You’ve got to be kidding. That was my reaction when I first heard that the fastest Porsche SUV ever was also a plug-in hybrid with what Porsche claimed to be meaningful all-electric range. To skeptics, this 670-horsepower machine with a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph might read as a grudge-match move—a...

Another report emphasizes the importance of making ride-hailing all-electric. Fisker is moving ahead with development. And we plugged in the fastest Porsche SUV ever. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Fisker announced that it’s getting new funding to push ahead with development of its Ocean electric vehicle—and that it’s... 
Electric cars could deliver even greater environmental benefits if they were to be used by ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft than if they were to go to private use, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis. Replacing a gasoline ride-hailing vehicle with an EV can deliver three times the carbon reduction of a...

Supplies are already pinched for the RAV4 Prime. London’s black cab tries on plug-in delivery-van duty. And another plug-in hybrid Audi is U.S.-bound. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Audi has confirmed that the A7 plug-in hybrid fastback is arriving to U.S. showrooms this fall. With a heat pump for the climate control and... 
Toyota confirmed Wednesday that “unforeseen battery supply constraints” may keep its RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid in short supply through at least the end of this year. The automaker had stated last month that it would be targeting 20,000 RAV4 Prime sales per year in the U.S., with an initial 5,000 deliveries anticipated through the end... 
The company that made London's iconic black cab greener is now doing the same with delivery vans. London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) is using its extended-range electric taxi as the basis for a new van. Called the VN5, it's currently available to order, with deliveries of right-hand drive vehicles for the United Kingdom scheduled to begin... 
Audi is adding a third plug-in hybrid model to its United States lineup.

The A7 plug-in hybrid uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 gasoline engine and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with an... 
Lucid says more about how it plans to sell and support the Air electric car. The former Smart factory, a hub for electric-car expertise, might be put to task building thirsty SUVs. Audi pulls the wraps off a more dynamic-looking version of the Q4 E-Tron, and its specialized EV team is reportedly working on an electric flagship for the brand. This...

The former Smart factory in Hambach, France, became all-electric when the brand dropped its gasoline models, and was initially planned to continue making electric cars for fellow Daimler division Mercedes-Benz. Instead, the factory may build gasoline and diesel SUVs. That's...
