplate for its second-gen car. The base-model Macan Electric sports a single motor that shoves 335 hp through the rear wheels. While there are more powerful versions of the Macan EV, all these machines use a 100 kWh battery pack. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Porsche Macan Electric and puts it through its paces. Later in the show, Murphy takes you on a guided tour of the latest Macan and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Murphy takes you on a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the battery-electric Macan, the state of battery-electric crossovers, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Macan Electric special.

Christoph Strecker war erneut zu Gast in unserem Podcast – und wie beim letzten Mal war es auch dieses Mal ein spannendes Gespräch. Als Country Manager für Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz bei Ionity bringt er nicht nur einen tiefen Einblick in die Ladeinfrastruktur mit, sondern auch klare Positionen, wohin die Reise beim Ausbau des europäischen Schnellladenetzes geht. Seit der Gründung 2017 ist Christoph bei Ionity an Bord – einem Unternehmen, das heute in 24 Ländern ultraschnelles Laden mit bis zu 400 kW an Hauptverkehrsachsen anbietet. Doch selbst in einem Wachstumsmarkt wie der Elektromobilität ist nicht alles ein Selbstläufer. Christoph bringt es auf den Punkt: „Die Auslastung wächst nicht so stark wie vor Jahren angenommen. Gleichzeitig steigen die Zinsen – das macht Finanzierung schwieriger.“ Trotzdem bleibt Ionity auf Kurs. Während andere Marktbegleiter auf die Bremse treten, bleibt Ionity beim Ausbau dran – allerdings mit angepasster Taktik. Es wird gezielter gebaut, aber weiterhin zukunftsfähig: „Wir gehen in Vorleistung, um das Henne-Ei-Problem zu lösen.“ Ein großes Thema bleibt die Bürokratie. Netzanschlüsse, Genehmigungen, Standortvorgaben – laut Christoph oft ein Graus. Subventionen hält er dagegen für überbewertet: „Ich würde mir wünschen, dass sich Elektromobilität ohne Förderung durchsetzt. Es ist die richtige und kosteneffektivste Technologie.“ Was hingegen hilft: klare politische Leitlinien und faire CO₂-Bepreisung. Wenn Verbrenner wirklich das kosten, was sie anrichten, regelt sich vieles von selbst. Technologisch sieht Ionity sich gut aufgestellt. Die vierte Generation der Ladehardware sorgt für bessere Zuverlässigkeit, günstigere Betriebskosten und effizienteren Ausbau. Entwicklungen wie Megawatt-Charging sind bereits auf dem Radar, auch wenn sie im Pkw-Bereich noch etwas brauchen werden. Besonders interessant: Die LFP-Akkus, lange als „langsam ladend“ verschrien, holen rasant auf. Das bestätigt Ionity in seiner Entscheidung, 350-kW-Ladepunkte als Standard zu setzen. Auch die Betriebssicherheit im Alltag hat sich deutlich verbessert – weniger Hotline-Anrufe, höhere Uptime und ein eigenes Technikerteam sorgen dafür, dass Kund:innen auch bei Problemen nicht liegen bleiben. Beim Thema Tarife hat sich ebenfalls einiges getan. Neben den bekannten Subscriptions Ionity Power und Motion gibt es seit Kurzem Ionity GO – einen App-basierten Tarif ohne Grundgebühr für 65 Cent pro kWh. „So bieten wir maximale Flexibilität – von Vielfahrern bis hin zu Gelegenheitsnutzern.“ Auch für Flotten hat Ionity neue Angebote aufgelegt, die bereits ab fünf Fahrzeugen greifen. Besonders spannend: Der Fleet Pro Tarif mit 33 Cent pro kWh netto – ein attraktives Modell für Unternehmen, die ihre Mobilität dekarbonisieren wollen. Und was ist mit Lkw? Hier bleibt Ionity beim Pkw-Fokus. Zwar sind leichte Nutzfahrzeuge an einigen Stationen willkommen, aber explizite Lkw-Ladeplätze für 40-Tonner wird es bei Ionity nicht geben. Christoph sagt klar: „Wir sind als Pkw-Ladenetz gegründet – und diesem Fokus bleiben wir treu.“ Zum Schluss haben wir noch über dynamisches Pricing gesprochen. Aktuell sind die Preise bei Ionity noch statisch – aber das soll sich ändern. Eine neue App bildet die Grundlage, um künftig schwankende Strompreise an die Nutzer:innen weitergeben zu können – nach oben wie nach unten. „Das Thema hat Priorität“, so Christoph, „auch wenn ich noch keine Timeline nennen kann.“ Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Christoph Strecker von Ionity einsteigen.

