Last summer Tesla changed suppliers for rear brakes on the Model Y Performance. Until that point, the vehicle came equipped with high-performance Brembo brakes front and rear, but all examples built after Tesla switched to Mando in August apparently now get smaller rear calipers and the same brake pads as fitted to the Model Y

As part of the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, we get a revamped federal EV tax credit. Now, there’s a credit of up to $4,000 for used EVs purchased at a dealership, but there are many rules in the bill that make it difficult to determine which cars qualify. Thankfully, Recurrent has many resources to

Tesla sharply reduced the prices for its Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3 and Model Y cars in China in an attempt to boost sales. This is the second price reduction in China within just over two months (the first one was 5-9 percent in late October), and as far as we know, the most significant one

The Fisker Ocean electric crossover is already in production in Austria, and the company expects to ship around 300 units in the first quarter of 2023, so it was just a matter of time until it allowed some sort of test drives. After MotorTrend journalists drove a pre-production prototype in November, Kyle Conner from Out

You may have started seeing reports that Tesla is now “offering” a round steering wheel for its refreshed Model S and Model X vehicles. While this is true, those stories really should say that the round steering wheel is now standard. In fact, when you configure the EVs on Tesla’s website, it defaults to the

Tesla’s Supercharger network is arguably the world’s largest EV charging chain, with over 40,000 stalls globally that offer up to 250 kW of power. But it’s not perfect, and Tesla drivers who tow frequently know it better than anybody else. Traditionally, a Tesla Supercharger location has its charging posts installed in such a way that

According to detailed calculations by Jon Stewart (Cleanerwatt), the all-new Tesla Semi is twice as efficient as the Ford F-150 pickup truck. Keep in mind, a Class 8 semi-truck weighs in at four to five times that of a gas- or diesel-powered F-150. Tesla is known for producing some of the most efficient vehicles on

According to the US Treasury Department, new EVs leased by consumers beginning January 1, 2023, may be eligible for as much as $7,500 in “commercial” tax credits. This apparently allows EVs assembled outside of North America to qualify. However, to be clear, there have been no changes to the original guidance related to the assembly

A group of environmentally-conscious adventure seekers embarked on an epic journey to drive the length of the Americas in electric cars in June 2022, and now, six months later, their trip has come to an end.

Electrification of the Port of Los Angeles, beside conventional charging solutions, includes also wireless fast charging systems for Class 8 electric trucks.

Tesla has continued to stand behind its guidance to achieve 50 percent delivery growth year over year. While it appears it may be closely in line to meet that target, some reports suggest it’s just not possible. However, according to data from Cox Automotive, the EV brand may actually come close to pulling it off,

Kia is getting ready to reveal its flagship electric model, the EV9 SUV, which should be unveiled in the first quarter of 2023.

California has passed a new law going into effect in 2023 that bans Tesla and other automakers from advertising their vehicles as “fully self driving.” The Senate Bill (SB) No. 1398, sponsored by Democratic state senator Lena Gonzales, effectively prohibits Tesla from using the Full Self-Driving (FSD) name for its Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS)

Derks, a hearse and limo maker based in the Netherlands, has revealed its latest custom build. Taking a Model 3 Standard Range Plus, the company fully transformed it into a hearse.

With winter well and truly upon us, you’d be lucky if you could squeeze in a quick ride without having to walk through snowy patches of snow every now and then.

Tesla stock (TSLA) has seen a dramatic drop this year, losing almost 70 percent through December 22 year to date.

Verdict 9.1 / 10 There’s no denying the appeal of the Kia EV6, with a maximum range of 310 miles and a 240-kilowatt charge rate. But with a fair amount of understeer and a suspension that’s tuned for urban streets instead of canyons, the EV6 backs up its aggressive styling with mere adequacy in the

The final design study in Audi’s “sphere” series is this coupe crossover teased with a top-down shot that reveals part of its design.

That’s a significant decrease (by some 33%) compared

When a photo of a bare Tesla Cybertruck body popped up online a few days ago many said that its rear was the result of a single-piece casting possibly created in the new 9,000-ton Giga press. However, now that Sandy Munro of Munro Live has had a look at the photo, he says that it’s

Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai and Genesis brands) reports that its global vehicle sales in November amounted to 351,179 units, which is 10.7% more than a year ago.

Electrify America has announced it has expanded the charging agreement it has with Kia America to include the new 2023 EV6 GT as well. As a result, first-time owners of the Kia EV6 GT will get 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of complimentary charging. That is the equivalent of about 3,500 to 4,000 miles (5,630-6,440 kilometers) of
