A new cost comparison suggests that with cheap overnight electricity, a Kia EV6 can be dramatically less expensive to energize over a year than a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is to fuel with gasoline.

A new IEEE-published study says a health-aware charging algorithm can adapt to battery aging and extend projected EV battery life by about 23% without increasing charging time.

A new snapshot of the US fast-charging market points to improving reliability, stable pricing, and steady utilization even as more chargers are added.

A Swedish pilot backed by Vattenfall, Energy Bank, and Volkswagen will install 200 bidirectional chargers to test how parked EVs can feed electricity back to the grid.

Ford has confirmed that its once-hyped three-row electric SUV was canceled in 2024, but the prototype has not disappeared: the company says it now serves as a research vehicle influencing its next generation of EVs.

Mercedes-Benz says the 2027 EQS gets a major overhaul, including an 800-volt architecture, a larger 122 kWh battery, quicker charging, higher recuperation, and optional steer-by-wire.

BYD plans to open 20 Canadian locations this year, starting in major urban markets and testing whether its battery and charging technology can widen EV adoption in a cold, infrastructure-stretched market.

Another 72 fast-charging ports are operating or planned in Illinois, adding to a broader pattern in which EV infrastructure expansion is advancing through repeated local deployments rather than single megaprojects.

A sodium-ion battery prototype from BAIC Group achieves 11-minute full charging and 450 km range, as global sodium-ion shipments surge 150% in a year toward mass-market deployment.
