Evan Knight+FollowChinese EVs: Are We Missing Out?Chinese electric cars like BYD and Geely are taking over the world with their low prices and cool tech, but Americans are stuck watching from the sidelines. Canada and Mexico are already getting in on the action, while U.S. tariffs and tech restrictions keep these EVs out. The twist? Chinese automakers are plotting ways to sneak in, but the versions we’d get might lose their special sauce. Would you buy a Chinese EV if it finally hit U.S. roads? #Cars #EVs #ChineseCars12Share
dalemiller+FollowEVs: Cheaper or Just a Wallet Trap?Ever get into a heated debate about whether electric cars actually save you money? Here’s the tea: EVs are way cheaper day-to-day—think less on gas and barely any maintenance. But, if you keep your car forever, those scary battery replacement costs and pricey repairs can sneak up. Basically, if you drive a lot and swap cars every few years, EVs are a win. Long-term? It’s a gamble. Would you risk it? #Cars #ElectricCars #EVs00Share
Susan Moreno+FollowSolid-State Batteries: The Next EV Gamechanger?Heads up, EV fans: Volvo’s parent company Geely is about to roll out its first solid-state battery packs for test cars this year. Why does this matter? Solid-state batteries could mean faster charging, longer range, and safer rides—think fewer charging stops on your next road trip. While you can’t buy one just yet, this tech could soon power brands like Volvo, Lotus, and more. Watch this space for the next big leap in electric cars! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #EVs00Share
dalemiller+FollowToyota’s EV Split: US Gets Left Out?Toyota’s playing both sides in the car game—doubling down on hybrids and gas engines in the US, while China gets the real EV action. Their new GR GT V8 hybrid supercar is proof they’re not ditching engines anytime soon. Meanwhile, China’s getting cool, affordable electric SUVs and sedans we can only dream about. Is Toyota’s ‘everything’ strategy genius or just expensive? Either way, the US isn’t getting the good stuff! #Cars #Toyota #EVs00Share
dalemiller+FollowEV Sales Crash in the U.S.—But Not EverywhereFord and GM just slashed $27 billion from their EV plans after U.S. sales tanked when tax credits disappeared—down 36% in one quarter! But here’s the twist: global EV sales are booming, especially in China and Europe. Meanwhile, GM quietly became America’s #2 EV seller, and with Tesla’s rep taking a hit, they could snag even more buyers. Are Ford and GM making a huge mistake by doubling down on gas guzzlers while the rest of the world goes electric? #Cars #EVs #ElectricVehicles21Share
Brittany Phillips+FollowDid Finland Just Solve EV Battery Anxiety?A Finnish startup claims it’s built the battery everyone’s been chasing: a solid-state cell that charges in five minutes, lasts for decades, and could flip the entire electric vehicle market. But is this the real deal or just another bold promise? With giants like Toyota still years away, can a nimble outsider really leapfrog the industry? Let’s dig into the hype vs. reality—would you trust your next car to a battery breakthrough this big? #Tech #EVs #BatteryTech00Share
Brooke Martin+FollowThe $1.5 Trillion 'White Gold' Find: What It Means for Your Next CarCoffee break scoop: A mining company just struck what could be the world’s biggest lithium stash in the US—think $1.5 trillion worth! Why care? Lithium is the secret sauce in EV batteries, so this could mean cheaper, longer-range electric cars in the future. Plus, it might break up the old supply chain bottlenecks, making EVs more affordable and less dependent on imports. Your next car might be powered by this American ‘white gold.’ #Business #Industry #EVs00Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowNorway’s Big Find Could Make EVs CheaperCoffee break scoop: Norway just hit the jackpot with a massive phosphate discovery—enough to power electric cars and solar panels for the next 50 years! Why does this matter? Phosphate is key for the batteries in EVs and solar systems. With this new supply, we could see prices drop and less reliance on countries like China and Russia. So, your next car or home solar setup might get a lot more affordable, thanks to this underground treasure! #Business #Industry #EVs40Share
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
