Large storms always start with small disturbances. All we need is for a few small wind turbulences to align, and they turn into havoc pretty quickly. The same is the case with bushfires. All it takes is a careless spark, followed by inflammable material, then dry stuff (also called more inflammable...

Electric mobility is expensive because we are at the start of the journey. Scaling up takes time. At the same time, we are competing against a mature technology that has had more than a century to streamline its efforts, optimise costs, and drive up scale.

Greetings and welcome back to the InsightEV Weekender. Here, I like to focus on things we did not cover during the week. Stark Shows What is Possible ...when you do things right, that is.

The world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, with an estimated 35% share of the global two-wheeler market, had just started taking baby steps when it came to electrification. Was Honda deliberately slow? Was the company's strategy so grand that...
At InsightEV, we like to maintain a running account of the financials of every publicly traded E2W manufacturer. We do the same for Ola Electric. It provides an easy historical reference for the company's journey over the last many quarters. The Numbers have all changed... However, Ola's financial numbers reported today have...
