- Quick Charge reports Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet fell to single‑digit numbers in May, according to new data.
- Quick Charge notes a Chinese electric SUV with a semi‑solid‑state battery is now in production for under $15,000.
- Quick Charge cites EIA data that U.S. wind and solar installed capacity will outpace natural‑gas generation by 2027.
- Quick Charge reports Pine Point Schools opened a 2.7 MWh microgrid project.
Why it matters: Tesla loses potential robotaxi revenue as its fleet contracts, Chinese EV makers gain market share with sub‑$15k models, and U.S. utilities benefit from cheaper wind‑solar power that will eclipse natural gas by 2027, cutting emissions and lowering electricity costs.
