Americans Still Aren

US EV Sales Fall 30.7% as High Gas Prices Fail to Win Over Buyers

U.S. EV sales fell 30.7% through September 2026 and now account for 6% of new vehicle sales, down from 8.5% a year earlier.
Europe's EV share stands at 23.2%, a contrast analysts attribute largely to U.S. policy changes rather than consumer preference.
The expiration of a $7,500 federal tax credit pulled purchases forward and left a thinner buyer pool behind.
Eliminated federal EV support, relaxed fuel-efficiency rules, lost charging infrastructure funding, tariffs, and a Chinese vehicle software ban have all constrained the U.S. market.

Omoda & Jaecoo confirm Canada launch in late 2026: here's the EV lineup

Omoda and Jaecoo Confirm Canada Launch in Late 2026, but the EV Lineup Stays Hidden

Omoda and Jaecoo, both brands of Chery, have launched a Canada-specific website confirming a late-2026 arrival for their premium electric SUVs.

The confirmation establishes intent and a timeline but no product commitment, so readers cannot yet compare vehicles, estimate costs, or identify service options.
A late-2026 target implies substantial behind-the-scenes work such as certification, logistics, service readiness, and retail planning that has not been publicly described.
