General Motors CEO Mark Reuss says consumers won't gravitate toward EVs until they deliver more range and faster charging, but even his own company, which is one of the highest-volume EV sellers in the country, doesn't offer either. His remarks were part of an op-ed penned for CNN, the contents of which won't come as much surprise to most who... Thank you for not buying: GM president points to EVs that aren’t here yet
General Motors CEO Mark Reuss says consumers won't gravitate toward EVs until they deliver more range and faster charging, but even his own company, which is one of the highest-volume EV sellers in the country, doesn't offer either. His remarks were part of an op-ed penned for CNN, the contents of which won't come as much surprise to most who... 
Like nearly all global automakers, BMW has decided it doesn’t want to manufacture battery cells. How does it maintain an edge on the battery side—and characteristics that are a good match for the automaker—when it’s potentially using what look like the same “commodity cells” as other automakers? The answer to... 
When Ford first formed a strategic partnership with Rivian this past April, specifying that Ford would build an all-new fully electric vehicle using RIvian’s skateboard platform, it was widely anticipated that such an upscale product would be offered by Ford’s Lincoln luxury brand. Now we have some level of confirmation of that... 
The new fully electric vehicle from Lexus isn’t coming to the U.S. Karma punches up the performance with its Revero GTS. Evergrande stays the course on its home market, China. And the Ford Escape Hybrid earns some excellent safety scores. This and more today at Green Car Reports. Lexus has a new fully electric model, the UX300e. It’s... 
China's Evergrande is significantly scaling back its investments into electric vehicles thanks to slowing sales of environmentally friendly cars. Evergrande invested approximately $2.9 billion into EV ventures this year; that number will drop to $2.1 billion in 2020 and $1.4 billion in 2021, South China Morning Post reports. Meanwhile, EV sales in... 
Not to be left out of the tempest of EV news surrounding the Los Angeles Auto Show, reincarnated EV hopeful Karma showed off its new high-performance, longer-range Revero GTS last week, with a sticker price of $149,950—less than $15,000 more than the GT. The Revero GTS doesn't push the existing GT formula too much farther, but it is the... 
The Ford Escape lineup has improved on multiple fronts this year—and not just with the return of the far more fuel-efficient Escape Hybrid. The other major front of improvement is being proven by third-party tests: safety. The 2020 Escape lineup was rated earlier this month by the IIHS as a Top Safety Pick. The IIHS confirmed to Green Car... 
Lexus is launching an all-electric variant of its compact UX crossover just about everywhere but the United States, the company announced Friday, dipping its toes into a market it has traditionally shunned. The 2020 Lexus UX 300e packs a 54.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack powering a 150-kilowatt (201-horsepower) motor driving the front wheels. The... 
Faraday Future shows its production FF91 interior. GM puts a solid arrival date on its electric pickup. BMW says REx has no future. Byton has started preparing for charging and sales in the U.S. Karma talks about trucks, too. And how has the Cybertruck changed your priorities for an electric truck? This and more, today at Green Car Reports. Last... 
Electric-car hopeful Faraday Future showed off the interior of its FF 91 luxury EV last week, giving us a glimpse of what still might (emphasis on might) be in store for the Chinese automaker—if it can get its act together. We've known what Faraday Future wants to do with the FF 91 luxury sedan's exterior for several years now. We also know... 
Chinese EV startup Byton has taken steps to establish its foothold in the United States, entering into a partnership with the Volkswagen-backed Electrify America charging network ahead of the global launch of its M-Byte crossover. The partnership will grant owners of Byton's M-Byte (and presumably future models) two years of unlimited... 
Tesla may have swooped in at the last minute and stolen the show in Los Angeles this week, but the ever-frisky Karma has its own pickup pitch: an extended-range EV for commercial applications. Karma's pitch is a bit less concrete than Tesla's. Rising from the ashes of Fisker, Karma is merely interested in building luxury and high-performance... 
The rapid progress of lithium-ion battery-cell energy density and the growth of fast-charging networks have together helped write the epitaph for BMW’s range-extending technology, badged REx on the BMW i3. “It has no future,” replied Jan Freimann, BMW’s manager for connected e-mobility and one of the company’s battery... 
The Tesla Cybertruck revealed Thursday night was polarizing and thought-provoking, to say the least. It’s radically different than any other pickup truck ever proposed in the sort of volume Tesla’s order numbers—around 150,000 as we write this—are suggesting. Other electric trucks from Rivian, GM, Ford, and Lordstown Motors... 
Which automaker introduced an electric sport wagon concept? Which electric SUV earned top five-star safety ratings? From Mach-E and Space Vizzion to the Cybertruck, this is our sci-fi-inspired look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending November 22, 2019. The Tesla Cybertruck dominated the... 
In an address to the Barclays 2019 Global Automotive Conference Thursday, GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed that the company’s battery-electric truck will arrive in fall 2021. The announcement confirms a timeline that first emerged in a Reuters report last month, citing multiple sources familiar with the plans. “General Motors understands... 
We wrap up coverage from the LA auto show. Bridgestone turns to black to make its tires greener. The E-tron earns another great safety rating. And the Cybertruck has landed. This and more, today at Green Car Reports. The Tesla Cybertruck has been revealed. It delivers on many of CEO Elon Musk’s earlier teases and claims about the truck, and... 
Bridgestone is the first tire company to use recovered carbon black in the large-scale manufacturing of new tires, paving the way for reductions in carbon emissions in an industry that has long been plagued by waste issues. Carbon black is fundamentally a particulate byproduct of the incomplete combustion of petroleum products. Tire manufacturers... 
The 2019 E-Tron was awarded five stars in government crash testing, Audi announced Tuesday, adding to its new EV's safety top-notch credentials. The E-Tron's five-star overall rating was bolstered by its performance in the government's side-impact and rollover testing, earning five stars for both front and rear passengers in all side impact... 
Is Tesla really serious about its radically different Cybertruck, revealed by CEO Elon Musk to a packed room of fans Thursday night? It’s serious enough to already price the truck, open it up for orders, and lock in many specs. The design, which looks like it might be labeled a concept car is indeed part steampunk, part sci-fi-influenced...
