GM confirmed the revived Chevy Bolt gets roughly 18 months of production at Fairfax Assembly before the plant shifts to the Equinox and Buick Envision. Here’s what that capped run means for buyers of America’s cheapest EV.
Stellantis will halt four French plants in October 2026, citing limited battery availability for long-range EVs. A supply-side constraint, not weak demand, is the actual story here.
President Trump signed a resolution this spring overturning a Biden-era mining ban across 225,504 acres of northern Minnesota’s Superior National Forest. The region, known as the Duluth Complex, holds an estimated 95 percent of America’s domestic nickel reserves and 88 percent of its cobalt reserves, both critical inputs for EV battery production most automakers currently…
The House passed the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act on September 16 with overwhelming bipartisan support, sending it to the Senate. The bill would require every new vehicle, including EVs, to carry a working AM radio at no extra cost. Eight automakers, including Tesla and Rivian, have dropped AM from electric models specifically because…
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.

CEO Jim Farley first called this project a ‘Model T moment’ during a 2025 earnings call. The August 6 announcement finally attached a name, a price, and real specifications to that promise, revealing…
North American EV sales fell roughly 20 percent year-to-date through mid-2026. The expired federal tax credit and pullbacks from Ford and General Motors drove that decline. 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…
