A Hyundai Kona Electric went more than 600 miles in a closed-course test, but only when driven at slow speeds with all accessories turned off. The result, which Hyundai claims is a range record for a vehicle with this size battery pack, is more than double the Kona Electric's 258-mile EPA-rated range. It shows how much range can be extracted from... Hyundai Kona Electric goes more than 600 miles—if you go 20 mph

Electric cars don't just save the environment, they also save lots of money, according to a new Northwestern University study.

The settlement addresses claims involving emissions-control systems on 250,000... 
London already has the largest electric bus fleet of anywhere in Europe. And now it’s hosting the trial site of the world’s largest vehicle-to-grid (V2G) trial site. Put simply, V2G technology will allow a small amount of the charge from connected electric buses, when they’re not out in use, to help stabilize the peaks and... 
Which upcoming electric vehicle might earn an EPA rating of more than 500 miles? Which EV might share its production location with the Jaguar I-Pace? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending TKTKTK, 2018. Hyundai announced that it’s rebooting its Ioniq nameplate into an... 
We take the Polestar 2 for a drive, see how batteries can make fast-charging more flexible, and look at how batteries themselves might not need to be in one big pack. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. The battery supplier CATL says that by the end of the decade it hopes to have a system in which automakers can place battery cells in...
