The Dolphin Surf is already one of Europe’s cheapest EVs, yet BYD may have an even more affordable electric car up its sleeve.

With a modular design that supports up to 100kW of DC fast charging output, this new collaborative charging platform gives businesses, municipalities, and fleet operators a scalable solution to accelerate EV adoption to sites without -phase power.

Tesla and Waymo are currently on opposite sides of a back-and-forth regarding how to proceed with California’s autonomous ride-hailing rules, and Tesla’s filings paint a different picture of its “Robotaxi” system’s capabilities than its CEO Elon Musk has in his public statements.

Kempower just cut the ribbon on downtown Durham, North Carolina’s first public DC fast-charging station. The new charger is operated in partnership with National Car Charging.

Porsche unveiled its new Cayenne EV today, and it comes with an option for something we haven’t seen out of a factory-equipped car before: inductive charging.

The Cadillac Escalade IQ is arriving as Korea’s first full-size electric SUV, boasting an impressive 739 km (459 miles) of range.

Future Motion – the company that basically invented the “self-balancing asphalt surfboard” category with the Onewheel – has officially entered the two-wheeled world. And in typical Future Motion fashion, they didn’t just build a bike. They built a weirdly wild, 1970s-inspired electric mini bike that can literally hold you in a wheelie.

The General Motors EV1 has a vital place in electric vehicle history. It mainly served to show two things:

1. Show a viable path for battery-electric vehicles back in the 1990s.
2. Some forces are clearly at play to suppress electric cars.

GM only leased the EV1, never sold any, and prevented almost anyone from keeping them when it killed the vehicle program.

The automaker ended up crushing the vast majority of them. While a few empty shells exist in museums, they are strictly prohibited from ever driving again. But a new project has surfaced involving what appears to be the only legally owned EV1 in private hands, and the new owner plans to put it back on the road with a modern battery pack.

A YouTube channel called Electrek Garage (no relation to us, though we like the name) posted a fascinating video detailing the acquisition and restoration plan for this unicorn of an EV.

The Inster, Hyundai’s most affordable EV, is Germany’s best-selling small electric car and top overall vehicle priced under €25,000.

Tesla has been granted a Transportation Network Company (TNC) permit by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), enabling the company to operate a paid ride-hailing service in the state officially.

This will allow Tesla to launch its ‘Robotaxi’ similarly to how it does in California – meaning with Uber drivers using Full Self-Driving Supervised (FSD).

BMW’s new electric SUV is a true range monster. BMW drove the iX3 over 1,000 km (621 miles) without charging, and it still wasn’t empty.

It’s not the Wrangler EV, but it’s the closest thing to it. The 2026 Jeep Recon EV is the first fully electric trail-rated SUV, packing 650 horsepower, 9.1″ of ground clearance, and plenty of range to get you back to town.

Porsche has unveiled the 4th generation of the Cayenne, it’s all-electric, and it just happens to be the most powerful thing ever to leave Porsche’s factory gate. We got to take a look at it in advance of the unveil.

There’s a popular belief that slower equals safer. The concept is not entirely without merit, but it doesn’t apply universally, and especially not to electric bicycles.

For those brave enough to power through their gritted teeth and keep reading, let me explain.

Aviation startup Electra made history last month when its EL2 became the first hybrid-electric Ultra Short Take-off and Landing (uSTOL) aircraft to successfully complete helicopter-like take-offs and landings at the Watertown International Airport.

Can an EV really help power your home when the power goes out? It’s one of the biggest FAQs people have about electric cars — but the answer can be a bit confusing. It’s either a yes, with a but – or a no, with an unless. To find out which EVs can offer vehicle-to-home (V2H) tech to keep the lights on or even lower your energy bills, keep on reading.

UPDATE 18NOV2025: the Swedes get in the game!

After watching every other major automaker, Ford, GM, Mercedes, Hyundai-Kia, and even the famously cautious Toyota, and just last week Volkswagen, jump ship from the clunky CCS standard to the elegant, proven, and reliable NACS connector, Stellantis was the last major legacy holdout.

Well, the last domino has fallen, but the most interesting thing is that the NACS connector, which stands for North American Charging Standard, is going global – beyond North America.

The US Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) closed a $1 billion loan to restart Three Mile Island Unit 1, a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania.

An affordable Bronco EV? Not for those in the US. Ford opened orders for the electric Bronco in China, starting at under $33,000.

We’re now nearly two months out from the end of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit on September 30, and there are still solid deals to be had on some pretty spiffy EVs. In fact, three of our top five November specials are cheaper than what was offered in September, and two come with home EV chargers and free installation. Here are November’s top 5 EV lease deals, as spotted by our friends at CarsDirect.

Polestar and home energy company dcbel are rolling out vehicle‑to‑home (V2H), blackout backup, and smart charging features for Polestar 3 owners in the US, starting in California.

The PV5 is more than just an electric van. It can do it all. After revealing the PV5 Chassis Cab, Kia showed how it can turn into a food truck, a camper, and plenty of other setups you wouldn’t expect.
