The BYD Seagull sells for about $10,000 in China, the Dacia Spring starts at $20,000 in Europe, the Renault Kwid e-Tech costs $19,000 in Brazil, and the Kia Ray goes for $22,000 in South Korea.

BMW doesn’t miss an opportunity to hype up its first electric M car. The hotly anticipated performance EV will sit above the current crop of M Performance models that don’t have a combustion engine. It’ll be based on a 3 Series Sedan-like i3 and is expected to land around 2027. Known internally as the “ZA0,” the fully electric M3 will apparently “beat everything.”

With all the fireworks displays coming for the Fourth of July, it's easy to forget what it feels like when everything goes dark. Whether you're going off-grid, camping or you want a back up in case of power outages, having a portable power station can help you stay ready for anything but they don't always come cheap. Thanks to some big Fourth of July sales we're seeing discounts on power stations and more at Amazon, right now, including this Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Pro bundle. It's discounted to $1,299 for Prime members right now -- the same price as the power station alone -- meaning you're effectively getting the solar panel thrown in for free and saving $1,100 in total.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. My experience watching the transition from fossil fuelled transport to electric vehicles has taught me that there is always some basis for the FUD. A quoted statistic, that 1 in 3 drivers are supposedly giving up on EVs and going back to petrol, has some truth. However, what I usually find is that there are extenuating circumstances and it is always exaggerated. I doubt that the recidivism rate has ever been as high as 30%, and it’s more likely around 3%. But in the muddy waters of mainstream media, it is always difficult to find out what is actually going on.

Fisker officially filed for bankruptcy last month, and despite a “going out of business” sale that saw prices of its Ocean EV slashed by thousands, the automaker still has a few thousand leftovers that didn’t sell. Fisker may have found a buyer for all those EVs and, as TechCrunch reports, it’s willing to let them go for dirt cheap.

 Donald Trump claims to be a “big fan” of electric vehicles despite making them a frequent target of derision on the campaign trail. He might be a bigger fan, though, if he got his facts straight. Here’s what Trump has gotten right and wrong about EVs since 2021.“To China, if you’re listening — President Xi, you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal.

One of the biggest pain points of electric vehicles is how long they take to charge. While we have seen some recent developments in fast-charging EVs—like the Ioniq 6, which can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes—others can take much longer. But Nyobolt recently showed off a prototype that could bring us one step closer to recharging EVs nearly as fast as we refill gas-powered vehicles.
Nyobolt showed off what the new prototype could do at the Millbrook Proving Ground in England. And it harks back to a lot of the improvements that we’re also seeing from...
