Tesla’s sales recover slightly, but the trend lines are all bad

Tesla’s first quarter sales report is out, and depending on how you look at it, the numbers are good but also bad. The company’s sales are up a modest 6 percent year over year, but that’s probably not the best way of looking at it considering the extraordinary circumstances surrounding Tesla – Elon Musk’s Nazi […]

Rising gas prices are good news for EV sales, for now

It’s become an American truism: Once you buy an SUV, there’s no going back. And our love affair with pickups has been documented in a million country songs and TV commercials. But a brutal spike in gasoline prices – nipping $4 nationwide for a gallon of unleaded, up from $3 when the bombs first began […]

Since last year, Uber has been offering drivers in a handful of locations – California, Colorado, Massachusetts and New York City – $4,000 to swap their gas guzzlers for electric vehicles.

Why a two-seater robotaxi makes more sense than you think

When Tesla revealed the Cybercab in 2024, many people were baffled by the automaker’s decision to make it a two-seater. I had similar thoughts when I first saw it at the LA Auto Show later that year: What kind of taxi has only two seats? Once you get above a tuktuk, that’s an asinine idea […]

Sony and Honda ain’t feelin’ the Afeela anymore

Sony and Honda seem to have lost that loving Afeela. The joint venture announced today that it would be discontinuing the $90,000 Afeela 1 electric sedan, as well as the unnamed Afeela SUV concept, as it adjusts to slower EV demand and policy pullbacks. In a statement, Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) determined there was not […]

Donut Lab’s solid-state battery could barely hold a charge after getting damaged

Donut Lab is on a mission to prove to the world its solid-state battery is real, one independent test at a time. We’ve seen speed charging tests, extreme heat tests, and not-a-supercapacitor tests.

In-hub motors make this humble Hyundai a monster on ice

In-wheel motors have been around since the very beginning of electric motoring. Ferdinand Porsche developed one way back in 1900, and the US sent them to the moon in our Lunar Roving Vehicles in the early ’70s. But, outside of e-bikes, they’ve never really gone mainstream. It looked like Lordstown Motors would be their time […]
