Which California EV startup is partnering with Hyundai? And which California EV startup is aiming for a Tesla-topping 400-mile range? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending February 14, 2020. Electric cars are getting cleaner all the time, as coal plants are retired and more... 
Towing an EV1 with an E-Tron helps deliver a reality check on towing. The 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid tops the efficiency scales if you can’t plug in. California’s permitting process for charging stations still lags. And electric vehicles are much cleaner than they were less than a decade ago. This and more, here at Green Car... 
California has by far the most electric cars of any state, but the permitting process for new charging stations can take substantially longer than elsewhere. A new bill introduced in the California State Assembly aims to address that. The bill would streamline the permitting process for charging stations by amending Section 65850.75 of... 
Toyota appears to be focusing its hybrid sales toward SUVs and larger vehicles; and if you consider big family vehicles like the Highlander, capable of carrying up to eight, there’s a lot of efficiency to be gained in going hybrid. Over the past week, results posted by the EPA have confirmed exactly how significant that gain is. The... 
For those who care about the environment and keeping their driving footprint small, one of the most compelling selling points for electric cars is that your car gets cleaner over time—because the electricity you’re plugging into, from the power grid, is being weaned off coal and toward cleaner and more sustainable sources. This... 
The Audi E-tron is one of a handful electric cars currently rated for towing. Audi recently showed off that capability with a very special payload. An E-tron towed a trailer containing a General Motors EV1—the first modern electric car—from Tulsa Tech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the Fully Charged Live electric-car event at Circuit of the... 
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. Tesla is recalling about 15,000 early Model X SUVs in North... 
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... 
When it comes to making cars friendlier to the environment, emissions are only part of the equation. The materials and production processes used must be considered as well. So Volvo's electric Polestar brand is looking to use more sustainable materials in future models. The all-electric Polestar 2 has a vegan interior, but the brand said it plans...
