Tesla Finally Grants Owners Control Of The Charging Port Heater

The Best And Worst Times To Charge Your EV This Thanksgiving

What Tesla Autopilot And Full-Self Driving Can And Can't Do

Tesla’s success has been a major impetus behind the push toward electric vehicles. But the brand has been angling itself toward another, even more transformational shift: autonomous driving.

Rolls-Royce Spectre: How Electricity Makes It Even Better

The exit road at the BMW Performance Center parking lot in Spartanburg, South Carolina, was narrow and dotted with tightly spaced orange cones. I carefully guided the 5.5-metre (215.5 inches) long Rolls-Royce Spectre out of this lot before turning onto the highway entry ramp. I sat near the rear axle,…

Kia Eyes PHEVs With 60 Miles Of Electric Range: Here In 'A Couple Of Years'

America Finally Got A Great, Cheap EV. Trump May Ruin It.

Americans have been clamoring for an affordable, long-range electric car for years. Elon Musk shelved plans for a $25,000 Tesla—one that isn't a moonshot robotaxi, at least. But General Motors finally made one in 2024.

Trump's 25% Tariffs Would Hit These EVs The Hardest

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to sign an executive order for a sweeping 25% tariff on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada when he takes office on January 20. Trump revealed the plan on Monday on his social media platform, Truth Social, and the move could disrupt global trade…

Rivian CEO Says The Tesla Model Y Is Still The Best EV Under $50,000

There's no denying the fact that the Tesla Model Y is the best-selling electric car in the world, but is it the best electric car available today? If we add "for under $50,000" to that question, then the answer seems to be a "yes," according to Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe.

This Rivian R1T Vs. Tesla Cybertruck Test Proves EPA Range Isn't The Full Story

Rivian knows customers care about range, which is why the company offers a Max Pack with 420 miles of EPA-rated endurance. But one thing we've learned repeatedly is that EPA figures don't tell the whole story. That's confirmed yet again in an Out Of Spec range test between the second-generation…

Tesla Has All These Covered Cars At Its Factory. What Are They?

Tesla is very different from the traditional automakers, but in one key way it’s exactly the same: it buys competitors’ vehicles to benchmark them and reverse-engineer their innovations. A recent drone video shows eight cars under white tarps parked in a line outside the Fremont, CA factory test track, and…

Finally: This Kit Adds Apple CarPlay To General Motors' EVs

General Motors has pigheadedly stuck to its guns for its new EVs by omitting Apple CarPlay in its new software setup. Some of my colleagues have been mostly fine with the omission, but by and large, the public’s reaction to GM’s lack of Apple CarPlay hasn’t been great.

I Want To Go Off-Grid In Kia's PV5 WKNDR Electric Van

Falling in love with a concept car is setting yourself up to fail. The vast majority of them never become real vehicles, and those that do often end up disappointingly far from their striking original designs. For every BMW i8, we also get about 50 Pontiac Azteks. But love isn't…

Rivian Gets $6.6 Billion Loan To Supercharge Its New Georgia Plant

It's not easy to build cars, and more importantly, it takes a ton of cash to do it. Thankfully, the U.S. government seems to be willing to shell out cash to startups that it sees potential in. The latest to receive billions of dollars of government loans is Rivian, and…

Rivian R1T Tows Big Rig Out Of The Mud To Save The Day

Hyundai Is About To Have More EVs With NACS Plugs Than Tesla

The Hyundai Motor Group has rapidly emerged as one of the biggest challengers to Tesla’s EV dominance. It’s still a distant second in terms of U.S. EV sales.

The Honda Prologue's $229-A-Month Lease Deal Comes To These States

I don’t like every electric vehicle. In fact, I’m pretty sure the rest of the InsideEVs crew would be hard-pressed to put their finger on an electric that I would explicitly like. However, I am a very value-oriented person, and I know a good deal when I see one. I’m…

BMW iX Long-Term Review: Better Tires For Winter, Same Range

We're now entering our second year of iX ownership, which means the beginning of our second winter with the car. Last year, we got through the winter without issue, but the car just never felt particularly comfortable in low-grip conditions. So, that's been high on my list of things to…

California May Do EV Rebates Under Trump—Just Not For Tesla

California has spearheaded the electric vehicle movement in the U.S. and it doesn't plan to slow down anytime soon. If President-elect Donald Trump repeals the consumer incentives in January, California may restart its EV rebate program, the state's Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed on Monday. But there's a twist: Tesla's EVs…

GM And Hyundai EV Pickup Could Be In Development

General Motors and Hyundai have been hanging out quite a bit lately. And apparently, they like each other so much that they may team up on future technical collaborations.
