General Motors took a massive charge as EV tax credit uncertainty and changing federal policy made their electrification roadmap obsolete faster than it was written. Meanwhile, China's tightening battery oversight and Brussels Motor Show reveals suggest the real competition isn't about horsepower anymore—it's about who can survive the regulatory gauntlet.

ElectricFish built a DC fast charger that delivers 400 kW without needing expensive utility infrastructure overhauls. If this actually scales, it solves one of EV adoption's real problems—not the car, the charging. The catch: adoption depends on whether installers and networks actually deploy it instead of the usual incumbent politics.
