Study Finds High-Mileage EVs More Reliable Than Gas Counterparts

Secondhand electric vehicles with high mileage are proving more dependable than comparable gas-powered cars, according to new research examining nearly 50 million UK roadworthiness test results. Looking specifically at cars driven between 90,000 and the 120,000-mile mark, the failure rate for EVs came in at 16.5% against 22.1% for equivalent fossil-fuel models. That puts EVs at roughly a quarter lower risk of failing at that stage. The pattern holds past the 120,000-mile mark, with only 16% of electric vehicles failing compared to nearly a quarter of gas cars. Lower-mileage vehicles of either fuel type showed barely any gap at all.…

Metals Shortage Looms as EV Uptake Accelerates

A supply squeeze on the metals that power electric vehicles could be building just as global EV demand starts picking up speed again, driven in part by an unlikely source: oil price shocks tied to conflict in the Middle East. As gasoline and diesel prices climb, drivers in nations most exposed to Gulf-related supply disruptions are increasingly treating an EV purchase as an economic decision as much as an environmental one. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data shows worldwide new energy vehicle sales climbing a modest 4% between January and August compared with the same stretch last year, though that flat-looking number…

Revenue from Fuel Tax Drops as Germans Switch to EVs

Germany's fast shift toward electric cars is starting to squeeze a revenue stream the government has counted on for decades: the tax collected every time someone fills up. As more drivers plug in instead of pulling into a gas station, officials are having to figure out how to replace billions of euros that used to flow in automatically. EV sales across the EU climbed close to 30% over the opening three months of 2025 compared with a year earlier, according to the International Energy Agency. Norway sits furthest along that curve, with electric models now representing roughly 95% of new…

Report Provides Key Insights on EV Charging Facilities for Fleets

A recent report from electric vehicle charging operations and maintenance firm ChargerHelp posits that the largest issue affecting EV fleets today is reliably managing already deployed charging infrastructure at scale, not deploying more infrastructure. For the longest time, the primary charging-related concern for electric fleets was building enough charging infrastructure to support the growing number of electrified fleets. However, the 2026 EV Charging Reliability Report from ChargerHelp says that the objective has now shifted to maintaining the charging infrastructure that’s already been deployed to ensure autonomous vehicle operators, commercial fleets, and ports that are reliant on EVs have the infrastructure…

Global EV Market Fractures into Three Distinct Segments

More than a decade after the first mainstream, mass market battery electric vehicle (BEV) hit the road, the global electric vehicle market has largely fragmented into three distinct segments. Worldwide EV sales increased by only 2% year-on-year in August 2026, ArenaEV reports, but there was significant divergence across individual regions. The United States is seeing a sustained decline in electric vehicle sales while European EV sales are surging and China is focusing on exports amidst softening internal demand. America is the most notable outlier thanks to the Trump administration's anti-EV stance. While the previous Biden government passed dozens of pro-electric…

Global EV Sales Recorded a 2% Increase in August

Recent electric vehicle sales data has revealed that global demand for EVs kept growing in August, though the pace has clearly slowed compared to earlier in the year. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reports that 1,830,000 units were sold worldwide, up 2% from a year earlier. This brings the year-to-date total to 13,400,000 units, a 4% gain over the same stretch in 2025. BMI’s Charles Lester said the headline number masks a lot of regional divergence, since North America's sales kept sliding further into negative territory even as Europe posted strong double-digit gains and China's numbers looked healthier than earlier in the…

More Carmakers Are Betting on Extended-Range EVs

A growing number of electric vehicle companies are placing their bets on extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) to address one of the main barriers to electric vehicle adoption: range anxiety. Due to the relative scarcity of public charging stations in the U.S., American EV owners have to plan long trips carefully and meticulously to avoid running out of power mid-trip. Outside hubs like California where most of the country’s public charging infrastructure is concentrated, long EV road trips are practically impossible. EREVs could solve this issue by eliminating the dependence on public chargers during long trips. With gas prices at record…

EV Sales Continued Their Surge in Portugal in August

Sales of electric cars kept climbing in Portugal last month, with battery-only models jumping 65.2% year-on-year in August to reach 5,079 units sold. This was enough to account for over a third of all passenger cars sold in the country's showrooms that month. That single-month share outpaced the electrified segment's broader position across the year so far, underscoring how quickly EV adoption has been accelerating in recent weeks. The gains came as Portugal's overall auto market kept expanding too. Dealers moved 17,209 vehicles of every kind in August, an 11.3% bump compared with a year earlier, according to figures from industry group ACAP. Running the tally from January through…

EVs Could Become Niche Vehicles in the US as Sales Plummet

Electric vehicles are having a brutal stretch in the United States. Their share of the new-car market hit a record near 12% last September, right before a $7,500 federal EV incentive went away. By January that share had fallen to 6%, and Cox Automotive figures show sales dropped by a further 20% that month compared with December. Policies from the Trump administration are doing a lot of the damage. Washington scrapped an earlier rule pushing EVs to half of new car sales by 2030, and regulators loosened fuel economy requirements from over 50 miles per gallon down to roughly 34.5. California also lost its…

European Startup Seeks to Reinvent EV Tires to Slash Toxic Effects

An electric car's clean reputation might be masking a less obvious problem sitting right under it: the tires. Gunnlaugur Erlendsson, founder and CEO of Swedish technology company ENSO, argues that tires are among the products everyone relies on without really thinking about, quietly underpinning much of the global economy while causing damage that rarely gets discussed. That damage adds up quickly once you look closer. The constant wear from stopping, starting, and turning, combined with energy-intensive production and raw material extraction, makes tires a major contributor to air pollution in cities, and one of the largest sources of ocean microplastics,…
