Kia has quietly become a dark horse in the EV space, with a full lineup of models that range from electric sedans to vans and everything in between.

With over 7% market share, BYD is now the top-selling EV brand in the UK so far in 2026, surpassing Tesla, Kia, and Volkswagen to take the top spot. And it’s not just the UK, BYD is outpacing the competition in several overseas markets.

Fang Cheng Bao is best known for its high-end off-road SUVs, but now BYD’s sub-brand has its sights set on a new market after revealing its first electric sedan and sleek Formula X sports car.

After reporting that US sales dropped for a fourth consecutive month in April from last year, Ford is bringing back employee pricing and free EV chargers in its latest push.

Kia’s electric SUV just got a bit more attractive. The base 2026 Kia EV6 is $5,000 cheaper than last year’s model, and even more on some trims.

Toyota is apparently flipping the script by putting “EV haters” in its new electric SUVs to turn skeptics into believers.

Toyota’s luxury Lexus brand will unveil its first three-row electric SUV this week. The higher-end sibling to the Highlander EV was spotted testing for the first time ahead of its debut.

Kia is off to a record start in the US in 2026, led by strong demand for hybrid and electric vehicles. The three-row EV9 and EV6 gained momentum last month, but the EV3 will likely be Kia’s biggest hit yet.

BYD’s 3,000 hp electric supercar, the Yangwang U9 Xtreme, sold for nearly $3 million at the Beijing Auto Show, making it the event’s highest-priced vehicle.

Hyundai’s electric SUV remains a top seller in the US after sales rebounded quicker than expected. IONIQ 5 sales are now up 11% through April 2026.

Rivian (RIVN) now expects to produce up to 300,000 vehicles at its Georgia manufacturing plant, a 50% increase from its initial estimate.

BYD calls it the world’s first intelligent electric supercar. After its global debut at the Beijing Auto Show, the Denza Z is set to go head-to-head with Europe’s top luxury automakers this summer.

Kia’s electric van can do it all. The AI Patrol PV5 will hit the road later this year, equipped with custom AI cameras and drones.

The new Hyundai Pleos Connect is an easier-to-use, AI-based infotainment system that’s more like using a smartphone. It’s similar to Tesla’s, but with one key difference.

The new iX3 will go on sale soon as BMW’s first Neue Klasse EV. Ahead of its US launch, BMW updated the 2027 iX3 range estimates to 434 miles.

Ford (NYSE: F) reported Q1 2026 earnings after the market closed, beating top and bottom lines due to a $1.3 billion one-time tariff refund and improvements with the Novelis plant recovery.

Just over a week after its official debut, Hyundai showcased the IONIQ 3 standard version for the first time.

The new entry-level EV is finally here. Volkswagen opened pre-orders for the ID. Polo on Wednesday, starting at 33,795 euros ($40,000). The promised base version at 25,000 euros ($29,000) will follow shortly.

The new 2026 Toyota bZ has an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 314 miles, but real-world testing suggests it can go even further.

The ID. Polo is set to kick off a new chapter at Volkswagen as the first model from its new family of entry-level EVs.

The 2027 Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Performance Black Ink edition is more than just another blacked-out model, and we were invited to see it in person at Hyundai’s plant in Savannah, Georgia.

GM beat first-quarter earnings expectations after winning a US Supreme Court decision to refund around $500 million from the Trump Administration’s tariffs.

As drivers look for alternatives amid rising gas prices, Toyota has been an unexpected winner, with EV sales more than doubling in March.

Kia is cutting prices in the US, Europe, and other key markets in response to a wave of new low-cost rivals.
