Porsche hesitates over heavy electric sports cars. A company claims the most power-dense motor. And BMW cuts the U.S. out of the plan for its iX3 electric SUV. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. If you think Porsche is ready to follow its Taycan with a fully electric sports car or two, that anticipation may be premature. The brand’s... 
After the i3 hatchback, BMW’s first widely available fully electric vehicle for the U.S. was supposed to be the iX3, a fully electric version of the German automaker’s top-selling vehicle, the X3 SUV. However BMW has now confirmed—as initially reported by Automotive News—that that the made-in-China iX3 will not be sold in... 
A company based in the United Kingdom claims to be developing the world's most power dense electric motor for automotive applications. Equipmake said its new Ampere motor will develop 20 kilowatts (27 horsepower) per kilogram. The company claims it is four times the power density of conventional motors.

The 100 stations have a total of 400 individual plugs, and span the...

American Honda Motor confirmed to Green Car Reports last week that the Clarity Electric was discontinued at the end of the 2019 model year and won’t be coming back again. In what was a very quiet last... 
Goodyear has developed a "self-generating" designed to extend the life of tires, as well as make them more adaptable to different conditions. The Goodyear ReCharge tire concept features a tread that can be replenished using fluid-filled capsules. So instead of replacing the whole tire, only the tread is replaced. In a new as-you-drive approach to... 
General Motors has been teasing the possibility of a Bolt EV-based crossover for nearly two and a half years. It’s been broadly assumed that such a model will offer a little more interior space and versatility than the current Bolt EV—as well as some chunkier design cues and all-wheel drive. GM will soon deliver some, but definitely...
