Vegan interiors aren’t enough at Polestar. The possibility of rusty bolts prompts a Model X recall. Lucid says it’s not going to add range “the dumb way.” And the first electric fire truck for the U.S. has sold at last. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.

The Lucid Air electric sedan that goes into production late this year won’t quite be the Lucid Air that the company had originally planned. By all indications, from Lucid’s CEO Peter Rawlinson, that’s a good thing. Portions of the company ground to a halt for a funding-imposed austerity from 2017 until last spring, when a new... 
While cities are generally ahead of the curve when it comes to electrifying fleets, the hard reality is that some types of heavy-duty vehicles—like fire trucks—simply don't exist yet in fully electric form. Case in point: The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) will be the first North American agency to take delivery of an electric fire...

And the Lucid Air does indeed benefit from Formula E. This and more, today at Green Car Reports. Hyundai is partnering with California-based Canoo...

And yet, in the first four seasons of racing teams swapped Formula E cars to a different, freshly charged car, halfway through the race. “The raison d’etre for Formula E was to exemplify and demonstrate the prowess of... 
The New York City government has made another bold proclamation in favor of electric cars. Mayor Bill de Blasio issued an executive order calling for all vehicles in the municipal fleet to be fully electric by 2040. That includes not only cars, but everything from ambulances and police cruisers to garbage trucks and ferries, according to a press... 
The current-generation Volkswagen Passat is an aging entry in a shrinking segment, but it could soon get an all-electric makeover. In its current form, the Passat is not long for this world, Johan de Nysschen, Volkswagen of America's chief operating officer, said in an interview with Roadshow. He went on to say that "it's probably a reasonable...