In this episode of In-Between Charges, Kevin and Mike welcome Chris Kaiser, founder of PlugIn and longtime clean energy advocate. Chris shares his journey from energy-efficient lighting to launching his own EV charging network, which is built on reliability, a great driver experience, and, now, the Monta platform. His story offers a candid look at what it takes to build a charging business in the U.S. from the ground up.They dive into why many early charging efforts failed, the dominance of Tesla and ChargePoint, and why Chris believes ownership and accountability are key to long-term success. He explains how metrics like PlugShare scores and kWh per day guide his team's approach, and how pairing strong software with trusted hardware is helping Plug In grow.The conversation also covers the uncertain policy landscape, including tax credits and NEVI funding, and why Chris remains optimistic. His belief is simple: EVs are just better—and that's what will drive adoption forward. If you care about the future of charging in the U.S., this is an episode you won't want to miss.Happy charging!

This week we welcome John Fairlie, Managing Director of AW Renewables (part of AW Group), who shares his journey in revolutionising renewable energy. John discusses his pioneering "wind-to-wheel" project at Checkley Wood—the first site directly connecting wind turbines to EV charging stations, offering power at just 39p/kWh! With 20% of the UK's onshore wind development under his belt, John explains how renewable energy communities can be built around single turbines, powering thousands of homes while reducing grid dependency. His vision of integrated clean energy communities represents a return to localised power generation, but with a sustainable twist. A fascinating look at where renewables and EVs perfectly intersect.

