A New Independent EV and Renewable Energy News Website Launched in March 2026

nexusEVnews is an independent news aggregator dedicated to the electric vehicle revolution and the broader shift to renewable energy, a new venture founded by Jacob Hunka in March 2026. Hunka is a solopreneur, a one-person business.

The energy and transport transition is happening fast, and good information is scattered across YouTube channels, academic journals, auto publications and energy news outlets. nexusEVnews brings it together in one place.

nexusEVnews curates the day’s most important EV and clean energy stories, adding original editorial summaries and weekly opinion pieces. Categories include electric vehicles, battery technology, solar and renewables, charging infrastructure, policy, and deep-dive content worth reading slowly.

Hunka spent years working in Boulder Colorado, building a career that was steady but never quite his passion. Recently, Hunka decided to move from Colorado to Italy. The move to Italy was intentional, a chance to slow down and figure out what actually mattered. nexusEVnews grew out of that space, built from scratch as a solo project with no outside funding, no team, and no template to follow.

Jacob brings a personal connection to the subject. His vehicle ownership history runs from a 1978 Camaro Z28 and a Ducati Scrambler to a Rivian R1T and Audi e-tron GT.

“I didn’t start nexusEVnews to build a media company. I moved to Italy to get my life back, and this site is what happened when I finally had the time and headspace to build something I actually cared about. EVs are where I’ve been putting my money for years. Now I’m putting my words there too,” said Hunka.

The site is built and maintained entirely by Hunka, with every editorial decision and curated summary his own. Updated daily, the site currently covers eight content categories and features a mix of curated video content, linked articles from major automotive and energy publications, and original long-form opinion pieces. Early opinion pieces have tackled EV energy efficiency and the thermodynamics of internal combustion engines.

The editorial approach is deliberately different from traditional EV news sites. Rather than republishing wire copy or aggregating headlines, Hunka writes original summaries for every piece of content on the site, adding context, editorial framing, and occasionally a point of view.

“I want someone to land on nexusEVnews and feel like a knowledgeable friend sorted through everything that happened today and pulled out what actually matters,” he says. “Not a feed. Not an algorithm. A person.”

The site is accompanied by Nexus Current, a weekly newsletter on Beehiiv covering the week’s most important stories in EVs and clean energy, written in the same voice as the site and going out to subscribers every week.

Looking ahead, Hunka has a simple dream for where nexusEVnews could go. “Every kid who ever loved cars wanted to be the person who got to drive them all and tell people what they thought,” he says. “That’s still my dream. I’d love for nexusEVnews to get to a point where I’m reviewing EVs firsthand and bringing that experience directly to readers. It’s probably a few years away, but it’s what I’m building toward.”
