The federal government requires automakers to include information on a vehicle’s energy consumption, along with pricing and other information, on the so-called “Monroney” sticker that’s posted on every new light-duty vehicle sold in the U.S. It’s named for Almer Stillwell “Mike” Monroney, a U.S. Senator from Oklahoma who sponsored the Automobile Disclosure Act of 1958,…

Earlier this week, Elon Musk woke up and chose violence. More than usual. On Tuesday, he laid off seemingly all of Tesla’s electric vehicle charging division and said the automaker would drastically slow down its rollout of new Supercharger stations.

In a coordinated push through federal agencies, the Biden administration on Friday released a revised set of regulations applying to the EV tax credit that will ultimately make the credit easier to claim for a wider range of vehicles in 2025 and 2026 but no easier for Chinese companies to gain a foothold on the…

Plug-in hybrids, PHEVs, have—you guessed it—plugs. They have both electric motors and gas engines. PHEVs get some of their power through chargers and outlets, even the standard 120-volt wall plug found in most homes. Note, however, that many PHEVs on the market today can’t get charge from the public “fast chargers” increasingly installed along highways…
