President Biden’s climate plan, potential EV updates expected to be announced Thursday
President Joe Biden is expected to pledge to halve the United States’ emission of greenhouse gases by 2030 on Thursday. Biden, along with 40 world leaders at a virtual summit, will discuss the potential plans to reduce greenhouse gases by at least half through several different methods. One is the President’s plan to increase the proficiency and utilization of electric vehicles in both consumer and government sectors, a plan that could pay dividends to several automakers as EVs begin to become a more popular mode of transportation. Biden has spoken highly of EVs and their contribution to slicing greenhouse gas emissions, and new updates could be announced as early as Thursday.
According to the Washington Post, Biden could announce plans to halve greenhouse gases by 2030. The plan will be set forward by monumental changes in the United States’ infrastructure, including transportation and energy, which have long been dominated by oil, coal, and other fossil fuels. These sources of energy have contributed to an increase in greenhouse gases, which have, in turn, contributed to the issue of global climate change. The Summit is expected to last through Friday and will have several prominent world leaders in attendance. China announced earlier today that President Xi Jinping would be in attendance. China is the largest contributor to CO2 emissions, according to the EPA.
Biden’s plans have been evident since the day he took office as the President. One of the most popular issues at hand, climate change, was among the President’s most important issues, along with handling the COVID-19 pandemic. However, halving the U.S. emissions by 50% is a lofty target, especially in just nine years. It will take strong incentives and standards to convince individuals, private sectors, and others to adopt the changes as well, and it isn’t going to be easy.
However, Biden’s entrance into office has brought along a new sense of energy regarding the environmental concerns that the world faces. Many consumers have been highly interested in Biden’s potential reintroduction of the EV tax credit, which would give those who purchase an electric vehicle a credit for buying an environmentally-friendly car. The amount of the credit has been speculated heavily, but it seems it will be somewhere between $7,000 and $10,000. Biden has also announced plans to electrify the government fleet, including the U.S. Postal Service vehicles.

The EV tax credit was introduced and is still active for automakers that sell less than 200,000 units per year. This disqualifies large automakers who sell substantial units of EVs, including Tesla and GM. Other legacy automakers, like Ford, are still rolling out initial EV plans but are making conscious efforts to transition away from combustion engines and toward electrification.
The event will also take place on Earth Day, the annual celebration of the planet and a day to support environmental protection. Hopefully, President Biden’s long-term climate plans will bring light to what the U.S. must do to combat climate change, which can be accomplished through a calculated plan that outlines specific goals that would incentivize Earth-friendly actions.

Starlink achieves major milestones in 2025 progress report
Starlink wrapped up 2025 with impressive growth, adding more than 4.6 million new active customers and expanding service to 35 additional countries, territories, and markets.
Starlink wrapped up 2025 with impressive growth, adding more than 4.6 million new active customers and expanding service to 35 additional countries, territories, and markets. The company also completed deployment of its first-generation Direct to Cell constellation, launching over 650 satellites in just 18 months to enable cellular connectivity.
SpaceX highlighted Starlink’s impressive 2025 progress in an extensive report.
Key achievements from Starlink’s 2025 Progress
Starlink connected over 4.6 million new customers with high-speed internet while bringing service to 35 more regions worldwide in 2025. Starlink is now connecting 9.2 million people worldwide. The service achieved this just weeks after hitting its 8 million customer milestone.
Starlink is now available in 155 markets, including areas that are unreachable by traditional ISPs. As per SpaceX, Starlink has also provided over 21 million airline passengers and 20 million cruise passengers with reliable high-speed internet connectivity during their travels.
Starlink Direct to Cell
Starlink’s Direct to Cell constellation, more than 650 satellites strong, has already connected over 12 million people at least once, marking a breakthrough in global mobile coverage.
Starlink Direct to Cell is currently rolled out to 22 countries and 6 continents, with over 6 million monthly customers. Starlink Direct to Cell also has 27 MNO partners to date.
“This year, SpaceX completed deployment of the first generation of the Starlink Direct to Cell constellation, with more than 650 satellites launched to low-Earth orbit in just 18 months. Starlink Direct to Cell has connected more than 12 million people, and counting, at least once, providing life-saving connectivity when people need it most,” SpaceX wrote.

Tesla Giga Nevada celebrates production of 6 millionth drive unit
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
Tesla’s Giga Nevada has reached an impressive milestone, producing its 6 millionth drive unit as 2925 came to a close.
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
6 million drive units
The achievement was shared by the official Tesla Manufacturing account on social media platform X. “Congratulations to the Giga Nevada team for producing their 6 millionth Drive Unit!” Tesla wrote.
The photo showed numerous factory workers assembled on the production floor, proudly holding golden balloons that spelled out “6000000″ in front of drive unit assembly stations. Elon Musk gave credit to the Giga Nevada team, writing, “Congrats on 6M drive units!” in a post on X.
Giga Nevada’s essential role
Giga Nevada produces drive units, battery packs, and energy products. The facility has been a cornerstone of Tesla’s scaling since opening, and it was the crucial facility that ultimately enabled Tesla to ramp the Model 3 and Model Y. Even today, it serves as Tesla’s core hub for battery and drivetrain components for vehicles that are produced in the United States.
Giga Nevada is expected to support Tesla’s ambitious 2026 targets, including the launch of vehicles like the Tesla Semi and the Cybercab. Tesla will have a very busy 2026, and based on Giga Nevada’s activities so far, it appears that the facility will be equally busy as well.

Tesla Supercharger network delivers record 6.7 TWh in 2025
The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets.
Tesla’s Supercharger Network had its biggest year ever in 2025, delivering a record 6.7 TWh of electricity to vehicles worldwide.
To celebrate its busy year, the official @TeslaCharging account shared an infographic showing the Supercharger Network’s growth from near-zero in 2012 to this year’s impressive milestone.
Record 6.7 TWh delivered in 2025
The bar chart shows steady Supercharger energy delivery increases since 2012. Based on the graphic, the Supercharger Network started small in the mid-2010s and accelerated sharply after 2019, when the Model 3 was going mainstream.
Each year from 2020 onward showed significantly more energy delivery, with 2025’s four quarters combining for the highest total yet at 6.7 TWh.
This energy powered millions of charging sessions across Tesla’s growing fleet of vehicles worldwide. The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets. This makes the Supercharger Network loved not just by Tesla owners but EV drivers as a whole.
Resilience after Supercharger team changes
2025’s record energy delivery comes despite earlier 2024 layoffs on the Supercharger team, which sparked concerns about the system’s expansion pace. Max de Zegher, Tesla Director of Charging North America, also highlighted that “Outside China, Superchargers delivered more energy than all other fast chargers combined.”
Longtime Tesla owner and FSD tester Whole Mars Catalog noted the achievement as proof of continued momentum post-layoffs. At the time of the Supercharger team’s layoffs in 2024, numerous critics were claiming that Elon Musk was halting the network’s expansion altogether, and that the team only remained because the adults in the room convinced the juvenile CEO to relent.
Such a scenario, at least based on the graphic posted by the Tesla Charging team on X, seems highly implausible.
