We're slowly learning more about Henrik Fisker's planned 300-mile electric car, as the designer has now released a pair of teaser photos of the vehicle.

The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is a far, far better plug-in hybrid than its predecessor. It defaults to electric-only operation, it has 25 miles of EPA-rated electric range, and in electric operation, it is by far the most energy-efficient vehicle you can buy this year in the U.S. And when it reverts to running as a standard hybrid car, it's rated at...

But Infiniti's on-again, off-again electric car may now be back on again. RELATED: Infiniti... 
The Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel-cell car can now add a motorsport victory—of sorts—to its resume of accomplishments. A Mirai sedan won the 2016 e-Rally Monte Carlo, a rally exclusively for zero-emission vehicles held earlier this month in Monaco. The winning Mirai was one of three in the event, which required competitors to cover more... 
For the past couple of years, rumors about a potential Apple Car have garnered as much attention as any new product from an established automaker.

If Judge Charles Breyer signs the final settlement among Volkswagen, the EPA, and a California agency tomorrow, buyback offers will start to go out sometime next month to owners of almost half a million VW and Audi diesel cars.

All this and more on Green... 
The Toyota Mirai has taken the lead in U.S. sales of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, though it was beaten to market early last year by the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell. Through September, Toyota has sold 710 of its four-person Mirai sedan—though up to half of those sales came in August to employees and others connected to Toyota. We're close to... 
At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), startup Faraday Future said it would put an electric car into production within two years. But one of those two years has almost elapsed without any hint of what that production car will be like. Faraday Future now says it will unveil its first production model at CES 2017 in January, though. DON'T... 
It appears that Toyota's hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles plans encompass more than just passenger cars.

Is there a future for the high-tech vehicles designed for maximum efficiency when battery-electric powertrains are rolling into conventional cars as well? The answer to that... 
More than a year after Volkswagen's use of illegal "defeat device" software in diesel cars came to light, the company is close to achieving a settlement with regulators and customers for the majority of affected cars. A settlement for the 482,000 affected VW TDI cars equipped with 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engines received preliminary approval at the... 
In the updated "master plan" for Tesla Motors he released in July, CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla plans to continue pursuing self-driving cars, as well as a company-managed sharing service. Musk described a scheme in which owners could rent out their autonomous Teslas as part of a ride-sharing service, then summon them back when needed. Tesla took...
