GM reported this year that nearly 750,000 Super Cruise-enabled vehicles have collectively logged over 1 billion hands-free miles without a crash attributed to the system. That statistic sounds like a definitive safety verdict. What it actually measures, and what it deliberately excludes, matters more than the headline figure most coverage repeats without examining. What GM’s…
Ford didn’t reach a $28,350 electric truck by cutting features. The company redesigned how the vehicle gets built. A new process Ford calls ‘assembly tree’ manufacturing, combined with cell-to-structure battery integration, does most of the cost-cutting work traditionally invisible to a buyer scanning a spec sheet. What Assembly Tree Manufacturing Actually Changes Traditional automotive assembly…
GM confirmed it will fit native NACS charging ports to all 12 electric models across Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC by 2027. Ten of GM’s current 2026 models still need an adapter at NACS chargers today. That timeline reveals which vehicles get the upgrade first, and it shows how much of the current NACS transition remains…
The industry-wide shift to NACS charging is well underway, but 2026 remains what one industry tracker calls the messy middle of that transition. Only 32 of 96 tracked EV models currently ship with a native NACS port. The rest still rely on CCS1 with an adapter, and which specific vehicles fall into which group is…
Lectric eBikes crossed $1 billion in total e-commerce sales and sold its 750,000th electric bicycle on the same day. Most coverage will treat that as a single press release. The sharper read reveals where consumer transportation spending is actually moving, as EV purchase costs climb and lighter e-mobility options stay comparatively cheap. What Actually Happened…
At least eight states are developing programs to export power from EVs and electric buses. That number keeps climbing through 2026. Live payouts now exist in California, Maryland, and Texas, not just pilot proposals. Massachusetts stands out further, with some participants earning over $1,300 a year. Most coverage still treats vehicle-to-grid as a future concept….
Winter driving season already reminds owners that range drops in the cold. Fewer owners realize charging itself slows down at the same time. The slowdown can reach dramatic levels at very low temperatures. A national laboratory review, alongside independent testing, points to one shared cause. That cause is a cold battery, not a broken charger….
Robotaxis coverage tends to swing between two extremes: dismissing the technology as still experimental, or treating it as already available everywhere. Neither is accurate heading into the second half of 2026. Driverless ride-hailing now operates commercially in a specific, growing list of US cities, while most of the country still has none. The City List,…
