A one-off Mini Concept that made its debut on Thursday explores an idea that cars, especially small urban electric cars like the Cooper SE, could be a lot simpler and thus more sustainable.

With an expanded series of 2022 Polestar 2 models that will arrive later in 2021, Polestar is positioning itself to become more than a niche premium electric-car performance brand.

General Motors on Wednesday confirmed that its upcoming Chevrolet Silverado electric pickup will offer four-wheel steering, as well as gigantic 24-inch wheels, in its production form.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid gets priced in the same territory as the RAV4 Prime. Two wild off-road builds of on-road electric cars go to show how tough today’s EVs really are. And if Biden wants U.S.- and union-made EVs, which models fit that today? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. This morning, we had a little fun looking... 
Why was Tesla left out last week?

White House press secretary...

And are electric trailers a game-changer for long-distance towing with EVs? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. A German travel-trailer and... 
With Biden fuel economy rules revealed late Thursday, the EPA expects that “strong hybrid” powertrains will make up just 5% of new sales in 2026, and plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles combined will make up just 8% then. For the past three years, plug-in vehicles have amounted to about 2% of U.S. light-duty sales, although... 
An electric trailer could solve the largest problem when towing with an electric vehicle: You might only go half the distance on a charge while towing.

President Biden this morning signed an executive order to make 50% of new vehicles sold by 2030 zero-emission.
