Toyota is still on track to launch its first solid-state battery-powered vehicle within the next two to three years. An executive confirmed Toyota’s timeline at the Tokyo Motor Show this week.

When it comes to electric bikes, the JackRabbit OG2 Pro barely qualifies as one – and that’s kind of the point. With no pedals, a seat barely higher than your hip, and a wheelbase shorter than some skateboards, this is less a traditional e-bike and more a bite-sized personal transporter that feels like a cross between a folding bike and an electric scooter.

But after riding it around for the past few months, I can confidently say: it’s an absolute blast. It’s more powerful than it looks, it’s easier to transport than you’d expect, and it’s simply more fun than you can imagine. It’s the small-format whip that I wish had existed years ago.

Elon Musk recently walked back his impossible extremely ambitious robotaxi goals, shifting from a target of reaching “half the U.S. population by the end of 2025” to a more “modest” goal of launching in “eight to 10 U.S. metro areas” within the next two months.

Now, in a development that should surprise no one, a new report suggests that even this heavily scaled-back timeline is facing significant obstacles.

Latin America’s electric mobility transition is kicking into high gear, and Brazil-based Vammo is emerging as its battery-swapping champion.

Tesla is recalling 6,197 Cybertrucks with the “Off Road Lightbar” attachment, citing incorrect use of adhesives which could lead the accessory to fall off during vehicle operation.

It’s about 10% of the 63,619 Cybertrucks in existence, which we know about due to another recall from last week (though that one was fixed by a software update) – showing that the Cybertruck is selling a lot more poorly than initial estimates would have suggested.

If you thought that 60 mph (100 km/h) electric scooter was a good idea, you might want to think again. It’s getting easier than ever for police to catch illegally fast micromobility devices with simple roadside tests.

DHL Express has more than 10,000 eSprinter vans in its global delivery fleet, but none of those have been deployed in North America – until now, that is! The company recently added 45 new Mercedes eSprinter panel vans, and they’ve got plans for plenty more!

Enphase Energy just launched a new off-grid system that lets homeowners power their homes without a utility connection – even for extended periods. The California-based Enphase says the off-grid setup delivers a seamless way to live independently from the grid while still using solar, batteries, and a standby AC generator.

Global offshore wind targets are still strong enough to triple global capacity by 2030, despite the US’s offshore wind stagnation under Trump. A new analysis from energy think tank Ember and the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) shows that the rest of the world is charging forward, underscoring confidence in offshore wind as a cornerstone of future clean energy systems.

The electric hot hatch is more than just a show car, Subaru says it offers capabilities only possible with a battery EV.

The sporty Vision X-Coupe can drive nearly 100 miles in electric-only mode, but Mazda said a unique new plug-in hybrid system delivers up to 500 horsepower and almost 500 miles of driving range.

Three months after Uber, Lucid Motors, and Nuro announced a partnership that would enable Gravity SUV robotaxis, the rideshare network has shared where the public will first be able to hail one. Spoiler alert, it’s easy to guess if you give it half a thought.
