London, August 22, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––US President Donald Trump has reignited his rhetoric on renewable energy, branding wind and solar power the ‘SCAM OF THE CENTURY’ in a fiery Truth Social post and vowed to ban all federal approvals for such projects if he secures another term in office. ‘We will not approve wind or farmer-destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!’ Trump declared, escalating his long-standing criticism of green energy as costly, inefficient, and damaging to rural communities. The Trump administration has already begun tightening federal permitting for renewable energy projects.
According to an internal memo obtained by POLITICO, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum now holds final authority over approvals. This shift has alarmed clean energy developers, who fear their projects could face indefinite delays. Trump’s aggressive stance has sparked concern across various sectors, including state governments, energy developers, and legal analysts. Read More
Norway has made one of its biggest North Sea oil discoveries in a decade, heightening scrutiny on Ed Miliband’s decision to end Britain’s fossil fuel exploration in the area. Oil field operator Aker BP uncovered a field that could yield the equivalent of 134 million barrels of oil in an area thought to have already been fully explored. The find was made in the Yggdrasil field, an area of the Norwegian North Sea close and geologically similar to that of the UK sector. Read More
Egypt quietly inked agreements to import up to 160 cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through 2026. The massive deal, worth over $8 billion, involves major gobal energy firms including Aramaco, Shell, Vitol, Trafigura, BGN, SOCAR, and PetroChina. On paper, it’s just a commercial transaction, albeit a very large one. But behind the scenes, the move is a signal of just how far the region’s most populous country has veered from its once touted energy self-sufficiency. In 2018, Cairo was exporting gas. Today, it’s a net importer and amid the current regional climate, that is a precarious position to be in. While Egypt has reverted to importing gas, the UAE is building out production, transportation and storage infrastructure and proving to the region, and world that its natural gas operations are a force to be reckoned with.

Overall satisfaction with the customer service experience among new energy vehicle (NEV) owners in China is 775 points (on a 1,000-point scale), according to the inaugural J.D. Power China New Energy Vehicle Customer Service Index (NEV-CSI) Study,SM released today. By brand category, overall satisfaction is nearly identical—776 for premium brands, 775 for mass market brands and 774 for domestic brands. In 2025, NEV after-sales service in China shows a clear “regional inversion” as satisfaction scores are inversely correlated with city tier, with Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities scoring 18 points lower than in Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities. This is driven by higher customer expectations in major cities—meaning that even when the same level of service is provided, satisfaction tends to be lower and any gap between expectations and delivery results in sharper declines.
The study evaluates the customer service experience of NEV owners between two and 24 months of ownership. Index scores are based on measurements across six categories: customer service; customer equity; energy service; service initiation; service reception; and service quality. The study also includes trending topics in the NEV industry, such as credits, charging/refueling options, digital services and flexible service models that provide NEV manufacturers with deeper insight into customers’ priorities, current experiences and unmet needs in after-sales service.
The study finds that in 2025, usage of mobile onsite service rises to 32.3%, up 12.4 percentage points from 2024.[1] This model turns low-frequency maintenance scenarios into high-value, high-frequency customer touchpoints—customers who use mobile service have spent, on average, RMB 591 more on after-sales in the past year (excluding prepaid service packages) than those who do not. For automakers, mobile service should be treated as a strategic core offering rather than a peripheral add-on, with continuous investment in coverage, response speed, technician capability and standardized processes. The industry has now entered the second half of the NEV era, in which service experience is a core competitive differentiator. In this environment, expectation management must become central to service design. Automakers should segment customers and tailor service models to expectation profiles while also using mobile on-site service to capture fragmented customer time and thereby convert it into commercial value.

Power has supported automakers in understanding user experiences across more than 100 new technologies, demonstrating a commitment to advancing automotive innovation through consumer insights. The J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study,SM released today, enhances these insights with the addition of a smart vehicle category that highlights the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in vehicles.
The study, now in its 10th year, includes a new category that includes seven AI-based technologies designed to enhance the driver experience by anticipating their needs. Several smart technologies, including smart ignition, climate control and driver preferences, rank among the top 10 in the study for both low problems experienced and high customer satisfaction.. Following are some key findings of the 2025 study:
Smart technologies can improve vehicle quality and satisfaction scores: Certain smart technologies are beginning to positively affect initial vehicle quality scores. For instance, smart climate control systems—which can automatically adjust the vehicle’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system to improve comfort and efficiency—have shown a notable improvement year over year in user experience, with a reported drop of 6.3 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), according to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS).SM This reduction in issues has also driven higher satisfaction in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM among users who have this feature. This offers a much-needed workaround to address the increasing complexity of climate controls being migrated into the infotainment system. . Read More
How an EV battery works
If you’ve heard anything about EV batteries, you’ve probably heard the term “lithium-ion.” Today, lithium-ion batteries are the standard for most EVs. And you don’t need to be a master chemist to understand how these batteries work.
The process can be boiled down to something as simple as a game of tag. In this game of tag, the objective is simple: lithium ions and electrons (our players in this game) are trying to reunite. As they run after each other, they generate energy to power your vehicle.
Game Setup:
When you peel open a battery cell, you’ll see something that looks like a stack of papers. These are called electrodes. If we zoom into a few of these layers, you’ll witness how the game is set up – like two fields of play with a fence dividing them. The key sections are:
The Anode – the starting playing field for lithium ions and electrons
The Cathode – the destination playing field
The Separator – a fence that the electrons can’t naturally cross
The Terminals – the gates that the electrons use to leave and re-enter the cell
Before the game begins (when your EV is fully charged), all the particles wait at the anode, getting ready to play. Without getting too deep into the physics, the electrons and lithium ions that start in the anode of a battery cell spontaneously want to move to the cathode because that will lower the potential energy – and nature favors moving toward lower energy (much like gravity naturally causes objects to move downhill).
Rules of the Game: Drive Mode
You turn on your car, signaling the start of the game
The negatively charged electrons start moving to the positively charged cathode. Remember, they can’t move through the separator (our fence), so they travel outside the cell through the car’s wiring using the terminals (our gate).
As electrons race through the wiring, they create electricity—lighting up your dashboard, spinning the wheels, and keeping everything powered.
As the electrons move to the cathode, the positively-charged lithium ions work to try and catch up – balancing the electrons’ negative charge. However, the lithium ions have a much easier route; they are naturally able to just slip through the separator. Think of a crafty player in this game of tag finding a way to sneak through the fence.
Electrons and lithium ions have ended up in the cathode, where they come together in a process called intercalation, and the game is over.
Next Level: Recharge Mode
Once all the players reach the cathode, your battery is out of usable energy and the players rest together. But unlike your old AA batteries, EV batteries are rechargeable, getting you right back to square one. Read More
