The sub-$10,000 BYD Seagull is a tour de force representing China’s strong lead in the global EV market. Some of the cheapest EVs in the U.S.—like the Nissan Leaf—cost three times as much before tax credits. Now, a member of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (Arpa-E), a technology incubator under the U.S. Department of Energy, said that…

Tesla has been a beacon for electric vehicles for over a decade, dragging the entire automotive industry with it and accelerating the transition from combustion cars to EVs. However, traditional automakers are catching up, and there seem to be some internal challenges at Tesla that are slowing it down. The entire industry is taking notice.…

In April, plug-in electric car sales in Europe increased by 11% year-over-year. This slight growth is a positive sign in a challenging market, although the overall market expanded faster. According to EV Volumes data, shared by researcher Jose Pontes, almost 220,000 new plug-in electric cars were registered in Europe in April. The market share…

Since Tesla fired the entire Supercharger team, EV owners and auto execs alike have worried about how the shakeup will affect the industry-wide rollout of North American Charging Standard (NACS) adapters and access to the Supercharger network. Right now, only Tesla, Ford and Rivian EVs can access America's best fast-charging network. But GM EV owners…

Clearly, Jeep isn't about to let Rivian have all of the fun when it comes to no-gas adventures away from the pavement. Meet the Jeep Wagoneer S Trailhawk Concept, unveiled today in New York City (where the potholes often necessitate an off-road suspension) alongside the standard Wagoneer S. And while Jeep is just calling it…

Technically, the first all-electric Jeep model was the Jeep Avenger. But as a subcompact crossover that only recently added all-wheel-drive, there's a reason it's only sold in Europe and a few other markets. No, the "real" battery-powered Jeep that Americans—and soon, much of the rest of the world—will want is this: the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S. …

Jeep’s first electric vehicle for North America may have been teased for several years, but now it’s been revealed in production form—and with a fall 2024 arrival date, it’s just around the corner. The Wagoneer S is only offered as a battery electric model, with 600 hp and 617 lb-ft of torque, combined, and a…

The three-row Kia EV9 has been a critical hit so far, but it's had one major drawback: being built in Korea, it doesn't qualify for a tax credit of up to $7,500 unless it's leased. That's going to change soon enough, because starting today, the EV9 is an American-built SUV.  Kia and local politicians…

The Cybertruck is the first 800-volt Tesla, with the highest charging power out of all its models. Tesla officially says that it can’t charge at any more than 250 kilowatts, exactly the same as all the other models, but that’s not entirely true. If you hook it up to a third-party charger that can deliver…

This week, BYD officially unveiled and put on sale its two latest compact sedans: the Qin L and Seal 06, two variations on essentially the same thing. Despite styling differences and a difference in pure electric range, the two cars are about the same mechanically. That means they’re both using the fifth-generation version of BYD’s…