Im Gespräch mit Christoph Völzke, Supervisor für Produkt- und Unternehmenskommunikation bei Mazda Deutschland, ging es nicht nur um Modelle und Motoren, sondern vor allem um Haltung, Strategie und das Spannungsfeld zwischen technologischem Fortschritt und ressourcenschonendem Denken. Christoph ist seit gut zweieinhalb Jahren bei Mazda und bringt fundierte Erfahrung aus der Automobilkommunikation mit. Mit ihm habe ich unter anderem über den Einstieg von Mazda in die Elektromobilität gesprochen – und den MX-30, das erste reine Elektroauto der Marke. Der kompakte Stromer setzte auf Right-Sizing, also bewusst kleine Akkus, um Ressourcen zu sparen. „Es geht nicht nur darum, wie man von A nach B kommt, sondern welche Ressourcen man für die Produktion überhaupt braucht“, erklärte Christoph. Der MX-30 sei ein guter Start gewesen, werde aber nun nicht mehr fortgeführt. Stattdessen hat Mazda mit dem neuen Mazda 6e die nächste Evolutionsstufe gezündet. Der Mazda 6e ist ein Schrägheckmodell mit zwei Batterievarianten (68,8 und 80 kWh), WLTP-Reichweiten von bis zu 552 Kilometern und klarer Positionierung im oberen Kompaktsegment. Gebaut wird das Modell im Joint Venture mit ChangAn in China. Der Einstiegspreis liegt bei 44.900 Euro. „Für das, was man serienmäßig bekommt, ein sehr gutes Angebot“, wie Christoph betonte. Neben der konkreten Produktoffensive ging es im Gespräch auch um Mazdas Multi-Solution-Ansatz – eine Art technologieoffene Roadmap. Mazda setzt dabei nicht einseitig auf batterieelektrische Autos, sondern bietet weiterhin effiziente Verbrenner, Plug-in-Hybride und Vollhybride an. Auch der serielle Plug-in-Hybrid MX-30 R-EV wurde genannt. Ein eigenes Mazda-Hybridsystem (MHS) soll ab 2027 in der nächsten Generation des CX-5 eingeführt werden. Dieser flexible Ansatz sei laut Christoph notwendig, weil Märkte wie die USA, Australien oder Teile Asiens andere Anforderungen hätten als Europa. Dabei wolle man aber keine Kompromisse bei Effizienz und Ressourcennutzung eingehen. „Durch gemischte Produktionslinien und starke Partnerschaften wie mit Panasonic Energy schaffen wir die Balance zwischen Flexibilität und schlanker Ressourcennutzung“, so Christoph. Mazda plant, von 2025 bis 2027 einen „Übergang zur Elektrifizierung“ zu gestalten und dann zwischen 2028 und 2030 die Einführung weiterer BEVs deutlich zu beschleunigen. Dass gerade chinesische Marken den europäischen Markt unter Druck setzen, nimmt Mazda ernst. Christoph sieht die Stärke der Marke jedoch in Design, technischer Innovation und einem Angebot, das eben nicht nur für die Early Adopters der Elektromobilität gedacht ist: „Wir können auch Kunden abholen, die noch nicht bereit sind, komplett auf ein Elektroauto umzusteigen.“ Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch eintauchen.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1028: Today we talk about VinFast ditching direct sales for a full franchise model, Slate launching a no-frills EV pickup that's shaking things up under $20K, and the growing movement toward skills-based hiring over college degrees.Show Notes with links:VinFast is officially out of the direct-to-consumer game in California, shifting gears to focus solely on franchised dealers across the U.S. The pivot comes as the Vietnamese EV maker wrestles with rising costs, sliding U.S. registrations, and mounting losses.VinFast is closing all 15 of its company-owned California showrooms in favor of a full franchise model.The brand currently has 38 dealer locations either open or on the way across 16 states.U.S. EV registrations dipped to just 367 in Jan–Feb 2025, an 18% year-over-year decline.The VF 8 accounted for 321 of those, while the three-row VF 9 saw just 46.The company posted a $3.18B net loss in 2024; despite revenue growth, operating costs surged.After months of mystery and speculation, Slate, the American EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, has made its first big move—introducing an all-electric, highly customizable pickup that ditches luxury frills for practicality and affordability.Slate is taking a “clean slate” approach by skipping high-end trims and focusing on accessibility.It will be built in the U.S., comes with over 100 optional accessories, and starts below $20,000 after federal incentives.The flagship model is modular, converting from a 2-seat pickup to a 5-seat SUV with optional flat-pack kit.The interior is stripped-down with HVAC knobs, crank windows and a universal phone mount—your OS, your way.Specs include a 52–84 kWh battery, 150 kW RWD motor, 8-second 0-60, and up to 240 miles range.Slate will sell directly to consumers with a $50 reservation; first deliveries are slated for Q4 2026.CEO Chris Barman says: “The definition of what's affordable is broken. Slate exists to put the power back in the hands of customers who have been ignored by the auto industry.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

1. Slamming Is a Serious Threat for Facilities Slamming is a deceptive practice where unauthorized third parties trick business staff into signing up for expensive electricity supply contracts, often by posing as utility representatives. This can result in facilities unknowingly paying much higher rates. 2. Financial Impact Can Be Huge Justin shares real-world examples where facilities ended up paying outrageous rates—like 30¢ per kWh (kilowatt hour) instead of the standard 10¢—sometimes adding up to thousands of dollars each month. One client's bill was reduced from $15,000 to $5,000 per month after the issue was detected and resolved. 3. Most People Don't Check Utility Bills Thoroughly Business owners and their staff rarely scrutinize line items on utility bills, making it easy for slamming and mistakes like being placed in the wrong “rate class” to go undetected for years. One example saved a company $120,000 in refunds. 4. David Energy Offers Ongoing Bill Monitoring as a Free Value-Add David Energy provides free bill “health checks” and ongoing monitoring to spot slamming and correct rate errors. This service is meant to protect clients from these costly mistakes and ensure they aren't overpaying, with no obligation to switch providers. 5. Education and Proactive Partnering are Critical Know the difference between utilities, suppliers, and brokers. David Energy acts as a direct supplier—not a broker—and works directly with Con Edison. Partnering with a provider who proactively reviews bills adds substantial value and financial protection for facility owners. If you want to take advantage of their free bill review, reach out to Justin and the David Energy team with your most recent utility bill for a no-strings-attached analysis.

