Volkswagen’s latest ID.4 recall points to thermal propagation as the specific failure mechanism, a term that shows up in nearly every major EV battery recall. Here’s what it actually means and why charge-limit advisories matter.
British e-bike maker FLIT just unveiled the M2i, a fully equipped folding electric bike weighing 13.3 kilograms, or about 29.3 pounds. Most folding e-bikes on the market today weigh considerably more once a motor and battery get added. That weight gap changes how a folding e-bike actually gets used day to day, not just how…
Bidirectional charging finally moved past pilot-project jargon in 2026. Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, and Nissan owners now see real hardware on dealer lots. Marketing labels many of these EVs “V2H-ready.” That label rarely means what buyers assume. A vehicle-to-load outlet can run a drill or a mini fridge. It cannot power a home panel…
LG Energy Solution posted record Q3 2026 earnings, but the real story isn’t EV batteries. Tesla’s own supplier pivoted idle EV production capacity toward energy storage batteries for data centers, and it’s paying off in a big way.
October’s EV lease deals work differently than August’s did, driven by year-end inventory clearance and aging residual values. See what’s actually on the table and why timing matters more than the sticker price alone.
Accell Group, the Dutch parent company behind e-bike brands sold across Europe and beyond, became defunct on August 11, 2026, after years of mounting losses. The bankruptcy has thrown retailer ordering decisions into chaos right as the industry enters its annual window for planning next year’s model lineup. Riders with an Accell-brand e-bike now face…
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…
Electrify America now lets retailers brand their own EV charging stations while it handles construction, technology, and support behind the scenes. Here’s what that means for drivers who may not even know whose network they’re really using.
Rad Power Bikes, once North America’s largest e-bike brand with more than 350,000 units sold, told employees in late 2025 it faced significant financial challenges requiring operational cuts. That warning wasn’t isolated. Accell Group’s bankruptcy, a German component supplier’s insolvency, and founders returning to steady struggling companies all point to the same underlying pressure reshaping…
The count of EVs offering at least 300 miles of EPA-rated range just climbed to 46 models, four more than the previous tracked update. That growing club makes 300-mile range look increasingly like table stakes rather than a genuine differentiator. Whether all 46 actually deliver that range in typical driving is a separate question the…
