Two House Democrats are demanding that the Department of Energy report projected lifecycle emissions for seven federally-funded hydrogen hubs. First reported by Politico, Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Don Beyer of Virginia wrote a letter to the Energy Department's of Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) asking for clarification on the emissions from the…

Buyers curious about making the switch to electric vehicles have made it clear in survey after survey after survey: Charging kind of freaks them out. In many ways, drivers report, owning an EV is the same if not better than owning a gas-powered car. But fueling an electric vehicle is different, and can be…

After years of planning for an eventual end to internal combustion, automakers are seeing electric vehicles take off less quickly than they projected. However, there's too much at stake to back out at this point—they've already spent billions of dollars getting to this point, and future products are already in the works. But one thing that…

Which electric SUV was teased as quicker than the Tesla Model Y Performance? How much real-world range do Teslas lose over the first three years? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending May 24, 2024. In a first drive of the 2024 Chevrolet…

Tesla may say it doesn't sell slow cars, but that's not true if you live in a country where cars are taxed based on their power rating.

Control is all I want in an electric scooter. OK, that's a lie, I also want decent range, good power, and a reasonable weight. Being able to control speed, regenerative braking, and how turn signals work—if they're even available—is not something you find on most escooters. And even if you can access those things,…

Cheaper electric cars are coming at last. To Europe, anyway.  The Volkswagen Group on Tuesday said that "for some time" it's been working on compact electric vehicles that will cost around 20,000 euros, the equivalent of $21,700. Europe's largest carmaker said the new vehicles will premier in 2027.  Cheap EVs…

The Mach-E is Ford’s only dedicated electric vehicle, with no gasoline equivalent. Yet it won’t let you, or anyone driving near you, mistake it for anything but a member of the Mustang family.  On the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, the design cues and prancing-horse logos still deal out an overstated hand of pony-car attitude.…

Car enthusiasts mourn the commoditization of propulsion. Once petrolheads would have chosen a BMW for its sonorous straight-six or a Mercedes-AMG for its thunderous V8.
