The Lucid Air has been recalled over a wiring issue—but nothing to do with its ace propulsion pieces. We sum up why we like the EV6 just a little bit more than the Ioniq 5, but why we think an important piece of tech is missing from both. And are brake-dust emissions from EVs something to be concerned about? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. We recently did a 2022 Kia EV6 GT-Line review in some less-than-ideal road-trip conditions. From that, and living with the EV6 and the Ioniq 5, we wrapped up some takeaways on EV6 real-world range, charging, and livability—and how it...
The Kia side of this nearly identically equipped dynamic duo of EV cousins is tuned better—although a recent rainy-weather drive in a RWD model put heat pump tech on our wish list.
Bengt HalvorsonEven though EVs use the friction brakes less, some data suggests they generate more brake dust—and the EU is looking to contain that.
Stephen EdelsteinThe fault involves a wiring harness that may not be secured properly in the affected cars—although it affects less than 1% of recalled vehicles.
Stephen EdelsteinPolestar invests in some very fast-charging batteries, and Stellantis partners with Samsung SDI. And could a program in Seattle for putting EV chargers along residential streets serve as a template for other big cities? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The automaker Stellantis on Tuesday...
Bengt HalvorsonProperty owners who drive EVs can request that the city install a publicly owned L2 charger streetside, with a flat fee of $0.20 or more per kwh for use.
Stephen EdelsteinStoreDot aims to mass-produce EV batteries capable of adding nearly 100 miles of range in just five minutes of charging by 2024.
The Indiana plant, and a larger one with LG, will supply cells to hundreds of thousands of EVs made annually by later in the decade.
Bengt HalvorsonWe review the Hyundai Tucson plug-in. Mercedes’ EQG electric SUV performs a stunt that doesn’t tread lightly. And the federal government provides some details on its $5 billion plan for electric school buses. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In...
Bengt HalvorsonWith a charge time of less than two hours and 33 miles of electric range—then 35 mpg—the Tucson PHEV offers an attractive set of numbers.
Martin PadgettHigh-need districts will be prioritized, but funds will be offered through lottery system to other schools for buses and charging hardware.
Stephen EdelsteinMercedes' G-Turn sounds a lot like Rivian's Tank Turn, allowing the vehicle to rotate within a space not much greater than its own length.
