Mercedes-Benz has put a paywall on EV performance, requiring extra cost to unlock the full potential of its all-electric sports cars. You can imagine this won't go over well with environmentalists pushing for automakers to give the push to switch to all EVs all they've got in time to mitigate climate change, and it's not going to impress auto enthusiasts much either.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
