Xiaomi launched a new entry-level YU7 “Standard Edition” today priced at RMB 233,500 (~$32,400) — undercutting the Tesla Model Y by RMB 30,000 ($4,350) while delivering 643 km of range versus the Model Y’s 593 km. CEO Lei Jun admitted onstage that the original YU7’s pricing was “not competitive enough” against Tesla, with only a RMB 10,000 (~$1,450) gap. The company also unveiled the 1,003-HP YU7 GT, which shattered the Nürburgring SUV record by 14 seconds. more…

Hydrogen is no longer being pitched merely as a clean-energy alternative. At one of the world’s largest hydrogen industry gatherings this week in the Netherlands, Hyundai Motor Group argued that the fuel is emerging as a strategic answer to growing instability in global energy supply chains. The Korean automaker said Thursday it participated in the World Hydrogen Summit 2026, held from Monday to Thursday at the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre in Rotterdam, where government officials and business leaders gathered to discuss the future of the hydrogen economy. Hyundai Motor Group hosted an exhibition booth centered on HTWO, the company’s hydrogen brand and business platform, displaying a mockup hydrogen fuel cell system and the all-new NEXO hydrogen-powered sport utility vehicle. The company said the next-generation NEXO is equipped with a 150-kilowatt motor capable of accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.8 seconds. The vehicle can travel up to 720 kilometers on a

OCI Holdings, the green energy and chemical conglomerate best known for producing polysilicon for solar panels, is expanding its footprint in the North American power grid. The company said Wednesday that its Houston-based subsidiary, OCI Energy, has broken ground on a major utility-scale battery storage project in Bexar County, Texas, amid a broader corporate push into the North American renewable energy market. The project, dubbed Alamo City, is being developed in partnership with San Antonio’s municipal utility, CPS Energy. Spanning a 140,000-square-meter site, the facility will boast an output capacity of 120 megawatts and a storage capacity of 480 megawatt-hours, making it one of the more significant grid-balancing installations in the region. Scheduled to begin commercial operations in 2027, the installation is engineered to discharge up to four hours of continuous backup electricity during peak demand periods — enough to supply roughly 30,000 households in the San Antonio

POSCO Future M said Wednesday it has secured mass production technology for silicon anode materials, a next-generation battery component seen as critical to extending electric vehicle driving range and cutting charging times. The company said the breakthrough positions it to move aggressively into the premium EV market, where automakers are increasingly demanding higher energy density and faster charging performance. Silicon anode materials can store more than four times the energy of conventional graphite-based anodes, making them one of the industry’s most closely watched battery technologies. POSCO Future M said its newly developed material maintained more than 80 percent of its original capacity after 1,000 charge-discharge cycles, even when silicon content exceeded 20 percent in testing. That marks a significant improvement over existing batteries, where silicon mixing ratios have largely remained in the single digits because of stability concerns. For years, silicon anodes have

arXiv:2605.17867v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing penetration of renewable energy necessitates improved power system flexibility, driving the deployment of independent energy storage operators (ESOs). Existing research extensively investigates capacity sizing for price-taker storage systems or the operational coordination of aggregated distributed resources, lacking the joint optimization of capacity planning and multi-market bidding for a price-maker ESO with hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that preserves the technological heterogeneity of the integrated components. We propose a bi-level optimization framework to jointly optimize profit-oriented decisions on capacity and multi-market operation. The upper-level problem determines the optimal capacities of two heterogeneous storage systems while coordinating their bidding across day-ahead joint energy-reserve and real-time balancing markets. The lower-level problems represent market clearing of the system operator

arXiv:2605.18046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rapid electric vehicle (EV) expansion necessitates optimized charging infrastructure to bridge the persistent gaps between vehicle growth and charger availability. This study develops a demand-driven framework for city-scale EV charging demand assessment and charging pile capacity planning. It employs a bottom-up estimation approach to quantify electricity demand and a Harris Hawks Optimization algorithm to solve capacity planning challenges, capturing spatiotemporal demand variations across powertrain types and guiding allocation over 2022-2030 in Chongqing, China. The results show that (1) compared with June 2022, monthly EV electricity consumption tripled to 57.5 gigawatt-hours by the end of 2024, characterized by significant seasonal volatility and a structural shift in which the combined share of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and extended-range electric vehicles reached 57.6%, necessitating a transition toward technology-specific
