The race is on to sell an electric car that doesn't look like an economy hatchback or a luxury sedan.

DON'T MISS: Rivian R1T... 
General Motors' announcement last week that Cadillac will become its lead brand for electric cars is a radical change in strategy.

For a bunch of electric-car owning acolytes, our readers are surprisingly sanguine about the reduction and eventual expiration of plug-in tax credits on electric-car sales.

Despite the U.S., Australia, Russia, Saudi Arabia and others meeting on the sidelines to promote burning coal, the leaders reached some agreements on how the Paris Climate Accords will be implemented when it goes into effect in 2020: Each... 
People wish for all kinds of things. When it comes to electric cars, there are several types of things green car fans may wish for to get more such cars on the road, from easier charging to more tax credits, to more types of models.

After Elon Musk's announcement last week imploring Tesla owners to try the company's new Navigate on Autopilot software, and promising that the system will allow Teslas to commute from home to work and back without intervention, left us wondering if our readers are equally optimistic about the system. So we decided to ask in our weekly Twitter... 
When General Motors announced in November that it would stop production of the Chevrolet Volt, it was a shock to many green car fans' systems. The Volt was one of the first two modern electrically powered cars to go on sale in 2010, and is still the longest-range plug-in hybrid on the market. Its faults are few, though perhaps critical: Mostly...

With all the news about environmental program roll-backs, the dire warnings about rising ocean temperatures and the impending effects of global warming, and the fraying of global alliances meant to address it, it is tempting to overlook progress that is happening.
