The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) analysis suggests explosive EV sales growth partly because of acceleration of EV sales in "late-adopting" countries with robust new car sales.

The latest stretch for Toyota marketing sees hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles all becoming different types of EVs. Which is which?

Based on updates given to the European-market version, the 2025 Audi Q4 E-Tron is likely to charge quicker and offer more range, while new steering and suspension tuning may give it a sportier edge.

Jaguar vehicles will have access to Tesla Supercharger stations, and next-generation EVs set to launch in 2025 will have the NACS port, with no need to use an adapter, for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The harmonized standard is claimed to be back-compatible with both CHAdeMO and CCS, while it offers high-power charging up to 1.2 megawatts.

Climate effects aside, automakers are now also reportedly concerned that a delay of the EV mandate will upset future plans, and the rebound of auto manufacturing in the U.K. post-Brexit.

Volvo, which hasn't for decades sold diesels in the U.S., says that the majority of its sales in Europe are now made up of EVs and plug-in hybrids.

For EV drivers concerned about battery degradation, a few key decisions about how they park, charge, and even which battery they choose can help their car fare better over the long run.

Tesla also reported in September it has reached 50,000 Superchargers globally, maintaining its position as the top global fast-charging network.

Stellantis is recalling plug-in hybrids from Dodge and Alfa Romeo. The federal government is setting aside $100M to replace unreliable chargers. And we drive the Kia EV9. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. In a first drive of the 2024 Kia EV9, in prototype form, Green Car Reports found this...

The program for charger reliability and accessibility is new, but it comes from infrastructure law funding—and it should go a long way toward replacing chargers that don't work.

Until the recall is addressed the automaker advises both of these plug-in hybrids be parked away from structures—so they might not be able to use their 33 electric miles as often.

A first test drive of an EV9 prototype showed that solid performance, a comfortable ride, a spacious three-row interior, and game-changing features like bidirectional charging add up to what the market wants and needs.
