Six e-bike brands carry an active CPSC fire-hazard recall or warning as of October 2026, including Rad Power Bikes, which refused a funded recall entirely. Here’s the real difference between a warning and a recall, and what owners should actually do.
Insurance quotes for the same coverage level swing by more than $7,600 a year depending on which EV a buyer chooses. The Toyota bZ and comparable mainstream models sit near the bottom of that range. The Audi SQ8 e-tron sits at the top, alongside every current Tesla model. Comparing specific vehicles side by side reveals…
Used EV prices are stabilizing after two brutal years, and the recovery changes the math for anyone shopping the used market right now. The average used EV sold for $34,821 in the first quarter of 2026, just $1,334 more than a comparable used gas car. As recently as early 2023, that gap exceeded $10,000. For…
New York City is adding 600 new curbside EV chargers across all five boroughs, expanding PlugNYC to solve a problem highway-corridor charging coverage skips: drivers with nowhere private to plug in overnight.
GM’s 2028 eyes-off system and today’s hands-free Super Cruise sound like a small step apart. The engineering gap between them is much larger than the marketing language suggests.

The industry-wide shift to NACS charging is well underway, but 2026 remains what one industry tracker calls the messy middle of that transition.

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…
Kia is advertising $10,000 off its entire EV lineup, but the discount isn’t automatic. Here’s what actually stacks, which restrictions trip up buyers, and why some dealers offer even more than the national figure.
The Kia EV3 starts at $31,385, but the real value sits in the $36,485 Wind trim with 321 miles of range. Here’s what each trim actually delivers, and why the base price isn’t the full story.
Head-to-head EV models comparisons usually stop at range and starting price. That comparison skips the number that actually determines ownership cost: energy consumption per mile. The Model Y’s base trim consumes roughly 250 watt-hours per mile. The Ioniq 5 consumes between 290 and 340, depending on trim, a gap most reviews never quantify. Why Range…