This week co-host Chris Teague and host Jack Nerad were up to their eyeballs in modern luxury. Teague had the honor of testing the newest model from the prestigious Genesis brand, while Nerad took the wheel of the performance version of the brand's dedicated battery-electric SUV. Both were equipped with the top-rated powertrains in each model's lineup, and both provided impressive eye candy both inside and out. The 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe Chris tested features a high-performance powertrain—a "twin-charged" V6 engine with both a turbocharger and an “electric supercharger,” delivering 409 horsepower. Inside, it swaps the standard GV80's three-row layout for a sportier two-row cabin, highlighted by a sweeping 27.0-inch digital display and racy design touches like a flat-bottomed steering wheel and metal-accented pedals. Nerad tested the 2025 Genesis GV60 Performance AWD, a small, battery-electric SUV built for enthusiasts, featuring dual motors that produce up to 429 horsepower—or 483 horsepower in Boost Mode. Powered by a 77.4 kWh battery and riding on Hyundai's E-GMP platform, it pairs sharp performance with high-end comfort, offering Nappa leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital cockpit, Bang & Olufsen audio, and cutting-edge tech like facial recognition and fingerprint authentication. With sleek touches like 21-inch wheels and a Vision Roof, it delivers both dynamic driving and premium convenience in a zero-emissions package. But at $72,000 as-tested is it a smart luxury-vehicle buy? Jack and Chris will offer their opinions. We have a primo guest this week. Bob Broderdorf is the chief executive officer of the Jeep brand and he has also served in top positions with Ram and Dodge. With the American car market in turmoil recently, he will describe how the legendary Jeep brand is making its way forward. We think you'll enjoy the discussion he had with host Jack Nerad. In the news this week, Nissan has announced some new products for North America as it tries to shore up its position here in the United States. We'll have details. Hyundai has just announced that it is making a huge investment in U.S. manufacturing and parts operations, and it includes the establishment of new plant that is likely the first in decades. We'll have more on that. Porsche is upping its tech game, perhaps in response to the BMW announcement we told you about last week. And Toyota has announced a new racing series that might get Chris into the cockpit on the race course. We'll tell you all about that coming up. So we have a lot of show for you this week.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we dive into three powerful stories shaping the global hydrogen economy:

