As East Coast states try to catch California in plug-in car sales, they've lost another arrow in their quiver. Honda switched from offering big incentives on Clarity Plug-In Hybrids in Northeastern States to shipping its entire U.S. allotment to California, according to a Honda spokeswoman. "California is the largest market for plug-in hybrid... 
Tesla brought back free unlimited Supercharging for the Model S and Model X. When the VW ID R electric race car set a new lap record at Germany's Nurburgring, it demolished other records, too. Concerns over prices and availability of materials for EV batteries may not be about lithium. And our latest Twitter poll asks readers if automated chargers... 
As automakers fret over materials and supplies of electric car batteries, it may not be lithium keeping executives up at night. A new report from Bloomberg reveals that prices for class one nickel—high purity and required in some electric car batteries—has jumped more than 35 percent since the end of 2018 on the London Metal Exchange... 
Electrify America is developing new chargers with robotic arms to plug into self-driving cars. That led us to wonder: Is that really more helpful than wireless charging pads? Wireless chargers lose efficiency if cars don't line up over them precisely, which may trouble some drivers. If cars are driving themselves, they could be expected to line up... 
As the Volkswagen ID R electric race car blistered around Germany's famous Nurburgring-Nordschliefe race course in June, it broke another record too: for the lowest fuel consumption driving around the course. Volkswagen announced Friday that the ID R set a new fuel-efficiency record of the equivalent of 17 mpg on the lap. If that sounds like...

Tesla announced Saturday it is bringing back free Supercharging on its high-end Model S and Model X. We've heard that before. What makes this time different is that the company isn't just offering the incentive on a few cars or in a limited amount. Instead, the company will offer free lifetime Supercharging to all buyers who purchase a Model S or... 
California filed another lawsuit against the Trump administration over proposed fuel-economy rules, this time about fines. Karma plans to show off its GT by Pininfarina coupe at Monterey Car week this month. New federal tax credits in Canada have boosted EV sales in the country, the government says. And a new study by Volvo hints at how much fuel... 
Self-driving cars are green cars, not just because they are usually electric. One of the biggest reasons engineers began working on self-driving cars more than a dozen years ago was for their efficiency, reducing stop-and-go driving and eventually even stoplights. (Potential safety improvements are another big motivation.) Now, a study by the...

After Canada introduced a nationwide $5,000 tax credit for electric cars, sales shot up by 30 percent, the country's Transport Ministry announced on Thursday. The government announced the tax credit in March, after a new provincial election in Ontario last July brought a Conservative government to power which ended that province's $14,000 tax...
