Industry newcomer Rivian is already wowing owners not just with its R1T electric truck but as part of a well-rounded assessment of the ownership experience.

We try to understand the Mazda MX-30 EV. Ford looks at heating panels, not air, for EV efficiency. And Nissan held the line on EV projections for the U.S., but it’s delivering some of its new Ariya EVs with electric semis. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Nissan announced Monday that it’s accelerating its shift toward... 
Nissan announced Monday that as part of an accelerated shift to electrified and fully electric vehicles it sees 55% of global mix made up by “electrified” vehicles by 2030—up from its previous 50% forecast. Although after the solidification of various pieces of Biden administration EV policy, it hasn’t set any higher target... 
The MX-30 EV is a confusing one. It embodies a unique package not shared with any gasoline model and its design details transcend its sub-$40,000 price tag. Yet it sends out some of the disappointing signals of the so-called compliance cars from a decade earlier. For the most part, these were electric conversions of small cars—the Fiat 500... 
Which automaker (not Tesla) re-upped its plans to bring a steering yoke to the U.S.? And another solar car was canceled. Which one? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending February 24, 2023. The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric sedan has a price tag for the U.S., and it sets the... 
We look at the shortlist of safest electric cars and plug-in hybrids. The Sono Sion solar car is no more. And will worries over gasoline-car resale value drive subscription models? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Sono Motors announced that the Sono Sion solar car project has been terminated. The company will instead focus on solar... 
Germany’s Sono Motors announced Friday that it will “terminate its Sion passenger car program,” effective immediately, while instead focusing on its solar solutions. Buried within the announcement was a glimmer of hope for those who would like to see the affordable solar car make it to market: Sono intends to sell its Sion... 
Ohio’s Lordstown Motors announced that it “has experienced performance and quality issues with certain Endurance components.” That’s led to a temporary stop to both production and customer deliveries, and it will lead to the company’s first recall. According to the company, it’s already filed paperwork with the... 
Toyota might opt for U.S. EV production in Kentucky. VW is keeping EV components in-house so it can optimize them for efficiency. And the Hyundai Ioniq 6 gets priced in the same range as the Model 3. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric sedan has a price tag for the U.S., and it sets the 361-mile version that... 
Hyundai has put a price tag on the Ioniq 6 electric sedan for the U.S., and its starting price lands just $70 less than the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric crossover. The price of the 2023 Ioniq 6 Standard Range is $42,715, including the $1,115 destination fee. That’s including the 53-kwh battery pack and an estimated EPA driving range of 240... 
Lexus’ yoke remains on the way for the U.S.—later. Genesis’ GV70 electric SUV is much more expensive than its gasoline counterpart. Porsche thinks one-pedal driving isn’t efficient. Sakuu offers up the first solid-state cells for EVs. Rivian electric trucks make some nature-inspired sounds. And are plug-in hybrids emitting... 
As the mobility and EV industry converges around a seemingly limited array of battery sizes and just three form factors, California-based Sakuu is suggesting a very different, seemingly endless range of possibilities—like future cells sized and shaped for products. The manufacturing hook behind this proposition is 3D printing. While there... 
Which brand revealed a fully electric convertible available this year? Which state opted to join California’s EV mandate this week? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending February 17, 2023. In a review of the 2023 Kia Niro EV, we find that while this 253-mile EV has... 
Tesla recalls Full Self-Driving Beta. The ethanol that Midwest politicians support is raising pump prices for the region. Ford appears to be considering a charging solution that makes more with less. And the Kia Niro EV is more charming than its predecessor but a puzzling product by the numbers. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. In a... 
As more friends and extended family warm up to the idea of electric vehicles, I’ve noticed an increasingly frequent request: Which EVs offer all-wheel drive and can be had for under $40,000? The answer: Not the 2023 Kia Niro EV. Not a single model in the American market right now. The Niro—hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or EV—has been a... 
Under the request of federal regulators, Tesla is due to push an update that will restrict the behavior of its most controversial driver-assistance system, labeled Full Self-Driving Beta, because it poses “an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.” The recall affects 362,758 vehicles, including the 2016-2023 Model S and Model X...

The U.S. Department of Transportation and the Biden administration on Wednesday laid out a set of requirements for charging hardware—and charging network behavior—that any company looking at claiming federal funds in the buildout of the $7.5 billion national EV charging network will need to submit to. Even Tesla. The final requirements...
