Electric Cars

Audi's first fully electric vehicle will carry the technology over to the 2022 model year but offer some feature and appearance changes.

A dual-motor version of the VW ID.4, called the ID.4 AWD Pro, is due for the U.S. around the middle of the year, and the ID.4 GTX previews it.

GM is partnering with seven charging networks to allow easier, app-based charging at 60,000 charging points in the U.S. and Canada.

The U.S. Department of Energy is now reportedly seeing $60 per kilowatt-hour, on a pack basis, as what it takes to get total cost of ownership below gas vehicles.

Musk estimates that production of the new cells remains 12 to 18 months away. What if that proves optimistic?

The Mach-E GT and GT Performance provide an exciting alternative to both the gasoline Mustang and the Tesla Model Y; but the range is shorter than either alternative.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sees the Model Y electric crossover becoming the best-selling vehicle in the world. With enough batteries, it might not be the moonshot it sounds.

Aerodynamics, weight, and rolling resistance have all been closely managed in the Lightyear One solar-supplemented electric car—and tires are part of that.

The anticipated sales growth of electric vehicles requires more battery factories—perhaps colocated with vehicle assembly.

The set of deals applying to plug-in hybrids and battery electric models is a bit better than last year, even though dealer inventories of some models remain sparse.

The move is seen as a first step toward new fuel economy and emissions standards to be announced by July—leaving room for even more ambitious state targets.

Top-notch ratings for both models help support the idea that EVs are at least as safe as their gasoline-powered counterparts.

The megawatt charging standard (MCS) that will enable quick charging stops for heavy-duty trucks isn't here quite yet. But Electric Island is ready for it.

BYD is building a new platform around its LFP-based Blade battery—with cars to have top-notch efficiency, 800V charging, and very sleek aerodynamics.

The EV1 was an revolutionary electric vehicle, and 25 years since its launch we wonder how different things might have been had GM stuck with it.

The first fully electric vehicle for the Genesis brand will come in the form of the Electrified G80 sedan, due in late 2021 or early 2022.

Fully electric and hybrid trucks are now part of the automaker's plans, it confirmed—likely following a new electric crossover and sedan.

The concept, which kicks off a new line of EVs, has dual-motor all-wheel drive developed with Subaru, and a solar recharging system.

By 2030, the U.S. could make all new-car sales and over 80% of new-truck sales electric, with 90% clean electricity, a UC Davis policy report concludes.

A fully electric Audi A6 will arrive in early 2023 looking much like this concept, built on the PPE platform created by Audi and Porsche.
