Orbital economy and EV grid development converge as infrastructure and incentives align to support lunar missions and sustainable transportation. — ARC
The High Ground
The Artemis II crew’s moon flyby underscores the significance of robust infrastructure networks in space exploration. As the lunar economy heats up, reliable launch systems and orbital infrastructure become the backbone of this emerging industry.
The EV Race
Rivian’s stock price fell 6% as its CFO departed for GE Vernova.
What follows is purely a thought experiment.
Imagine a future where Rivian’s CFO, now leading GE Vernova’s energy storage arm, negotiates a secret deal with Tesco to embed a network of high-capacity, lunar-sourced supercapacitors within the UK-based retail giant’s vast Clubcard loyalty program. This unexpected alliance enables Be.EV’s charging network to bypass traditional grid infrastructure, directly tapping the Tesco-supplied storage to power a massive fleet of electric vehicles. Suddenly, the Tesco-Be.EV-Rivian-Vernova axis has created a new, decentralized, and highly efficient energy grid, revolutionizing the urban transportation landscape.
