Electric Cars

A 2025 production EV, yet unnamed, may take the form of this concept—a traditional three-box sedan expected to be about the same size as the 3-Series, Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6.

But both the Cooper and Countryman will still be offered in gasoline form, as the brand starts to shift to electric.

Fisker claims the Pear will be offered with two battery options allowing 180 miles or 320 miles of range, with available all-wheel drive.

The 410-mile range applies to trucks with 21-inch wheels; range drops to 380 miles with 22-inch wheels and 355 miles with 20-inch wheels and all-terrain tires.

An updated aero look and various cabin updates herald the first significant refresh for the Model 3 since its 2017 U.S. arrival and 2019 arrival in Europe.

Adjusted for the vehicle population, the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y have the lowest frequency of claims of any vehicles—and the IIHS suggests a simple explanation.

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter will be made in South Carolina and equipped with CATL LFP cells, permitting a range likely to top all other electric vans currently available.

With its Enduro drive unit, Rivian looks to put its growing pains in the rearview mirror of its Dual-Motor electric vehicles.

Results show no significant acceleration of range degradation for those who fast-charge 90% of the time versus those fast-charging less than 10% of the time, according to Recurrent.

At 5%, sales might accelerate, assuming the same adoption curve for EVs as for other technologies—although charging hurdles and cost barriers are among the factors potentially getting in the way.

The boxier Q8 E-Tron SUV body style does nearly as well at 285 miles.

A "virtual power plant" pilot program will pay Tesla Powerwall owners to provide an extra boost to stabilize the electrical grid at peak times.

The propulsion tech isn't directly to blame; the trouble remains the additional tech features EVs are more likely to have.

The EV5 would give Kia a product that directly tackles compact EVs the size of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

Starting around 2025, a boxy counterpoint to the Ariya and a replacement for the Leaf may join the electric sedan set to be made in Mississippi.

Looking at second-quarter 2023 industry data, average repair costs for EVs were $963 higher in the U.S. versus comparable internal-combustion vehicles.

In late 2023, the state will expand its Clean Cars 4 All program, which considers applicant income, as a replacement for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP).

Don't expect a lot more range or faster charging, but a sharpened look and improved cabin interface keep this well-packed EV in top form.

The VF 9 is one of the EVs Vinfast plans to build in North Carolina starting in 2024.

Research suggests AI might enable more from solar by optimizing output for the full range of lighting conditions and other variables.
