The first mainstream automaker to jump into the electric-car fold now is among the last to confirm a production crossover that runs purely runs on electric power. On Tuesday at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan unveiled its Ariya concept crossover, an all-electric design study that Nissan said was a "realistic look" at a future crossover from the... 
Kia confirmed Thursday that its next-generation all-electric Soul EV won't arrive for the 2020 model year, but instead will be delayed until 2021.

Since then, automakers such as Tesla have announced similar charging rates for their cars and Porsche dealers—plus...

States are increasingly turning to electric cars for improved air quality and lower costs, but the ways those states are promoting EV use and adoption vary dramatically. That's according to a report released this week by the National Governors Association after it conducted workshops across the U.S. and studied how states are using and, in some... 
Slow sales and a shrinking market for sedans have effectively shelved the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid sedan—the last model from General Motors to use hybrid-system components from the much-loved Chevy Volt. GM spokesman Kevin Kelly confirmed to Green Car Reports on Monday that the hybrid sedan won't appear for the 2020 model year. The Chevrolet...
