Electrify America wants to clamp down on EV users who hog fast chargers. A trial will see some stations halt charging after cars have hit 85 percent. It will also impose an extra fee for every minute a charged car blocks a charging point. Despite ever-expanding charging infrastructure, public access...

Electrify America To Stop EV Owners From Charging To 100%, Will Penalize Overstayers

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.

EV charging infrastructure is already a problem, but a new solution might fix the current situation.

EV charging company is giving 'Charger Hogs' a rude awakening

Most electric vehicle drivers will go the extra mile for safer public charging stations, a survey says. Some 78% of EV drivers would go out of their way to use a public charging station in a safe location, according to survey from early June by Vontier, a company working with 7-Eleven, Chevron, Shell and others to install charging stations.

Over Half of Tesla Owners Are Trading Their EVs in for Gas Cars

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.

From battery failures to tech glitches, here are 9 reasons why EVs might be less reliable than you bargained for.

9 Reasons EVs Can Be Unreliable Cars

Police departments around the country find themselves at a crossroads. They have decades of investment in traditional combustion engine police vehicles, of which the Dodge Charger Pursuit is one of the most popular and among the quickest with a 6 second 0-60 time. But as electric vehicle ownership grows across the country, criminals are adapting. A suspect fleeing in a Tesla Model Y or Hyundai Ioniq 5 N can easily outrun a V6-powered Charger on city streets.

Police Diversify With EVs As Combustion Engines Can’t Keep Up

Once every few years or so, a potential tech innovation comes along that stands to change the mobility industry as a whole. In the past, some of these innovations included electrification, hybrid systems, and hydrogen power. Now, with EVs all the rage, lots of these tech advancements focus on batteries.

Solid-State Batteries Are Here, and They Could Change EVs Forever

Warner Bros. Discovery has updated Cartoon Network’s website to remove basically everything and turn it into a page pointing to the Max streaming service. Before the change, the website let you watch free episodes of shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe. The switchover appears to have happened on Thursday, Variety reports, and follows Warner Bros.’ announcement last week that it would be shutting down Boomerang, its streaming service for classic Warner Bros. cartoons.

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.
