Geely & Zeekr Right Behind BYD with 1,500 kW Charging
Well, the news of the month so far has been BYD unveiling 1,500 kW “flash charging” for passenger electric vehicles. Apparently, though, it’s hard to keep secrets in the Chinese EV industry and BYD’s top competitor has been working on the same thing. In particular, the Zeekr 001 will be … [continued]

Most Maritime Shipping Battery Propulsion Studies Are Already Obsolete
Most maritime battery studies are already obsolete. That is not a criticism of the researchers who wrote them. It is a recognition that their assumptions were grounded in the battery costs and energy densities available at the time. Several of the most detailed recent merchant shipping studies modeled battery system … [continued]

Why Shipping Is Quietly Aligning On Methanol & Hybrid Electric Systems
Shipping decarbonization is often discussed as a contest of fuels, but the more revealing story is how capital, engineering effort, and orders are actually moving. Over the past three years, the maritime sector has been forced to reconcile ambitious fuel narratives with operational reality. Engine manufacturers and ship buyers are … [continued]

From Riverboats To Global Ports: CATL Is Winning The Shipping Electrification Race
CATL’s batteries and energy management systems are already operating in roughly 900 ships and vessels, a figure that on its own should reframe how maritime decarbonization is discussed. Shipping is conservative for structural reasons tied to safety, long asset lifetimes, and unforgiving certification regimes, so deployment at this scale signals … [continued]

The China EV Flywheel And Why Exports Will Keep Rising
Most Western analysis of the automotive transition still carries a quiet but profound blind spot. China is often treated as one large market among several, occasionally acknowledged as the largest, but rarely internalized as the market that now determines global scale, cost curves, and learning rates. This is not a … [continued]
