Lucid has just announced the adoption of the Tesla-developed North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging standard in its electric cars. The company will begin the switch from its current CCS1 charging inlet to the NACS inlet in North America in 2025. This is when Lucid will integrate NACS into its new vehicles and introduce an…
China has not just showcased a great political and regulatory will to embrace electric vehicle adoption, but Chinese brands have also delivered on their promises. We’re nowhere near praising US automakers for the same, at least not yet (apart from Tesla, of course). China has raced to become the world’s largest EV market, and some…
Lucid has just released additional teasers of the upcoming Lucid Gravity all-electric SUV, which will be fully unveiled at the upcoming LA Auto Show on November 16, 2023. The new video presents several elements of the vehicle, including its boxy and probably very spacious rear, along with front lights that remind us the Lucid Air…
The first video reviews of the 2025 Volvo EX30 are in, and it looks like the China-made electric crossover has won over the automotive media on both sides of the Atlantic. After all, what’s not to like about an all-electric Volvo subcompact that starts at $34,950 (plus a $1,195 destination fee), looks like a mini-me version…

So can a Tesla Model 3 handle that kind of punishment long-term? Yes and no, according to Dobson, a Model 3…
Electrify America, one of the U.S.’ largest EV fast-charging networks, this month opened its first station in North Dakota. It’s an important step to expand the network nationwide along major routes coast-to-coast. As we can see on the map, there are still big gaps in the northern part of the country, where the EV infrastructure…
The $7,500 federal clean vehicle credit, introduced last year as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, was a big step in America’s move toward electrification. Both U.S. car companies and the government have really pushed for people to take advantage of these incentives. But here’s the kicker: a recent poll indicated that most Americans don’t…
The facelifted Tesla Model 3, also known as “Project Highland” during its development process, is not yet available in the United States – although deliveries are already underway in Europe and other parts of the world are already underway.
