Enjoyed the International EV Policy & Research Network Meeting at GWU, adjacent to the TRB Annual Mtg! Great discussions on zero-emissions transportation!
🚀 New pub launched with former student & U-Macao colleagues. We find decarbonization efforts ignoring heat wave health risks could raise social costs. Then we show how to optimize power grid decarbonization for heat waves. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...
1y since my parents' house burned in the Altadena wildfires. @SoCalGas offers appliance rebates for victims but demands install by 12/31/25. Nearly 0 homes are rebuilt. This deadline is unrealistic. @SoCalGas claims to support victims but excludes them through fine print. Not ok.
Ford's cancellation of the F-150 Lightning is a bummer for EV enthusiasts. Was Toyota correct all along with their "1:6:90 rule"? That is, for every 1 EV, you can build 6 PHEVs or 90 HEVs with equal raw materials. What do you think? www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-...
Very proud of former @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social 🐻 & alum Fernando Mendoza for winning the Heisman. He did everything the right way: hard work, gracious, and took nothing for granted. 💙 💛 🧸 Watch his speech: www.espn.com/college-foot...
2) I propose renaming FSD to GSD. It's still not FULLY (L4/L5) self-driving. However, the rainbows are super-fun. It's definitely gay self-driving, and I love it. Tesla GSD 🌈⚡🚗
After 1 week using Tesla FSD (supervised) v14.2.1, I have TWO thoughts:
1) It's truly AMAZING. After not using FSD for ~9 months, the improvement is remarkable. It feels like maturing from a teenage driver to a professional Uber driver.
LOL.
📣 NEW PUB ALERT: This was a fun collab with Toyota Research Institute, led by recent PhD grad Ruiting Wang. We utilize demographic, commuting, and charging infra datasets to determine the placement of NEW charging station, using various *fairness* metrics. 🚗 ⚡ doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

I will present "Extending Battery Pack Life by UN-balancing cells" on Monday at the Advanced Battery Management Workshop in Denver, CO. Unbalancing seems heretic! But consider SOH balancing vs. SOC balancing 🤔🔋🪫 acc2025-batteryworkshop.github.io
Check out Part 2 of Dr. Steve Shladover's interview on the IMPACT of self-driving cars 🤖 🚗 @berkeleyits.bsky.social www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Conversations about disseminating research
❗New pub ALERT: "Electrifying Heavy-Duty Trucks: Battery-Swapping vs Fast Charging." 🚚 🔋 🔌 The Biden administration (and California) pushed for DC fast charging infra. Does choosing the tech leave better solutions behind? Find out more: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/110...
How much money do you REALLY save with an EV? I provide comments in the SF Chronicle here: www.sfchronicle.com/personal-fin...
It's hard-breaking 💔 to have former students visit my office, looking for hope, after being abruptly laid off by US Dept of Energy. These students, btw, are often U.S. born and top admits to UC Berkeley.
Excited for "Powering the Future: Public-Private Partnerships at the Intersection of Mobility, Autonomy, and AI", hosted by Berkeley ITS and Haas. Speakers from Google, Waymo, @usdot.bsky.social, @innovationhub.bsky.social, and more! 🤖 🚗 conta.cc/4cV6aeM
