Which automaker is offering to buy back its recalled EVs? Which company was sentenced to a U.S. criminal penalty for diesel emissions this week? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending August 5, 2022. We warmed up to the weirdness...

BMW is thinking about making more fuel-cell cars—perhaps as an extension of its next-generation EVs. Payments have been made, and the 5,000-vehicle launch edition of the Fisker Ocean is already spoken for. And Toyota is going the extra mile with early owners of its BZ4X EV. This and more...

Hydrogen needs to be stored in cylindrical tanks, so it presents far greater packaging challenges than batteries.

Just 5,000 units of the Fisker Ocean One launch edition are planned, and customers already gave the company a $5,000 down payment for each one.

It's an alternate solution to a package of make-good perks that includes a $5,000 credit, an extended warranty, bonus fast-charging, and a free loaner vehicle with reimbursed fuel costs.

Standard/Pro, S, and S Plus models now span a wider price range than before, with the addition of a smaller 62-kwh battery pack in the entry version.

State programs meant to give rebates to lower-income car buyers "have suffered from inconsistent and inadequate funding." And premiums to get into many EVs are making the situation worse.

The company did continue to bolster its sales and service network in the quarter, however—something that may put it in a better position once things ramp up.

Jeep and Ram “clean EcoDiesel” models lead to $300 million in fines. California drivers now have another way to get into the Tesla Model Y. And could the same bill the re-ups the EV tax credit accelerate the shift to electric semis? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The same...

Plug-in hybrid sales sag in Europe as they keep popping in the U.S. BMW adds a base version of its i4 EV. And there’s no more base $30k electric Mini Cooper—for now. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The Mini Cooper SE has been a rare exception in the electric-vehicle...

The base-model $30,750 Mini Cooper SE is on an indefinite hiatus due to supply-chain issues, but you can still order one of the upper-trim versions.

Recent sales data shows plug-in hybrids trending downward as EVs trend upward—although that's not a trend that extends to the U.S.

A more affordable version of the i4 is due to come to the U.S. early next year, with its smaller 66-kwh (usable) battery pack and less power the most significant differences.

All the other electric SUVs might seem a little bland after driving the BMW iX, which can feel equal parts charming and off-putting. Just make sure you’re at peace with the styling.

Tesla might be failing to keep pace with its growing sales volumes. It scored above average in previous versions of this study, but it no longer offers adequate levels of customer support either in-person or online.

Koenigsegg is also investing in Lightyear, and the move follows a long pursuit of solar and efficiency tech by the Swedish niche supercar builder.
