Electric car reliability is a bit of a mixed bag, and there's a reason for that. Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports, explains:. Most electric cars today are being manufactured by either legacy automakers that are new to EV technology, or by companies like Rivian that are new to making cars. It’s not surprising that they’re having growing pains and need some time to work out the bugs.

BEV, PHEV, HEV, NEV and FCEV are all acronyms for some sort of electrified vehicle, but only one of them refers to all-electric cars. That would be BEV, which stands for battery electric vehicle, whereas all the others have some form of helper, be it a combustion engine or something else.

Toyota Has Developed A New Combustion Engine That Will Fend Off EVs For Years To Come

Electric vehicles (EVs) are practical for those who commute about 25 minutes each way in the US. However, EVs are more of a burden than a solution for longer trips and in areas that don't have the charging infrastructure in place. Work trucks and pickups do even more miles, working throughout the day, often pulling large loads, which further drains batteries. Even with a charging network, these vehicles can't afford to stand around for up to an hour charging their batteries before they can go again.

Volkswagen made the decision to kill the manual GTI after 2024 due to what was, at the time, more stringent Euro 7 emissions regulations. But VW tells AutoGuide that it kept the manual GLI around just for the North American market. It was able to do so GLI is developed specifically for the North American region, whereas the more global GTI is handled at home in Wolfsburg where demand for manual performance cars has slackened. 6-speed-flavored news aside, there’s also a facelift in store for both the Jetta and Jetta GLI.

The Model X is one of Tesla's more exclusive and aspirational options that sits alongside the flagship Model S sedan. Flagship luxury cars typically lose more value compared to entry-level products. Electric cars also depreciate far faster than their ICE counterparts, meaning the Model X should be subject to some considerable value losses. However, it appears that the opposite is true, as this aspirational seven-seater luxury electric SUV is able to retain its value better than almost any other electric car currently available in the U.S.
