Road-trip charging of electric cars doesn’t have to be so hard. That’s what Tesla has essentially proven with its Supercharger network, but as of yet, no other network has come close to providing the same level of reliability or uptime, or a consistent experience. That, and the mammoth charging infrastructure buildout necessary to...
Will a predictable, gas-station-like experience for getting a fully charged vehicle convince more last-mile delivery companies to shift to EVs? That’s the proposition from California-based Ample, which now says it can give electric trucks a full charge in five minutes, thanks to its second-generation battery-swapping system revealed in May...
Stellantis announced early Monday that it plans a second U.S. battery plant to help support American EV production. With a memorandum of understanding signed between Stellantis and Samsung SDI Monday, the companies seek to start production at the facility in 2027 and “an initial annual production capacity of 34 gigawatt-hours.” But the...
Nissan on Wednesday became the first Japanese automaker to confirm the switch to Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector in future EVs, starting in 2025. The transition will start in 2024 with a NACS adapter set to be made available for North American Ariya models, all currently equipped with CCS1 DC fast charging. That...
Volkswagen on Tuesday confirmed that it’s working on wireless electric car charging in its own patented coil and charging pad design with silicon-carbide materials, aimed partly toward daily garage use. The project goes well beyond that, though—into charge rates that are currently on the speedy side of DC fast-charging territory...
Ford gives its electric truck a big price cut. Europe plans to expand charging infrastructure—and hydrogen fueling. Tesla and BYD are reportedly considering an expansion into India. And Tesla made at least one Cybertruck. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. A nearly $10,000 price cut on the Ford F-150 Lightning means that at $51,990...
Tesla reported on Saturday that it’s built its first Cybertruck at its Austin factory. The announcement, which sets the stage for further discussion during Tesla’s quarterly update for shareholders Wednesday, was accompanied by no new information about the electric truck, or even a verification that this is truly a production model...
While the U.S.EV charging buildout happening as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law requires 150-kw DC fast chargers every 50 miles as part of a national charging network, Europe is already aiming a bit higher—with it’s built-in requirement for truck charging and hydrogen refueling by 2031. Europe’s vision includes a...
