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.

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.

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.

Waymo is significantly accelerating its rollout. After years of slow and methodical expansion, the Alphabet-owned company is now moving at a faster speed, announcing today that it is bringing its autonomous driving technology to five new major cities, starting with Miami.

The good news is that the system did wake him up, but certainly a bit late.

Electric motorcycles come in all shapes and sizes these days, but few take the idea of “small format” as literally as the new Icoma Tatamel Bike. Designed by Takamitsu Ikoma – a former toy designer who clearly never lost his taste for Transformers – this little EV doesn’t just shrink.

It folds itself into a tidy rolling suitcase shape that can follow you into elevators, offices, and apartments, where full-sized bikes are a non-starter.
