Predicting the Electric Vehicle Adoption Curve
Regular commenter BreathOnTheWind sent me this piece on the rise of electric transportation, and how this phenomenon will disempower OPEC. Can’t happen soon enough. My only objection (a point I’ve made dozens of times) is the forecasted perfectly smooth …

Key Automotive Trends
In this week’s edition of “Green Auto Digest,” my colleague Jon LeSage covers the “nexus” between electric and autonomous vehicles. That such a phenomenon actually exists is certainly good news, as it will accelerate the rate at which we can slowly …
