Great Wall Motor has been particularly vocal against BYD, accusing the latter of unfair pricing tactics and reporting BYD to Chinese regulators over alleged emissions standard violations related to two of BYD’s popular hybrid models. Great Wall claims these models used non-pressurized fuel tanks, leading to quicker fuel evaporation, and Geely has publicly supported Great Wall’s stance. In response to the escalating price war and regulatory concerns, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) reportedly intervened by convening a special meeting with automakers to call for an end to the price battles. The ongoing conflict has also triggered a selloff in Chinese automaker stocks, reflecting market unease. The article raises the question of how much of the price decline in the Chinese EV sector is due to aggressive price cutting versus natural cost reductions driven by technological innovation, economies of scale, and industry maturation. While Geely and Great Wall see the price war as harmful and artificial, BYD argues that its competitive pricing stems from faster innovation and better consumer responsiveness. The situation remains fluid, with industry watchers awaiting further developments.

  • Dissolvable battery developed, generates electricity for over 100 mins

    Researchers at Binghamton University have developed a dissolvable battery powered by probiotics—live microorganisms commonly found in yogurt and health supplements—that can generate electricity for over 100 minutes before harmlessly dissolving into the environment. This innovation addresses a major challenge in transient or bioresorbable electronics, which require power sources that disintegrate without leaving toxic residues. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, which contain harmful materials, this biobattery uses a 15-strain probiotic blend on water-soluble or pH-responsive substrates, enabling controlled power delivery ranging from 4 minutes to over 100 minutes. A single module produces 4 µW of power, 47 µA of current, and an open-circuit voltage of 0.65 V. The research team, led by faculty member Choi from the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science, drew on two decades of work on disposable “papertronics” and biobatteries. They engineered porous, polymer- and nanoparticle-enhanced electrodes to optimize the electrogenic capability of the probiotics, ensuring safe and efficient electricity generation. This breakthrough paves the way for new applications in biomedical implants, environmental sensors, and disposable electronics that require safe, transient power sources. The study highlights the potential for bioenergy systems that dissolve without environmental harm, fulfilling a vision similar to the self-destructing devices popularized in fiction like the Mission: Impossible films.

  • German Car Industry Demands the EU Guts Its CO2 Law, Despite Climate Consequences - CleanTechnica

    The German car industry, represented by the VDA, is pushing the European Union to weaken its 2035 climate target for vehicle emissions, seeking exemptions for plug-in hybrids and incentives for low-carbon fuels. This comes after the industry previously opposed the 2025 EU target despite rising electric vehicle (EV) sales in Germany. If the EU accedes to these demands, carbon emissions from cars in Europe could increase by 0.5 to 1.4 gigatons, up to 31% more than current targets, according to Transport & Environment (T&E) analysis. T&E criticizes the industry’s proposal as a strategic move to undermine the EU’s climate goals, warning it would reduce battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales to between 44% and 69% by 2035, far below the current 100% target. This rollback would damage market certainty and investor confidence, particularly in battery and charging infrastructure, hindering Europe’s efforts to build resilience in the EV sector. T&E emphasizes that the global automotive market is moving toward electrification regardless, and weakening the EU’s standards risks leaving its auto industry behind. The EU Commission is currently under pressure to review the 2035 law earlier than planned, following a delay in the 2025 target.

  • Hating on Tesla vs. Objective Realism - CleanTechnica

    The article from CleanTechnica reflects on Tesla's evolving trajectory over the past 13 years, highlighting a shift from its early days of visionary growth to recent challenges. Initially, Tesla experienced rapid expansion fueled by strong consumer demand for affordable, long-range electric vehicles like the Model 3 and Model Y, validating early optimistic coverage despite widespread skepticism. However, in recent years, Tesla's sales growth has stalled and even declined, with increasing competition eroding its market share. The article notes that Tesla fans often rationalize these setbacks with hopes for future breakthroughs, but the current reality suggests a departure from Tesla’s original growth story. Additionally, the article discusses Elon Musk’s increasingly controversial political involvement, which has alienated various groups, including both critics and some supporters. Musk’s public behavior and focus have shifted significantly compared to a decade ago, raising questions about his leadership and the company’s direction. While some remain hopeful about Tesla’s potential in emerging sectors like robotaxis, AI, and robotics, these represent a significant departure from Tesla’s initial business plan and require a leap of faith. The article emphasizes the importance of objective realism, acknowledging that Tesla and Musk have changed, and that recognizing current challenges is not hatred but a necessary assessment of the company’s status.

  • Jony Ive’s LoveFrom helped design Rivian’s first electric bike

    LoveFrom, the creative firm founded by former Apple chief designer Jony Ive, collaborated with Rivian on the development of the electric bike that marks Rivian’s first entry into micromobility. Over approximately 18 months, LoveFrom staff worked closely with Rivian’s design and engineering teams within a skunkworks program led by former Specialized executive Chris Yu. This secretive project, which began in early 2022, aimed to leverage Rivian’s EV technology to create a smaller, modular, and more affordable vehicle than its existing electric trucks and vans. LoveFrom’s involvement, starting in early 2023, focused on refining prototypes, user interface, user experience, and industrial design, bringing an interdisciplinary and international perspective to the product’s aesthetics and packaging. The skunkworks program eventually evolved into a startup called Also, backed by $105 million in funding from Eclipse Ventures and staffed by talent from Apple, Google, Tesla, and others. While details about the bike remain scarce, Rivian’s CEO RJ Scaringe described it as “bike-like” with basic components such as a seat, two wheels, a screen, computers, and a battery. Both Scaringe and Yu hinted at a broader vision for Also to explore various micromobility formats beyond the initial electric bike. The company plans to unveil its first designs later in 2024. LoveFrom’s collaboration with Rivian extends beyond this project, having previously consulted on Rivian’s infotainment system and retail experience, underscoring a close and ongoing relationship between the two firms.