This Day in Legal History: Sandra Birth-Day O'ConnorOn this day in legal history, March 26, 1930, Sandra Day O'Connor was born in El Paso, Texas. Raised on a remote Arizona ranch, O'Connor would go on to become the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. After graduating near the top of her class at Stanford Law School in 1952, she struggled to find legal work due to widespread gender discrimination, eventually beginning her career in public service and Arizona state politics. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan nominated her to the Supreme Court, fulfilling a campaign promise to appoint a woman to the bench. Her unanimous confirmation by the Senate marked a historic shift in the Court's composition.O'Connor quickly established herself as a pragmatic and often pivotal swing vote, particularly in cases involving reproductive rights, federalism, and affirmative action. Her opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), co-authored with Justices Kennedy and Souter, preserved the core of Roe v. Wade while allowing for more state regulation—an outcome that satisfied neither side of the debate. Critics argued that her incremental, case-by-case approach often lacked a firm constitutional foundation, leading to legal uncertainty and doctrinal ambiguity.Supporters, however, praised her moderate jurisprudence as a stabilizing force in a deeply divided Court. O'Connor was also a staunch defender of judicial independence and civics education. She retired in 2006 to care for her husband, who had Alzheimer's disease, and remained active in public life for years afterward. While her legacy is marked by both trailblazing achievement and contentious rulings, O'Connor's presence on the Court undeniably reshaped the public's perception of who belongs in the nation's highest judicial institution.President Trump signed a new executive order on Tuesday targeting the prominent law firm Jenner & Block, escalating his pattern of actions against firms involved in litigation against his administration. The order restricts the firm's access to federal contracts, security clearances, and government facilities—mirroring similar actions taken against Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss. Trump justified the move by pointing to Jenner & Block's former employment of Andrew Weissmann, who worked on the Mueller investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign. The White House accused the firm of politicizing the legal system, while Jenner & Block denounced the order as unconstitutional and pledged to fight it.This is the fourth such order Trump has issued since returning to office in January. Jenner & Block has been active in challenging his administration in court, including blocking enforcement of a policy denying federal funds to providers of gender-affirming care for minors, and opposing efforts to restrict asylum rights. The firm also represents an environmental group suing the EPA over frozen grant funds. Many of Jenner's attorneys have ties to previous Democratic administrations and the January 6 congressional investigation.Trump's broader campaign includes a recent directive to the Justice Department to target law firms that have sued the government in recent years. Legal experts and bar associations have warned that these executive orders risk undermining the independence of the legal profession.Trump targets Jenner & Block in latest executive order aimed at law firms | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday on the constitutionality of how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) funds its Universal Service Fund—a program that supports broadband and phone access for underserved communities. Critics argue the FCC's funding structure violates the Constitution by improperly delegating Congress's legislative authority, a concept known as the non-delegation doctrine. They also raise concerns under the private non-delegation doctrine, claiming the FCC unlawfully transferred power to a private entity—the Universal Service Administrative Company—to manage and determine contributions to the fund.The fund, created under the 1996 Telecommunications Act, collects about $9 billion annually from telecommunications providers, who often pass these costs on to consumers. A divided ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found this setup unconstitutional, citing Congress's broad delegation of authority to the FCC and the FCC's subsequent subdelegation to a private company. The court did not specifically rule on either non-delegation theory but found the overall structure breached the Constitution's assignment of legislative powers to Congress.The FCC, backed by telecom firms and public interest groups, argues that Congress provided sufficient guidance and oversight in the law and that the agency has acted within legal bounds. The Supreme Court, which has a conservative majority, has recently scaled back the reach of federal agencies in other contexts but has yet to rule directly on a major non-delegation case in decades. A decision is expected by June.US Supreme Court to scrutinize Federal Communications Commission fund's legality | ReutersA high-stakes race for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat is shaping up to be a major political flashpoint, testing the strength of Trump's support in a swing state and attracting record-breaking spending—much of it tied to Elon Musk. The April 1 election will determine the ideological balance of the state's top court, which is poised to rule on pivotal issues like abortion access, redistricting, labor rights, and election laws ahead of the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election. Conservative candidate Brad Schimel, backed by Trump and major outside funding, is facing off against liberal candidate Susan Crawford.Over $81 million has been poured into the race, far surpassing the previous record of $55 million in 2023. Schimel and his supporters have spent about $46 million, including $17.5 million from Musk-affiliated super PACs. Musk also personally donated $2 million to the state GOP, which quickly funneled funds to Schimel's campaign. Musk has openly warned that a liberal court majority could redraw congressional districts and shift the balance of power nationally.Crawford accused Musk and Trump of trying to install a compliant judiciary, while Schimel insisted he's made no promises to any backers. Meanwhile, Democrats criticized Musk for a potential conflict of interest, citing a Tesla lawsuit in Wisconsin that may end up before the state court. Republicans countered by pointing to liberal billionaires supporting Crawford. With the court expected to rule on abortion rights, labor laws, and future election cases, this judicial race could have national implications.Wisconsin court race tests Trump's approval as Musk pours millions into campaign | ReutersA piece I wrote for Forbes this week explores why it's time to move beyond gas taxes and adopt a kilowatt-hour (kWh) tax to fund road infrastructure. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption increases, gas tax revenues are falling—undermining the traditional funding model for maintaining and expanding roads. Meanwhile, construction costs are rising, and the federal gas tax hasn't been adjusted since 1993, leaving states with a growing fiscal gap.I argue that instead of hiking gas taxes on a shrinking pool of internal combustion drivers or cutting infrastructure budgets, states should issue bonds to build out public EV charging networks. These investments could be repaid through a kWh tax on public charging—a fee that would be closely tied to actual road usage. This approach would be more proportional and transparent than flat EV registration fees or invasive mileage-tracking programs.Unlike a gas tax, which is loosely connected to how much someone drives, a kWh tax—especially if tiered by charging speed—would more accurately reflect miles traveled and wear on the roads. It also avoids privacy issues and technological complexity. Drivers charging at home could remain exempt, just as today's drivers can choose where to fuel up.Ultimately, I propose this as a modern, fair way to ensure EV drivers contribute to the roads they use, while giving states the tools to build the infrastructure needed for a successful transition.It's Time To Replace Gas Taxes With A Kilowatt Tax This is a public episode.

