While the current Presidential administration remains hostile to nearly any effort to reduce carbon emissions, two members of Congress have introduced a bill to expand electric-car charging infrastructure. Called the Electric Vehicle Freedom Act, the bill calls for the construction of a network of fast-charging stations along major highways within... 
As part of a budget summary for fiscal year 2021 submitted Monday, the Trump administration seeks to eliminate the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program. The future of the program, called ATVM within the auto industry, could potentially affect the viability of Lordstown Motors, the venture aiming to make electric pickups in... 
Hyundai’s retiring at least one plug-in hybrid product. There’s quite a deal right now on the Audi E-Tron SUV. We get a look back—way back—at Rivian’s original project. And Hyundai is still thinking about hydrogen fuel cells for much more than cars. This and more, today at Green Car Reports. The 2020 Hyundai Sonata... 
Rivian isn't quite ready to deliver its first electric vehicles, the R1T pickup and R1S SUV, but the company did release a video explaining its origin story. Founded in 2009 as Mainstream Motors, Rivian didn't start out as the same truck-focused company we know. Watch carefully in the video and you'll get a glimpse of the sporty coupe Rivian was...

According to our partner site CarsDirect, which pronounces this the best deal on the 2019 Audi E-Tron since its arrival, you can now save as much as... 
Hyundai’s decision to roll out its solar roof last week for the U.S. in the new version of the Sonata Hybrid—rather than the Sonata Plug-In Hybrid—seemed like a good albeit puzzling move. What piece of tech might it be saving for the plug-in, we wondered? Now the reason is apparent: There will be no Plug-In Hybrid for the new... 
One of the real eye-openers with electric vehicles can be how much more space there is to work with. Without the hulking internal combustion engine, the big multi-speed, multi-clutch transmission under the hood, exhaust system, the fuel tank and fuel pumps, and all the ancillary pieces, an EV can feel far more spacious on the inside than an...

This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending February 7, 2020. The biggest news event... 
General Motors has outlined its plan for an all-electric future, and it doesn’t include a single hybrid or plug-in hybrid. The Tesla Model Y has been rated for efficiency as well as driving range. And EVs outsold manuals. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The 2020 Tesla Model Y has been rated for range and efficiency by the EPA (at... 
Just a year ago, GM changed its tune about the possibility of hybrids—and plug-in hybrids like the much-loved Chevrolet Volt—in the company’s near-term future. Put simply, GM was finished with hybrids. There will be no follow-ups to the Volt, no long-rumored plug-in hybrid crossover, and even no more hybrids on the way. With the... 
Americans are gradually saying farewell to the possibility of manual transmissions in new cars, just as more families are discovering (and purchasing) electric vehicles. The two trendlines, it so happens, have been remarkably close to each other for the past few years—both with less than 2% of the market. But in 2019, according to Power... 
Tesla last month boasted that its Model Y electric crossover received a range boost before it was even released—to 315 miles. That number is official with results posted by the EPA yesterday. The Model Y Dual Motor also doesn’t disappoint relative to the already-great efficiency numbers for Tesla’s other vehicles. It earns an... 
General Motors CEO Mary Barra announced an accelerated sustainability push for the automaker Wednesday during a presentation for investors, and showed no sign of backing down from the company’s plan for an all-electric future that's out of sync with the talking points from either California or the Trump administration. “We believe... 
GM presents some more information about its electric vehicles, ahead of a deeper download next month. And the Hyundai Sonata will get free miles from the sun.

Compared to the company’s current EV platform, as...
