Aston Martin won’t release EVs until it’s financially stable
[ad_1] Since Aston Martin first teased the Rapide E back in 2015, the supercar has suffered multiple setbacks. After a false start courtesy of LeEco and the financial meltdown the Chinese company went through in 2017, Aston Martin said it would produce 155 Rapide Es in time for 2019. Earlier this month, however, Automaker published […]
Musk: ‘It won’t be long’ until the Model S goes 400 miles on a charge
[ad_1] Apparently, instead of switching the batteries inside the current versions of the more expensive vehicles, Tesla decided to work on the chemistry of the cells they’re using. Musk said the core chemistry inside those cells “has improved many times over the years” and that the company is “pretty happy” with their energy content. That […]
Mini’s 2020 Cooper SE zips around town powered by electrons
[ad_1] The SE is a Mini Cooper through and through; its design is based on the existing Mini 3-Door layout. Aside from its body sitting 18mm higher to accommodate the battery pack, the SE is nearly identical to its internal combustion bretheren. That battery offers 34.2 kWh capacity which, when compared to the Tesla S […]
Karma will unveil an electric pickup truck in late 2020
[ad_1] This could be an important move for Karma. It has remained a niche brand ever since Chinese car part maker Wanxiang Group revived the original Fisker in 2014, selling roughly 1,000 Reveros in 2019. Lower-priced electric trucks would give it a much wider audience, especially in North America where pickups are popular. It’s going […]
Rivian says its electric vehicles will cost less than first announced
[ad_1] It’s not certain what prompted the lower prices, though it might just be a matter of economies of scale. Scaringe told Engadget in 2018 that the initial production would focus on “thousands of units” and ramp up. Rivian has racked up “such a long queue” since then, according to Scaringe. If the company is […]
Porsche’s first Super Bowl ad in 23 years is for the electric Taycan
[ad_1] The ad isn’t terribly complicated. It starts with what appears to be a thief stealing the Taycan from Porsche’s museum in Stuttgart, and quickly evolves into a Hollywood-style chase with several more conventional cars (plus one tractor) in pursuit. While Porsche doesn’t talk much about the Taycan, there’s no question it’s the star. The […]
Lucid opens European pre-orders for its currently unfinished EV
[ad_1] For the equivalent of $1,000, early adopters in select European countries can claim the Lucid Air. According to the company, “high demand in the EV-friendly region accelerated these plans.” The announcement puts Lucid on the hook to deliver, which is something that it and other companies (looking at you Faraday Future) have struggled with. […]
Subaru plans to sell only electric cars by the middle of the 2030s
[ad_1] The announcement comes in the wake of ever-stricter emissions regulations around the globe, notably in China and in the European Union. The firm isn’t going to turn the tap off overnight, though. Toyota owns an 8.7 percent stake in Subaru, and the two partners are jointly developing a pair of electric cars due out […]
Tesla says unintended acceleration claims are ‘completely false’
[ad_1] The firm added that it was “transparent” with the NHTSA, and regularlyshared complaints of unintended acceleration with the agency. It shared the “majority” of the complaints from the petition and found no faults. This doesn’t appear to address every report of surprise acceleration, some of which are baffling if true — a Model 3 […]