En 2025, la question des passoires énergétiques reste un enjeu majeur du logement en France. Selon les dernières estimations, 5,8 millions de logements sont classés F ou G sur le diagnostic de performance énergétique (DPE), les rendant particulièrement énergivores et coûteux à chauffer. Contrairement à une idée reçue, ces logements sont majoritairement occupés par leur propriétaire, et non par des locataires. Une réalité qui soulève plusieurs défis, tant économiques qu'environnementaux.Des propriétaires piégés dans des logements énergivoresLoin d'être un problème exclusivement locatif, près de 60 % des passoires énergétiques sont des résidences principales occupées par leurs propriétaires. Ces derniers se retrouvent souvent dans une impasse : d'un côté, des factures d'énergie qui explosent en raison d'une isolation insuffisante et d'équipements vétustes, de l'autre, des travaux de rénovation coûteux, difficilement finançables pour des ménages aux revenus modestes.Ce phénomène est particulièrement marqué chez les seniors, dont une grande partie vit dans de vieilles maisons individuelles en milieu rural. Beaucoup ont acquis leur bien il y a plusieurs décennies et disposent de revenus insuffisants pour entreprendre une rénovation énergétique d'ampleur.Un cadre réglementaire de plus en plus strictFace à l'urgence climatique, le gouvernement a renforcé les mesures visant à éradiquer ces logements énergivores. Depuis janvier 2023, les logements classés G consommant plus de 450 kWh/m² par an sont interdits à la location. En 2025, cette interdiction s'étendra à tous les logements classés G, puis aux F en 2028.Si ces restrictions concernent en priorité les bailleurs, elles affectent indirectement les propriétaires occupants. La valeur des passoires énergétiques sur le marché immobilier chute, rendant leur revente plus difficile sans travaux.Des aides financières encore insuffisantesPour inciter à la rénovation, plusieurs dispositifs existent, notamment MaPrimeRénov', qui subventionne partiellement l'isolation, le chauffage ou encore la ventilation. Toutefois, le reste à charge reste trop élevé pour de nombreux ménages.Face à cette situation, des associations et experts appellent à un accompagnement renforcé, avec des financements plus accessibles et des démarches simplifiées. Sans cela, des millions de propriétaires resteront prisonniers d'un logement énergivore, avec des impacts négatifs sur leur pouvoir d'achat et sur l'environnement.Si l'objectif de rénover massivement les logements d'ici 2050 est ambitieux, il ne pourra être atteint qu'en prenant pleinement en compte la réalité des propriétaires modestes, souvent oubliés des politiques publiques.

The VW Bus, in its many forms, has become one of the most recognizable vehicles in the company's history. Sure, it might be second to the VW Beetle, but even that might be a close race. While the bus has been out of production for decades for use in the U.S. market, the folks at VW showed off a battery-electric concept in 2016 dubbed BUDD-e. Of course, wiser heads prevailed, and the concept van was updated and given a new name in 2017: ID. Buzz. Of course, it would be a while before the ID. Buzz hit U.S. shores, but a successor to the VW Bus is finally showing up on U.S. streets. The '25 VW ID. Buzz rides on the brand's MEB platform and packs a 91-kWh battery pack under its floor. That battery feeds a 282 hp rear motor or a 335 hp dual-motor powertrain.On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Mark Vaughn hops behind the wheel of the 2025 VW ID Buzz and puts it through its paces. Vaughn takes you on a guided tour of the ID. Buzz to highlight some of his favorite features. Later, Vaughn takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Vaughn chats with host Wesley Wren about the '25 ID. Buzz, minivans as a whole, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 VW ID. Buzz special.

Let's dive into the NEW RAM 1500 RAMCHARGER, one of the first extended range electric vehicle (EREV) of this size in the US. With a 91.8 (92) kWh battery, 145 miles of electric range, and an inefficient 3.6L V6 generator, this hybrid offers some impressive towing and payload capacity. We'll discuss the truck's performance, its charging options, and what makes it stand out in the electric vehicle market and why full BEVs might be better. Is this the future of trucks, or just a step toward something full EVs?

