US Senate votes to block California 2035 electric vehicle rules

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted to bar California's landmark plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 that has been adopted by 11 other states representing a third of the U.S. auto market. The vote sends to President Donald Trump the measure to repeal a waiver granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under former President Joe Biden in December, allowing California to mandate at least 80% electric vehicles by 2035. The vote is a win for General Motors, Toyota and other automakers that heavily lobbied against the rules and a blow to California and environmental groups that say the requires are essential to ensuring cleaner vehicles.

Groundbreaking new battery design will make EVs much lighter

New structural batteries could power the future of EV innovation by making better, lighter batteries a part of the car's chassis.
The article from BGR discusses a groundbreaking new battery design developed by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, which promises to make electric vehicles (EVs) significantly lighter and more efficient. The innovative approach involves using a solid-state electrolyte made from a polymer composite, which not only enhances the battery's energy density but also reduces its weight by up to 50% compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. This advancement could potentially increase the driving range of EVs and decrease charging times, addressing two major consumer concerns. The researchers are optimistic about scaling up the technology for commercial use, which could revolutionize the EV market and contribute to broader adoption of sustainable transportation solutions.
