Why did Tesla sell a base Model Y with a bigger battery than needed? Why do rural communities see EV charging as less relevant? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending May 11, 2024. In a follow-up Hyundai Ioniq 6 test drive, Green Car Reports found that this electric sedan goes.

It’s hard to think of a more dramatic way to make an entrance than falling from the sky. While it certainly happens often enough on the silver screen, whether or not it can be done in real life is a tantalizing challenge for our entertainment robotics team at Disney Research. Falling is tricky for two reasons. The first and most obvious is what Douglas Adams referred to as “the sudden stop at the end.

General Motors (GM) is investing $390 million in Kansas for next-gen Chevy Bolt EV production. Last week, General Motors announced that it would end Chevy Malibu production, one of the last gas-powered sedans Chevrolet offers in the United States. The Chevy Malibu has been in production since the 1960s, but GM has decided to shift its focus to crossover or sport utility vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs).

In another recent article, I argued that automakers had better not become complacent when it comes to tariffs against Chinese EVs. Why? Because there’s no way that lasts forever. Market forces can’t be held back indefinitely, and eventually either buyers will pressure the government to lower the tariffs or other.

@GustavoMan627 In reply to GustavoMan627. There is very little battery swap in Europe and NO Battery Swap in the US. Hence, yes efficiency is very important. As Li Bin said, you pay alot for battery capacity , even with Battery Swap. Having an inefficient car, regardless of cost or size means you are just wasting range or performance or both. And battery SWAP by definition alone will always be less-efficient than an equivalent non-battery swap car.

Rely on the headlines and you’d be forgiven for thinking Tesla is about to fizzle out in an electrified puff as quickly as it arrived on the car scene. It’s turbulent times for the brand that has reshaped the industry with its electric car offerings. In the past few months Tesla sales globally have dropped for the first time since 2020, the share price has taken a hit, revenue has fallen and the company has announced it is shedding 10 per cent of its work force.

@Neehaw Asinine In reply to Neehaw Asinine. Well, if you have a battery swap within 3 km i think efficiency it's not a priority. Most if the people use their car inside the city and occasionally you do longer trips, 100km more range or less.in my view doesn't make any difference at least not for me.

@GustavoMan627 In reply to GustavoMan627. I think Efficiency should ALWAYS be the prime concern with any EV. Lucid is definitely the most efficient EV on the market and by a big margin. The fact that Mr Li Bin had to think about it over a whole CNY holiday to make a decision, speaks volumes as to why NIO is performing so badly compared to other EV OEMs.

Do you see other OEMs like BMW or Porsche showing stock videos of people in business suites or doing motorsports WITHOUT the respective cars, just to make the point that it's a business or sports car?

Kia has given us our first glimpse of its inbounded 2024 Kia EV3 that will do battle with the BYD Atto 3 and MG ZS at the bottom end of the EV market. Posting a single picture of the Kia EV3’s Signature Star Map front and rear lighting, it looks like little will change externally from the last year’s Kia EV3 concept. That means the production version is likely to keep its striking daytime-running lights, blade-style rear C-pillar and angular front fender.

The standardization of battery design and swapping systems among electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers is akin to the universal fuel compatibility in gasoline vehicles. It’s in the best interest of every EV manufacturer to adopt a common battery design for several compelling reasons. Firstly, it would significantly reduce production costs and complexity, as economies of scale could be achieved through uniform production processes.
