Porsche last month rolled out the Taycan electric car in Japan for the first time, with a charging demonstration in cooperation with the charging-hardware provider ABB. The demonstration charger featured with the Taycan, which will have Japan’s ubiquitous CHAdeMO charge port when it’s for sale in the country, was said to be capable of...
The Tesla Cybertruck has a very large windshield. And while it might be coincidence, it so happens that Tesla has been paying more than the usual attention this year to advanced technology that keeps windshields clean. One of these pieces of technology might include a laser-based system. Such a system, as detailed in a range of possibilities too...
Although the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car may seem like a relic from another time, when the best chance of EVs succeeding cast them as super-utilitarian urban lightweights, the Japanese automaker still builds the i-MiEV, and it was discontinued for the U.S. just over two years ago. Last week a new recall for the 2012-2017 i-MiEV, in U.S. spec...
The Mustang Mach-E has a very interesting origin story. The Jaguar I-Pace gets more range, but not a higher EPA range rating. Connecticut tries to steer away from incentivizing Teslas. And do hybrids need special motor oil? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. We brought you a deep dive into how the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV came...
Jaguar boasted prior to the rollout of the I-Pace that the electric crossover would be capable of a wide range of over-the-air update functionality, with the potential, in the same way Tesla has used updates, to tweak power management, cooling behavior, and things like regenerative braking—to make the vehicle more efficient or, perhaps...
Electric cars give notice to one of the biggest profit drivers for the American auto-service sector: the oil change. Not so fast, though. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids have essentially the same oil-change needs as non-hybrids. And in the U.S. alone, there are an estimated 5 million hybrid vehicles on the road today, and hybrids are anticipated to...
America should be leading the way on clean energy, not falling behind.
The incentives that many states have provided to plug-in vehicle buyers have for the most part been a success; though they’ve also in many cases been a learning experience Connecticut is a good example, and the state is in the middle of a revamp of its program, called the Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate (CHEAPR)…
Team Edison, the EV-focused team at Ford’s Corktown facility, in downtown Detroit, was responsible for helping conceive the vehicle that became the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and essentially chaperone it through Ford’s vehicle development channels in Dearborn to production, delivery, and support. Early this year, Team Edison leader (and...
Which automaker committed to a plant with battery giant LG Chem? And why again is Toyota so committed to hybrids and not electric cars? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending December 6, 2019. Sono Motors is aiming to make a compact car powered mostly by solar panels. We asked...
