We drive the first plug-in Dodge and get PowerShots. Hyundai shows a charging robot that could be used for self-driving cars or accessibility features.

The electric Explorer that was revealed isn’t due to ever be sold in the U.S.—although Ford... 
A lack of standards for repair and replacement of EV battery packs may lead to higher insurance premiums, according to a recent Reuters report (via Automotive News).
