Ford’s electric vehicle sales are soaring in the U.S., driven by jaw-dropping lease deals and finance offers. However, the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning alone can't take Ford far enough in the EV race. For that, the Dearborn automaker needs its upcoming “skunkworks” project to succeed. Part of making the strategy work could involve launching spiritual successors to the Fiesta, Focus or European-market Puma small crossover.

The Alfa Romeo Junior has had a rather tumultuous start to life. Launched as the Milano but produced far away from its namesake, all the way in Poland, Italian officials quickly took issue with the name. That part of the world considers its heritage and culture sacred, so the compact EV is now known as the Junior. Designed for European markets, it now has a small chance of being sold in the United States, reports Automotive News Europe (ANE). First, dealers need to see it in the metal.

When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), potential range degradation over time and use has haunted owners for what seems like an eternity. However, as battery technology improves, and so does EV longevity, these fears can slowly be phased out. For instance, the YouTube channel AutoTrader has been documenting a Tesla Model S from 2016 with over 430,000 miles on the clock from to its eight years of service as an airport taxi. Surprisingly, the car has been able to pull this off without requiring a battery or motor replacement of any kind.

Tesla owner sells his EV after being told it would cost $750 to tow 1 mile

Hybrids have become more popular in the U.S. than ever before. This is for several reasons, the most noteworthy of which is the constantly increasing cost of gasoline. Ideally, a lot of drivers would want to transition to a fully electric vehicle, but there are still a lot of complications associated with this segment. Despite recent price cuts and attractive tax incentives, EVs remain very expensive new car options. They're also relatively less practical than gasoline cars because of fewer public charging stations and much longer recharging times.

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.

A New Wave of Electric Vehicles Are Ready to Charge at 70 MPH

The world of electric vehicles (EVs) might be on the brink of a dramatic shift thanks to a recent discovery from Nyobolt, a promising British startup focused on batteries. This innovation could make the inconvenience of extensive battery-charging durations a thing of the past, bringing electric vehicle convenience closer to that of traditional gas-powered cars.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. People today are terrified of the electric car revolution. Just as folks 100 years ago mocked automobiles and embraced their beloved horses and oxen, many today seem to believe the electric car is part of a dark plot by the government to interrupt our God-given and constitutionally protected right to move from place to place in four-wheeled cocoons powered by infernal combustion engines. Of course, the people who sell us gasoline and diesel are only too happy to play on those fears so they can continue making record-breaking profits. As a result, the media is filled with scary tales of battery fires, people pushing their electric car into a lake because the battery died, and photos of 8-year-old children in the Democratic Republic of Congo digging cobalt out of the ground with their bare hands for electric car batteries.