In Episode 46 of *Redefining Energy - Tech*, host Michael Barnard concludes his talk with David Fishman. David examines China's dynamic energy landscape, emphasizing the rapid development of wind, solar, and energy storage technologies.The episode begins with a comprehensive analysis of wind energy, highlighting significant growth in onshore wind despite grid curtailment challenges in western regions. Offshore wind, while slower to develop, is gaining traction with ambitious plans for 15-30 GW per coastal province. Meanwhile, distributed wind energy is emerging as a key focus under innovative policies like the "10,000 Villages Harness the Wind" initiative.The conversation moves to solar energy, where Fishman explores the dual success of utility-scale megabase projects in deserts and the booming distributed solar sector. Public-private collaborations, such as the Whole County Rooftop Solar Promotion Program, have driven rooftop solar installations to tens of gigawatts in China's eastern provinces, accounting for half of the solar market.Fishman then delves into energy storage, contrasting the long-standing dominance of pumped hydropower with the meteoric rise of lithium-ion battery installations, which now outpace hydro in capacity. Battery storage serves critical roles in energy arbitrage, grid stability, and regulatory compliance, driven by mandates for renewables projects to integrate storage solutions. Independent operators are also investing heavily in battery facilities near renewable energy sites.The episode concludes with a discussion of technological advancements, including the decreasing costs of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery storage, averaging $66 per kWh in recent auctions. Fishman reflects on potential resource constraints and philosophical questions surrounding China's motivations for clean tech innovation, challenging listeners to consider whether noble intentions are essential if the results drive meaningful progress.This episode provides a nuanced exploration of the strategies and challenges defining China's energy future.

We dive into the recent price increases at Rivian Adventure Network stations across the United States. Almost every station has seen a rise in cost, with some locations experiencing increases as high as $0.29 per kWh. When comparing Rivian's new rates to Tesla's Superchargers and Electrify America, it makes Rivian's Adventure Network much less competitive.

Hydrogen vs. Battery Trucks: Which Will Dominate Long-Haul Freight? Welcome to The Hydrogen Podcast!

“Today I learned that we have a sustainability team.Thank you for your effort in this area, looking at results of the team so far, and the ROI of time invested, it's probably a good time to officially dissolve the team entirely”. In 3 sentences, almost 3 years of work from the WordPress Sustainability Group vanished and their Slack channel archived on the spot. To get clarity on what happened at WordPress and to understand what a WordPress practitioner can do to reduce the environmental footprint of her digital services, Gaël Duez welcomes 3 of the 4 founders of the original sustainability team: Csaba Varszegi, Nahuai Badiola, and Nora Ferreiros. In their much more nuanced exchange that could have been expected due to the current situation, they covered many topics including:

Erik Torenberg and Samo Burja examine how advancing desalination technology could reshape geopolitics and transform landscapes. They discuss how affordable desalination ($0.3 cents per liter) makes large-scale terraforming feasible, potentially enabling countries like Saudi Arabia or Australia to create vast green spaces and support larger populations. The technology's implications extend beyond water security to national development and climate resilience. The essay on desalination originally appeared in The Bismarck Brief - subscribe here: https://brief.bismarckanalysis.com/ —

Audi's e-tron lineup might have started with a lone crossover half a decade ago but has been spun into almost a sub-brand for the automaker. Joining the evolving line of Audi BEVs in 2021, the Audi Q4 e-tron joined the lineup to serve as the brand's electric entry point. Riding on the same MEB architecture that underpins its more cost-conscious Volkswagen counterpart, the Q4 e-tron packs a single electric drive module in the front, or an electric drive module at both axles. Unlike the Volkswagen ID.4, the Q4 e-tron only packs an 82 kWh battery pack. For '25, the team at Audi updated the powertrains for the Q4 e-tron, with more power heading to the renamed Q4 e-tron 45 and the Q4 e-tron 55. The all-wheel-drive, top-flight Q4 e-trong 55 now sends 335 hp to the pavement through its pair of electric drive motors. According to the EPA, this Audi is good for 258 miles per charge.    On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the '25 Audi Q4 e-tron 55 and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the Q4 e-tron to highlight some of his favorite features and relay what it's like in the real world. Later in the show, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the '25 Audi Q4 e-tron, battery-electric vehicles in Michigan, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the Q4 e-tron special.
