From electric vans to entry-level SUVs, Kia now has an EV for nearly everyone. After sales jumped 88% in the second quarter, Kia expects demand to pick up in the second half of 2026.

One of the easiest ways to get my attention is to slap the word “premium” on an affordable e-bike. Sometimes it’s justified. Other times it’s… aspirational.

NHTSA has denied a petition asking it to open a defect investigation into the hidden manual door releases on the Tesla Model 3. But in the same decision, the agency agreed to start writing new door-safety rules for the entire auto industry.

The denial, published today, covers 179,031 model year 2022 Model 3 vehicles. NHTSA said it found exactly one complaint matching the petition’s allegation — and it came from the same owner who filed it.

If you’ve ever wished you could buy one electric vehicle that could evolve with your needs instead of replacing it every time your use case changes, a Canadian company thinks it has the answer.

ENVO Drive Systems has unveiled its new Utility Personal Transporter (UPT), a modular electric vehicle platform that can be configured into as many as 18 different vehicle types, with even more combinations possible through optional accessories and upgrades.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) cut the ribbon on the state’s first federally-funded EV charging station this week, after energizing new high-speed chargers at a Phillips 66 Mach 1 station in Casey, IL.

Hyundai skipped the typical mid-cycle refresh and instead gave the Kona a complete overhaul. The first image of it leaked, revealing a taller, SUV-like design.

Schneider Electric has just given its Charge Pro commercial Level 2 EV charger a sweet upgrade that includes NACS support, app-free charging, and a quicker setup process.

BYD launched its luxury sub-brand Denza in Europe with a little help from James Bond himself. The Denza Z9 GT EV can recharge in as little as 5 minutes, drive nearly 400 miles on a single charge, and looks like something straight out of an action movie.

Some Massachusetts EV owners will soon be able to earn incentives for sending electricity from their car batteries back to the grid when demand spikes.

Volvo is already calling it a game-changing electric SUV. The new 2027 EX60 now has an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 330 miles, making it the longest-range EV Volvo offers.

The second day of racing at this year’s Electrek Formula Sun Grand Prix concluded late last night, with the finalization of lap results. The third and final day of racing is now underway, with 30 teams cleared for the track and 12 qualified to compete in the cross-country Electrek American Solar Challenge.

I expect the latter number to increase significantly by the end of the day.

There are few recent advances in the transportation industry that have had as large of an impact on the shifting ways we travel around our cities than micromobility. I’m talking bikes, scooters, mopeds, self-balancing doo-hickeys, etc.

And there are a lot of hills I’m willing to die on in the micromobility world. But one of them is that we need to stop defining such vehicles by what they look like and start defining them by what they do.

Ford announced plans to build a rugged new Bronco and an electric crossover with China’s Geely as part of a new alliance.

Tesla stock is down more than 12% today, wiping out over $140 billion in market value, after the automaker’s Q2 2026 earnings missed on profit and free cash flow turned negative.

The slide got worse during the earnings call, when Elon Musk repeated the same robotaxi and Optimus promises he’s been making for years.

Ford’s upcoming electric vehicles will have Apple Maps built in, offering drivers turn-by-turn directions, EV routing, and more.

A Tesla solar customer went to pull up their lease agreement in their Tesla account this month and found something other than a contract waiting for them: the Book of Enoch, an ancient apocalyptic text about fallen angels.

Not a scanned copy of their agreement. Not an error page. The full text of a roughly 2,000-year-old religious book, sitting exactly where their legally binding solar lease was supposed to be. Electrek confirmed it.

Global electricity use is growing again, but renewables are expected to overtake coal as the world’s largest source of electricity this year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Full autonomy, production numbers, and a real push towards electrification that’s moving global markets? We must be talking about electric forklifts! On today’s uplifting episode of Quick Charge, we’ve got Big Joe CMO Martin Boyd here to walk us through some of the ways these battery powered equipment assets are making all our lives better.

Elon Musk was asked directly on Tesla’s Q2 2026 earnings call whether the company still plans to upgrade Hardware 3 (HW3) cars so they can run its latest “Full Self-Driving” software. His answer made one thing clear: Tesla still has no concrete plan.

Instead of committing to a fix, Musk floated a grab-bag of options and timelines — none of them firm — for the millions of vehicles Tesla sold with the promise that they had “all the hardware necessary” for self-driving.

Elon Musk hinted at a merger between Tesla and SpaceX on Tesla’s Q2 2026 earnings call, pointing to “more and more overlap” between the two companies he controls.

He stopped short of confirming anything, deferring to Tesla’s general counsel and “the appropriate process” — but the exchange is the closest Musk has come to addressing the merger speculation directly.

Tesla told shareholders this week that its Robotaxi service is expanding. The company’s own chart proves it isn’t.

In its Q2 2026 update, Tesla leaned on a cumulative “paid Robotaxi miles” chart climbing past 2.4 million miles as its headline proof of momentum. But break that curve into quarters and the growth flatlines: Robotaxi added roughly 900,000 paid miles in Q2 2026, the same as it did in Q1.

Subaru confirmed that production of the Getaway EV is being delayed, following Toyota’s decision to delay its first three-row electric SUV.

Tesla (TSLA) released its financial results and shareholders’ letter for the second quarter (Q2) 2026 after market close today. We are updating this post with all the details from the financial results, shareholders’ letter, and the conference call later tonight.

The earnings call with management is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET.

Ford F-150 Lightning or hybrid owners can now use their trucks to keep hard-wired home essentials running during an outage by connecting their truck directly to their home’s main electrical panel. And even better, it’s affordable.

France’s Transport Minister, Philippe Tabarot, says the country won’t authorize Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (Supervised) “as it currently stands,” pointing to two safety problems: the system lets drivers speed, and it doesn’t keep them attentive enough in cities.

But this isn’t France slamming the door on Tesla. It’s France refusing to rubber-stamp the Netherlands’ national approval and holding out for a proper EU-wide sign-off.

At the front of our midweek Green Deal’s pack is the current Anker SOLIX Summer Camp Outlet Sale with up to $1,496 savings on power stations + exclusive bonus savings – all starting from $189. Right behind it is HiEHA’s CarPlay-equipped SU8 2.0 Smart Moped-Style e-bike down...

Tesla reported 207 crashes involving its driver-assist systems in a single month — the most it has ever logged. The figure comes from Tesla’s own crash reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The record month lands as Tesla pushes Full Self-Driving harder than ever, and as the company continues to redact nearly every detail of what actually happened in these crashes.

A new design patent surfaced that may offer a closer look at Hyundai’s upcoming body-on-frame SUV.

Laos did something no other country has tried: it banned the import of new gas and diesel passenger cars outright. As of June 1, nearly every new car cleared for import has to be electric.

It’s the most aggressive EV mandate on the planet right now, and it has almost nothing to do with consumer demand.
