Toyota’s bZ EV is Threatening Tesla’s Dominance in the US

Toyota has quietly become one of the more consequential stories in the American electric vehicle market this year. Surging sales from its bZ crossover have placed the Japanese automaker in direct competition with Tesla for EV leadership, arriving at a moment when most rivals are retreating and pricing missteps have left the broader market exposed. In the just-concluded first quarter of the year, the bZ moved just over 10,000 units, a 79% increase from the same period a year earlier, Automotive News says. The Chevrolet Equinox EV, which led non-Tesla EV sales throughout 2025, managed around 9,600 units over the same stretch. Ford's Mustang Mach-E dropped roughly 60% to around 4,600…

Porsche’s Patent Application Seeks to Retain Stick Shift in EVs

Electric vehicles are steadily erasing the manual transmission from modern motoring, but Porsche appears unwilling to let it go without a fight. The German automaker filed a patent with its home country's intellectual property office in mid-2024, with the application published earlier this year, outlining a concept designed to preserve the feel of a stick shift inside an electric car. For a brand whose identity is inseparable from driving involvement, the filing reads as a statement of intent as much as a technical proposal.

Chinese electric vehicles remain locked out of the American market, but the appetite for them keeps growing. Tariffs introduced under the Biden administration pushed duties past 100%, sealing the border to Chinese EVs. Consumer curiosity has continued building regardless, fueled in large part by social media. Enthusiastic independent reviews on video platforms have introduced millions of Americans to vehicles they cannot legally buy, generating demand that policy has suppressed but not extinguished. The relatively low cost of Chinese-made electric cars is doing much of the heavy lifting. A new electric vehicle in the United States cost around $57,000 on average last year, according to Kelley Blue…

Polestar 3 EVs to Be Exclusively Made in the US

All global production of the Polestar 3 electric SUV is moving to a single location in South Carolina. The shift ends an arrangement that had seen the electric SUV assembled on two continents simultaneously, marking an unusual moment in the model's short history. For both Volvo Cars and Polestar, the move represents a meaningful change in manufacturing strategy, a signal that parent company Geely Holdings is growing increasingly confident in the American facility's capacity to serve the entire world market. When the Polestar 3 launched, it became the first model in the brand's history produced simultaneously on assembly lines in two different countries. That was a rare arrangement even by global…

What Buyers Need to Know Before Purchasing Used EVs

Used electric vehicles are suddenly the most searched category in Australia's second-hand car market, and the timing is no coincidence. Fuel costs have crossed thresholds that are genuinely changing purchase behavior. The used EV segment was already building momentum well before prices at the pump became a daily grievance. Pickles, one of the country's largest automotive auction platforms, has seen triple-digit growth in EV-related searches over the past month alone. Second-hand EVs accounted for a small slice of overall used car sales in 2025. Their growth rate of nearly 65% year-on-year left every other category behind. Close to half a…
