To sell its Model S and Model X in China, Tesla gave in and fitted local charging ports to accommodate a pair of Chinese standard plugs.

A program in Germany by Volkswagen to encourage the owners of the dirtiest diesels to scrap them has been extended, but VW is selling more e-Golf electric cars.

Another Chinese electric-car startup puts its first car on sale this month: The Nio ES8 electric SUV is roughly half the price of a Tesla Model X.

Finally, the Mini Cooper can now be ordered with a dual-clutch transmission for racier performance—at least in Europe.
