Honda calls the Prologue its “first volume Honda EV,” and notes that Honda-engineered EVs will start arriving in North America in 2026

Sila claims its high-silicon anode material can increase energy density by 20% to 40% over current lithium-ion cell chemistries—meaning more range without larger battery packs.

The 2023 Genesis GV60 offers up a luxurious, tech-savvy EV experience, but a big price tag and wobbly suspension give us pause.

Volkswagen reportedly didn't approach its U.S. dealers ahead of the decision to create its Scout SUV brand—which leads to all sorts of questions about how it plans to sell these EVs.

The first electric vehicle from Cadillac also promises to be exceptionally quiet, luxurious, and fast-charging.
