52+ min ago (445+ words) The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt online configurator has gone live on the automaker's website, which means customers can now check out all the different options and detailed pricing for each extra feature. I'll cut straight to the chase: this is not a Porsche, where you can scroll through endless optional package lists and tiny little cost-extra details. The new Bolt, much like its predecessor, is a down-to-earth car that's meant for the masses, so you're not going to find a lot of customization in the online configurator. There's only one optional color, Atomic Yellow. Just two trims are available, the LT and RS, and both come with the same 210-horsepower front-mounted electric motor and 65-kilowatt-hour LFP battery that enables a 255-mile range rating. Moreover, both can be fast-charged at up to 150 kilowatts via a new Tesla-style NACS charge port, which is a…...

2+ hour, 20+ min ago (861+ words) I recently attended Strutt's Demo Day to check out the company's new EV1 mobility device, and even if you've never paid attention to electric wheelchairs before, you'll still probably find this interesting. The EV1 isn't really a wheelchair in the traditional sense. It's closer to an autonomous robot that just happens to take the form of a chair. Imagine a self-driving car fused with a humanoid robot, shrunk down to indoor-outdoor mobility scale. That's the EV1. And after having spent some seat time in it, I can tell you that this technology is going to change lives. This isn't my normal scene " you're much more likely to see me testing out wild new e-bikes or powerful electric motorcycles. But I was intrigued by the idea of a new type of electric mobility device that had the potential to change not just the way…...

Deepak Reddy, a sales consultant at McGrath Chevyland in Cedar Rapids, was one of them. Reddy, who has been with the dealership since June 2024, said he worked with many drivers who were scrambling to purchase a discounted EV before the credits were formally repealed on Sept. 30, under the Trump administration's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law in July. "Especially in the last month of the credits, there was kind of a mad dash," Reddy said. The tax credits provided up to $7,500 for new…...

5+ hour, 43+ min ago (324+ words) Focus on developing cutting-edge ASSB materials. Posco Future M, the battery materials and chemicals unit of South Korea's Posco Group, announced it has signed an agreement with Factorial Inc, a US-based solid-state battery technology company, to collaborate on the development of next-generation battery technologies. Posco confirmed that the two companies plan to "explore cooperation in developing materials for all-solid-state batteries (ASSB), which are powering progress in next-generation industries such as electric vehicles, robotics, energy storage systems, and more." Factorial, headquartered in Massachusetts, said it decided to collaborate with Posco after its testing cathode material samples. The company has a pilot manufacturing operation in Cheonan, South Korea." ASSBs use solid electrolytes instead of liquid between cathodes and anodes, which makes them safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, while increasing energy density and improving charging performance. Posco has stepped up its R&D…...

6+ hour, 15+ min ago (493+ words) Lucid's upcoming midsize electric SUV might have a small edge over its U.S.-made rivals. The Tesla Model Y and Rivian R2 competitor, expected to be named the Lucid Earth, will be made in Saudi Arabia, a move that could help the automaker sidestep U.S. tariffs linked to Chinese components. Speaking at the UBS Global Industrials and Transportation Conference on Wednesday, Lucid's Chief Financial Officer, Taoufiq Boussaid, elaborated on how production in Saudi Arabia could protect the electric SUV from tariffs. "We found ourselves in a fortunate space having the option to manufacture the car in [Saudi Arabia]," Boussaid said. "What it does is it allows us basically to import from China part of the bill of materials without having to incur the significant duty," he added. 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring Last year, the Biden administration announced 100% tariffs on vehicle imports from China,…...

6+ hour, 15+ min ago (411+ words) The Kia Stinger didn't live a long life, but it sure made its mark on the car community. It was a fun rear-wheel drive sedan with proper road manners and interesting styling, so ever since its demise in 2023, rumors have been flying around about a potential replacement. Kia never said that it would resurrect the Stinger, but the company's President, Ho-sung Song, said last year that an all-new, electrified version of the beloved sedan was "under study." That added plenty of fuel to the rumor fire, and now Kia is at it again, with the reveal of the Vision Meta Turismo concept. To be clear, the South Korean automaker didn't say that the gold four-door fastback has anything to do with the Stinger nameplate, but logic dictates that this would be the right direction for it. Instead, the company described…...

7+ hour, 20+ min ago (306+ words) Published Dec 4, 2025 9:00 PM EST The Lexus LFR seems as if it was vaporware all along'as if some part of a misdirection campaign. But if you had the Lexus LFA returning as an EV in the future (And it looks like we did!) then you just hit a Bingo. The Lexus LFA Concept debuted just outside Fuji, Japan on Wednesday at Toyota's Woven City complex alongside the Toyota GR GT and Toyota GR GT3. If the LFA Concept looks familiar that's because it should, and it is. The car debuting is the very same Lexus Sport Concept that was revealed in August during 2025 Monterey car week. The car that debuted in California still hid its interior; that came during the Sport Concept's second debut in November at the Japan Mobility Show. Now the very same concept has morphed, but only in name....
