  1. 💰 US bill proposes new national EV tax, while some push to slash gas tax to zero

    「 The bill includes a provision for an annual tax on electric vehicles, set at $130/year for fully electric vehicles and $35/year for plug-in hybrids. Those taxes also get an automatic annual increase of $5/year (thats 14% for the PHEVs and 4% for the BEVs), up to a cap of $150 and $50 each 」

  2. BYD just dispatched its OWN carrier ship — the BYD Zhengzhou — loaded with 4,810 new energy vehicles heading straight to Australia!

    This is huge for green transport:
    ✅ First time a BYD-owned RoRo carrier delivers directly to Australia
    ✅ Loads of EVs & hybrids bound for Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane
    ✅ Cuts out middlemen, reduces shipping emissions
    ✅ BYD planning to ship 30,000 more NEVs to Aus soon
    ✅ Part of BYD's move to 1M vehicles/year shipping capacity by 2027

    Demand for EVs is exploding — companies are building their own green shipping fleets to keep up!

  8. "This is what makes the matter more than an abstract privacy concern: it has direct and measurable economic consequences. If your insurance goes up without you having had any accidents, if your risk profile deteriorates without you knowing why, the explanation may be in the on-board computer of your own car. Surveillance capitalism, which for years has operated primarily in the social media and e-commerce space, has found in the connected car a hugely profitable new territory, because it combines precise location data, physical behavior, everyday habits, and, in many cases, health data derived from biometric sensors. It is a mine of personal information that the user does not see, does not control and rarely perceives.

    The European regulatory framework offers, at least in theory, more protections than its US counterpart. The GDPR states that states that location and behavioral data are private and require a legal basis for processing. The European Data Protection Board published detailed guidelines on connected vehicles in 2021 that should serve as a reference for manufacturers operating in Europe, clearly stating that the processing of driving data requires a solid legal basis and that consent obtained through inaccessible general conditions does not meet the standards of the regulation.

    The EU’s 2023 Data Act also adds portability rights: the user should be able to access the data generated by their own vehicle and transfer it to third parties of their choice. But there is a considerable gap between the text of the regulations and their effective implementation, and manufacturers have proven to be very creative in designing consent mechanisms that comply with the law to the letter, while emptying it of real content.

    Users still have some recourse, but not much. Most connected cars have privacy settings that their owners have never explored — they’re worth looking for and turning on."
