GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed at a New York technology event that the Cadillac Escalade IQ will offer ‘eyes-off’ highway driving starting in 2028. A turquoise light across the dashboard and mirrors will signal when the system is active, letting drivers read or answer messages while the vehicle drives itself. The announcement marks GM’s clearest…
Geely says its next solid-state battery will hit 500 watt-hours per kilogram, roughly double today’s best production cells, enabling more than 1,000 kilometers of range. The announcement landed this week alongside a named materials partner and a 2027 pilot timeline. Several of Geely’s own rivals have made nearly identical claims for the same year, a…
Global EV data released in June tells a story most U.S. headlines miss. As pure battery-electric sales cooled sharply in America following the tax credit’s expiration, the hybrid segment absorbed much of that lost momentum instead of losing it to gas vehicles entirely. That shift reveals something the simple ‘EV sales are down’ narrative leaves…
Ford confirmed its long-teased affordable EV platform will launch as a truck called Fathom, priced from $28,350 before a $1,595 destination fee.

Global EV share tells a different story entirely: EV models now account for more than 27 percent of all cars sold worldwide in 2026, a record high most U.S….
The Senate Commerce Committee passed the Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 with unanimous bipartisan support on July 22. Most coverage stopped at the headline vote. The bill’s foreign-ownership threshold reaches further than most automakers realize, and its restrictions phase in on two separate timelines that matter for anyone buying a connected vehicle. What The…
Tesla Energy announced its first vehicle-to-grid program in the United States on February 5, 2026. The Powershare Grid Support Program went live in select Texas markets that same month. Coverage at launch focused mostly on the announcement itself. Few outlets explained the actual enrollment steps, the required hardware, or which utility zones qualify. Owners outside…
New EV sales fell sharply in the first quarter of 2026, a drop steep enough to reshape production plans at several automakers. Most headlines pointed to one cause: the expired federal tax credit.
