In coordination with Monterey Car Week, Audi has revealed an electric roadster concept called Skysphere. This flexible concept is the first of three “sphere” concepts, with the Grandsphere and Urbansphere to follow. As Audi teased last month, all three are developed by Audi’s Artemis team, which took form in 2020 and aims to...
The Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid gets priced in the same territory as the RAV4 Prime. Two wild off-road builds of on-road electric cars go to show how tough today’s EVs really are. And if Biden wants U.S.- and union-made EVs, which models fit that today? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. This morning, we had a little fun looking...
Why was Tesla left out last week? That question became something of a distraction on Thursday, when President Biden announced tighter emissions rules and more electric vehicles in the near future, framed in the context of more manufacturing jobs and the made-in-America laser focus that’s been a hallmark of his. White House press secretary...
Unlike its global rivals, the German carmaker has not set a date to phase out gas-powered cars, and investors aren’t pleased. BMW says its next model will prove critics wrong.
Off-road "safari" builds are all the rage for internal-combustion cars, and now the trend seems to be spreading to EVs as well, with two very different post-apocalyptic EV remixes appearing this week.

Today we look at why the proposed Biden administration rules last week are underwhelming in their EV targets. The Lexus UX 250h carries on as a high-mileage compact from the Toyota luxury brand. And are electric trailers a game-changer for long-distance towing with EVs? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. A German travel-trailer and...
With Biden fuel economy rules revealed late Thursday, the EPA expects that “strong hybrid” powertrains will make up just 5% of new sales in 2026, and plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles combined will make up just 8% then. For the past three years, plug-in vehicles have amounted to about 2% of U.S. light-duty sales, although...
The 2022 Lexus UX 250h hybrid luxury crossover enters the new model year with minor changes, continuing Lexus' strategy of emphasizing conventional hybrids over vehicles with charge ports. The only major change is the addition of new exterior colors, including Grecian Water (blue), Cloudburst Gray, and Cadmium Orange, and the option for body-color...
