Stellantis is trailing both Ford and GM when it comes to offering full BEV vehicles in North America but is now releasing information about charging its upcoming EVs. The all-electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV, the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona, 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S, 2025 Jeep Recon and the 2024 Fiat 500e are new battery-electric vehicles announced for the U.S. market. Now, Stellantis is saying that drivers who buy one of the company’s BEVs will receive either an at-home charging station or $600 in charge credits.

The South Korean environment ministry will hold an emergency meeting next week after a Mercedes-Benz EV caught fire, hospitalizing 23 people. The government will announce “comprehensive measures regarding EV fires soon,” per Reuters. Sources suggest that the South Korean government will also require manufacturers of EVs to disclose the brand of battery in a car as part of the measures taken. In the country, automakers need to provide other detailed information about their cars, like fuel economy but must disclose relatively little information about the batteries being used.

More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

ChargePoint has a new plug system for its charging stations that will make it easier for EV drivers to select the correct connecter for their electric vehicle. The new plug, called Omni Port, works by automatically installing an adapter (or excluding one) to the tip of the connector when you’re ready to charge, which means Tesla owners won’t need to bring out their adapter.

9 Reasons EVs Can Be Unreliable Cars

Problems with the infrastructure of recharging stations and battery warranties have caused nearly 46% of U.S. drivers of electric vehicles to switch to combustion-powered units. This is a trend that specialists consulted by The News Journal said could happen on the island in the not too distant future for the same reasons.

Tesla owner shares frustration after car parks in electric charging spot: 'You really have nothing better to do?'

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.
