49+ min ago (1069+ words) As 2025 draws to a close, it is the perfect time to reflect on EV sales for the year and take a look at the biggest trends that are occurring. Several things clearly stood out once I finished entering the November sales data and updating the cumulative charts shown below. Before looking at the trends it is worth calling out the total BEV sales increase year over year, as I still had someone just the other day ask why EV sales are falling. With 92,885 BEV sales reported by FCAI and EVC up to November 2025, we have already beaten the 2024 total of 91,293 and are comfortably on track for at least 10% growth this year. A large part of that growth comes down to BYD boosting their sales significantly as well as other Chinese newcomers hitting the ground running, more than offsetting the decline…...

2+ hour, 57+ min ago (538+ words) The Toyota GR GT sports car follows the legacy of the 2000GT and Lexus LFA, with a newly-developed 4.0-litre twin-turbo hybrid V8. The Toyota GR GT "road-legal race car" has debuted ahead of an expected global launch in 2027, alongside the GR GT3 race car. Toyota says the GR GT builds on the legacy of the Toyota 2000GT and the Lexus LFA, with the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car introducing a newly-developed V8 petrol-electric hybrid engine. The 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged eight-cylinder petrol engine is matched to an eight-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission and a single electric motor integrated within the rear transaxle, for a targeted output of 478kW and 850Nm "or greater". A low centre of gravity has been achieved through a "significantly lowered" dry-sump lubrication system, rear-mounted transaxle, and other major components.

3+ hour, 2+ min ago (345+ words) Well, it was inevitable; winter is upon us. Before the snow starts falling, experts say drivers, regardless of whether they drive a gas or electric vehicle, should be "winter road ready." But, for EV owners, this also means getting your vehicle ready to maximize efficiency in the cold. "EVs have a lot of great functionality. They're great for winter driving," said Ingrid Malmgren with Plug in America. Ingrid said electric vehicle owners need to think about battery charge, pre-heating the cabin and tires once the temperatures dip. "An EV and a gas car are exactly alike when it comes to tires and winter tires. So, if you normally get snow tires in the winter, totally get snow tires," she said. Ingrid said EVs get great traction in both ice and snow. And that is for a couple of reasons. "One…...

3+ hour, 47+ min ago (225+ words) There's a saying down in Texas: if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes for it to change. But when you're investing in tires for your electric vehicle, you want something that's going to be ready for a variety of temperatures and weather conditions. And let's face it: not all tires are up to the task of EV duty, especially on electric trucks. But Hankook's line of iON evo tires will be up for the job. We went down to Electrify Expo Dallas with EV expert and internet personality Drake Moschkau to learn more about how these EV-specific tires are different from the rest." Check out Drake's exclusive video above to learn more about Hankook's iON tires, and how they could transform your electric vehicle experience."

4+ hour, 17+ min ago (181+ words) Subaru has unveiled an all-new model, the Trailseeker. This all-electric sport utility starts at a little under $50,000 and will enter the market in early 2026. Subaru drops all-new 2026 Trailseeker EV surprise Subaru has unveiled an all-new model, the Trailseeker. This all-electric sport utility starts at a little under $50,000 and will enter the market in early 2026. The 2026 Trailseeker will feature 375 horsepower (276 kW) and 0-60 mph (92 km/h) acceleration under 4.5 seconds. Estimated range is 280 miles (451 km) and charging is via the North American Charging Standard (NACS / Tesla plug) at up to 150 kW. Subaru says that a revised version of its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD) system will be included with the new EV, including Subaru's X-MODE control system. The Trailseeker has 8.3 inches (21 cm) of ground clearance. There will be three trim levels for the Trailseeker, the Premium base model, the Limited middle offering, and the Touring top…...

4+ hour, 45+ min ago (542+ words) The Lexus LFA may be coming back. A short-lived and long-dead V10 supercar, the LFA could get new life as an all electric sports car, paired to Toyota's upcoming gas-powered GR GT3. It's not confirmed for production yet, but with Toyota finally getting serious about EVs, the LFA looks like a prime opportunity for a true halo EV. On its own, renaming a concept isn't extremely substantial. But the mere oddity of it suggests importance: Why go through all of the hassle of renaming a concept if you don't intend to produce it? As it sits, the LFA is following a similar path as other Lexus concepts. It started as a trial balloon, and is getting more serious as its time gets closer." But Lexus has every reason to be cautious. The previous-generation was a V-10-powered, high-revving screamer of a supercar, with…...

5+ hour, 12+ min ago (531+ words) Friday, December 5, 2025 Australia-originated energy storage innovator Gelion says it has cleared a major new milestone for its sulfur battery technology that brings it a step closer to commercialisation and to being competitive with lithium-ion batteries. The UK-listed company announced on Thursday that its proprietary cathode active material (CAM) has crossed a key threshold demonstrating stable cycling, using the industry standard platform for evaluating new battery materials." In more technical terms, Gelion's CAM has crossed the threshold of 4Q areal capacity (~4mAh/cm) in coin cells " "areal capacity' being a measure of how much electrical charge an electrode can store per unit of surface area. Gelion say this is widely regarded as a key milestone for high energy density sulfur cathodes, demonstrating that they can be processed into thicker, high structural integrity electrodes and take them a "critical step" closer to high energy density…...

5+ hour, 57+ min ago (687+ words) Yes, Virginia, there are still great EV lease deals to be had in December. Hyundai continues to offer EV leases for under $200 a month, and the BMW i4 can be leased for the same price it was when the federal tax credit was still in effect.

6+ hour, 43+ min ago (328+ words) One of the most striking takeaways is how closely e-cargo bike efficiency now mirrors that of traditional delivery vans. Tern reports that some fleets are pulling 300-pound (136 kg) loads and hitting 360 deliveries per day, averaging more than 22 deliveries per hour. That puts these pedal-assist workhorses squarely in van territory " but with far lower operating costs, zero tailpipe emissions, and a much smaller footprint on crowded city streets." The Bosch motor systems powering the fleet have also held up under extreme use. According to the company, motor failures are rare, batteries continue delivering consistent performance well beyond their rated life, and Bosch's service network has proven fast and reliable when issues do arise. " While these systems are clearly built to withstand commercial punishment, Tern notes that this is the same hardware sold through its consumer dealers. "Running sixteen hours a day…...

7+ hour, 5+ min ago (347+ words) Vermonters, rejoice. The electric Subaru Outback is almost here, and it has more range than we expected." The 2026 Subaru Trailseeker'not officially an electric Outback, but that's what it is effectively'will have an estimated 280 miles of range when it goes on sale early next year, the company announced on Thursday." When the Trailseeker first broke cover earlier this year as Subie's second-ever electric vehicle, the company touted a less impressive range of "more than 260 miles." It may only by 20 extra miles, but psychologically at least, I think 280 miles sounds a lot more appealing Pricing just got announced too. The Trailseeker starts at $39,995 for the base Premium trim, before destination fees. That's a $5,000 premium over the latest Outback. Actually not bad, though the Outback has ballooned to full-blown SUV proportions and is a slightly bigger vehicle."Total cargo space for the Outback…...
