Toyota and Stellantis are both withdrawing from Tesla’s European CO2 emissions pool for 2026, according to new EU filings. The two automakers were among the largest paying members of the pool.

The move is the latest blow to Tesla’s regulatory credit revenue, which has already been shrinking globally after the US eliminated its own emission credit market last year.

With its official debut just days away, BYD revealed the first images of its new flagship electric SUV, the Great Tang.

Elon Musk’s xAI is now operating 62 unpermitted methane gas turbines across two data centers in Memphis, Tennessee, and Southaven, Mississippi. According to xAI’s own permit application, the facilities could emit more than 6 million tons of greenhouse gases and over 1,300 tons of health-harming air pollutants every year.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s latest impact report brags about avoiding 32 million metric tons of CO2. Musk is single-handedly erasing a significant chunk of his own company’s climate legacy to power a middle-of-the-pack AI model.

Hyundai’s hot streak continued after another record-setting US sales month. The IONIQ 5 defied the odds with a surprise record February after sales rose 33%.

Chinese manufacturing and equipment firm Zoomlion looks set for a breakout year – the company has shipped some 15,000 units with a combined value of approximately 8.5 billion yuan (~1.2B), and we’re barely into March (!).

If you’ve been watching the light electric two-wheeler space over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed one category growing faster than just about anything else: compact electric “e-motos.”

These trail-optimized machines have carved out a niche somewhere far above off-road electric bicycles yet still below full-size dirt bikes, offering serious performance in a smaller, more approachable package.

Engwe, a popular maker of several different styles of electric bicycles, has just launched what appears to be its boldest and most powerful electric two-wheeler yet, the M20 3.0.

Xiaomi has revealed the full technical specifications of its Vision Gran Turismo electric hypercar concept at MWC Barcelona, and the details are genuinely impressive — including a magnetic wheel system that keeps wheel covers stationary while the car is moving.

The concept, which we first reported on last week when it leaked ahead of MWC, is now on full display at the show with a detailed spec sheet and some unique engineering solutions that go well beyond a typical concept car design exercise.

BYD is launching fully electric vehicles with over 1,000 km (620 miles) CLTC range. After previewing the new Denza Z9 GT, BYD claimed it is “the world’s longest pure electric driving range vehicle.”

Hyundai’s three-row electric SUV turned out to be a surprise hit in its home market. To celebrate the IONIQ 9 sweeping the “2026 Car of the Year” awards, Hyundai launched new discounts across its EV lineup.

This week’s Green Deals are kicking off with a launch deal on ENGWE’s new M20 3.0 Moped-Style e-bike that comes with single or dual battery configurations and $114 in FREE gear starting from $1,399.

Volkswagen’s partner, Gotion High Tech, has begun testing all-solid-state EV batteries with a CLTC range of 1,000 km (620 miles) in vehicles.

It looks just like the LEAF, but it’s not wearing a Nissan badge. With its big debut just around the corner, Mitsubishi’s new EV was spotted testing for the first time.

I spent a full day drifting the Polestar 4 on ice at Quebec’s Mecaglisse track, and I came away seriously impressed with how well Polestar has tuned the dynamics of its 544-hp electric SUV coupé.

The ice driving event gave me a chance to experience the dual-motor Polestar 4’s all-wheel-drive system in slow motion — pushing the vehicle to its limits in a controlled environment that reveals every nuance of how power is distributed and how the chassis responds.

BYD revealed the first images of the Seal 07 EV, its new electric sedan that’s about the size of the Toyota Camry.

Florida’s proposed 10 mph e-bike speed limit law is moving forward, and unlike many recent attempts at regulating electric bikes, this one may actually thread the needle.

Donut Lab has released a second set of independent test results for its controversial solid-state battery — this time proving the cell can discharge at extreme temperatures up to 100°C and actually gain capacity in the process.

The new VTT report, released just one week after the first test confirmed the cell’s fast-charging capability at 0-80% in 4.5 minutes, adds another data point in favor of Donut Lab’s claims. But the most extraordinary specs remain unverified.

Subaru invited us to try out its upcoming rugged Trailseeker EV’s off-road chops on a muddy day in Southern California. But how does it compete in the crowded electric SUV market?

Electric bike maker Tenways has filed for a main board listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, marking a significant milestone for one of Europe’s fastest-growing commuter e-bike brands.

Tesla has increased the price of the new Cybertruck AWD from $59,990 to $69,990 — a 17% price hike that took effect today, just 10 days after the trim was introduced.

The price increase follows what might be one of the most cynical new trim introductions in the history of the auto industry: launch at a low price, create urgency by announcing the price will increase in 10 days, then claim the price hike is justified by the inflated demand you just created.

Electric vehicles are everywhere these days, but few are as intriguing – or as polarizing – as the tiny urban EV soon headed to American roads. Fiat recently announced plans to bring its diminutive new model, the Topolino, to the US this year. At roughly the size of a golf cart and priced far below most traditional EVs, it is technically more of a quadricycle than a true ‘car’ and offers a radically different vision of personal mobility: ultra-compact, affordable, and perfectly tailored to short city commutes.
