Three words: Made in America. We Americans carry quite a bit of national pride when it comes to our homegrown car manufacturers, be they Fords, Chevys, or Mopar. On this, the fourth day of the month of July, we celebrate American independence. Given the current political climate, however, I know why I’m not feeling very patriotic, but it turns out our American car companies aren’t very patriotic either. Not a single Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge ranked in the top 15 of Cars.com’s list of the most American-made cars in 2024. Here’s the criteria that Cars.com uses to reach these rankings,

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in the U.S. market, where the likes of Tesla, Ford, Volkswagen, and GM are leading the charge with compelling technologies. The electrification push is driven by the need for companies to lower their carbon footprint in an effort to curb the ever-increasing issue of climate change.

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Electric Cars

Welcome back to EV Myths Discharged, where we're trying to fight the good fight against disinformation. In this case, anti-EV disinformation. We've been drawing mostly from social media for sources of these myths because that's largely where they spread. We started by addressing the notion that you're totally screwed if you own an EV in an emergency. Since then, in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl in Texas, we saw more evidence that it's EV owners who fare best in emergencies.

Do Electric Vehicles Really Pollute More Than Gas Cars?

American car shoppers yearning for an affordable electric vehicle won't have to wait long. Ford CEO Jim Farley has promised that a new $30,000 EV will be introduced in early 2027, reports CNBC. Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, the chief executive said the new electric car will be affordable for consumers and profitable for the automaker.

Ford's Next EV Will Do What Tesla Has Failed To Do

EV bashers love to bring up tire wear, and they have a point. In the early days of the electric car revolution, these new machines were shod with the same rubber that cars powered by internal combustion engines (ICE) used. As it turns out, those tires weren’t designed to handle the unique qualities of an EV, and as such, they wore through their treads quickly.

There’s been a big push recently among automakers looking to gain ground among entry-level EV buyers. That isn’t all that surprising; price has been a concern for the EV-curious, which has also led to growing number of car buyers looking into used EVs. EV buyers have also made the appeal of electric sedans clear; that makes sense for both reasons of price and for battery range.

It's a well-worn trope among American car enthusiasts that Europe gets all the coolest cars. Things haven't changed much in the electric era. The MG Cyberster, which launches in Europe this summer, is a prime example. It's a slick, two-door convertible with scissor doors and tons of power that costs around 55,000 pounds, equivalent to about $71,000. It's doubtful the roadster will ever come to the U.S., but we can learn a bit about this forbidden fruit thanks to the series of tubes we call the internet.

So, Ford's CEO Jim Farley dropped some pretty big news recently, and it might just shake up how we think about electric vehicles (EVs). Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Farley laid out what he sees as a necessary shift in the automotive industry—especially for those of us accustomed to big, powerful vehicles.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Warns of ‘Radical Change’ and Says EV Batteries Will ‘Never Be Affordable’

When electric vehicles began to take off in America about five years ago, it was not uncommon for shoppers of EVs to feel as if dealerships were the enemy. Tesla’s low-pressure “Buy it if you want to” retail vibe was a tempting alternative, and legacy automakers seemed to be caught behind the curve as EV shoppers began to shop for EVs in earnest. The stereotype became an uninformed salesperson selling a vehicle that they knew little about into a culture they themselves had no experience with. Times have changed, and Ford is among the brands that have fully embraced the change. We sat down with sales associates, managers, and owners of Ford dealerships to learn how they deliver a positive EV shopping and ownership experience.

10-80% is typically seen as a benchmark for EV road-trip charging. Peak charge power can be misleading, and in many cases it’s more about efficiency. Relatively few of today’s EVs charge from 10-80% in less than 30 minutes. There’s much ado about getting electric vehicle charging times closer...
