Buying an electric car can be exciting and bewildering. Consider what kind of car you want and need and where you will charge.
Synthetic fuels don’t make sense, argues an environmental group. Ford could ramp up production of EV battery cells by the middle of the decade. And a fix is in at last for the Bolt EV issue that’s kept owners from tapping into full range. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Ford says that it might build its own batteries as soon...
Fueled with money from Wall Street and local officials, automakers plan to build eight million electric cars a year there, more than Europe and North America combined.
As buzz around synthetic fuels builds, the Europe-focused environmental group Transport & Environment (T&E) cautions that vehicles burning these supposedly greener fuels may cause more carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions than battery-powered vehicles, and cost more as well. That's the conclusion T&E voiced in a position paper asking...

The automaker doesn't have the scale justify its own battery factory now, but that will change in the next few years with launch of more EVs for the North...
Citroën EVs might soon be available in some U.S. cities. Another hydrogen-tech company is planning a fuel-cell supercar. The fully electric F-150 might be badged F-150 Lightning. And not everyone who goes electric stays electric. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Ford is reportedly bringing back the F-150 Lightning name for its fully...
United Kingdom-based startup Viritech is developing a hydrogen fuel-cell hypercar, but it doesn't plan to become a full-time automaker. Rather, the Viritech Apricale will serve as a flashy demonstrator for the startup's hydrogen tech. The Apricale was announced in January, and in April Viritech said development work would take place at the MIRA...
Citroën is returning to the United States, albeit on a very limited basis. Last week the Free2Move mobility service operated by the French automaker's parent company announced in a LinkedIn post that it would add the Citroën Ami EV to its Washington, D.C. car-sharing operation.
