Hyundai Seeks Patent for EV Battery Resembling Gas Engine

Hyundai Motor Company has filed a patent for an unconventional battery architecture that positions energy storage behind the driver, replicating the mid-engine configuration found in performance vehicles. The South Korean automaker's T-shaped battery arrangement aims to deliver balanced mass allocation and handling dynamics that are similar to high-performance sports cars without impacting electric vehicle efficiency. Patent documentation reveals the energy module positioned between the rear axle and cabin area. One arm of the T sits laterally across the rear wheel span, with the perpendicular section extending forward into the area beneath passengers. This configuration enables manufacturers to preserve low, aerodynamic…

GM Loses $1.6 Billion as the EV Landscape Changes

General Motors (GM) has recorded a massive $1.6 billion loss as dwindling electric vehicle demand and limited federal support have forced American automakers to rethink their electrification strategies. Several major carmakers in the country went all-in on electrification during the Biden administration and invested tens of billions of dollars in building new electric vehicle lines to lead America's electric vehicle future. However, these companies miscalculated market demand for electric cars and failed to account for how high prices, range anxiety, and customer disinterest in electric cars would affect demand. As a result, most carmakers had to go back to the…

California EV Sales Hit Record in Q3 of This Year

America's largest electric vehicle market registered record EV sales in the third quarter of 2025. California drivers bought a record 124,755 electric cars between July and September 2025, raising quarterly EV sales to 29.1% of total vehicle sales. This is the highest share of EV sales California has ever recorded in a single quarter and underscores the Golden State’s enduring demand for zero emission vehicles. The record sales numbers come during a challenging time for the country's fledgling new energy vehicle segment. The Trump administration has stripped many of the federal incentives and subsidies that enabled EV purchases in the…

Lamborghini Backtracks on EV-Only Future

Italian sportscar manufacturer Lamborghini will continue using internal combustion engines for at least another decade, citing declining customer enthusiasm for battery-powered vehicles among luxury buyers. Chief Executive Stephan Winkelmann told the media that customers still desire the sound and emotional experience traditional engines provide, allowing Lamborghini to focus on hybrid powertrains instead of full electrification. The automaker plans to decide within weeks whether its planned Lanzador grand tourer will be fully electric or adopt plug-in hybrid technology. It has already postponed an all-electric successor to its Urus luxury SUV from 2029 to no earlier than 2035, reflecting a strategic recalculation…

Using EVs for Ecommerce Deliveries Could Slash Urban Emissions, UNEP Says

Electric vehicles used for e-commerce deliveries could dramatically reduce urban emissions as online shopping continues expanding globally, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) says. Major delivery platforms recently launched Deliver-E in Dubai to electrify their vehicle fleets, with UNEP coordinating through its Global Electric Mobility Program. Founding members include Delivery Hero, DoorDash, iFood, Mr. D, Swiggy, Uber, Wolt, and Zomato, whose combined operations span numerous countries with billions of annual delivery trips. Delivery vehicle numbers will grow more than one-third worldwide by decade's end as e-commerce expands, with traffic and carbon dioxide output expected to climb roughly 60% without operational…

China Tightens Requirements for Accessing NEV Tax Incentives

China established dramatically stricter eligibility criteria for new energy vehicle purchase tax exemptions, implementing comprehensive technical standards effective January 1, 2026. Officials from three government agencies jointly announced the requirements October 9th, signaling Beijing's strategic shift toward prioritizing vehicle quality and efficiency over market volume expansion. This regulatory tightening will reshape manufacturer strategies and consumer options throughout the world's largest automotive market. Plug-in hybrids face the most dramatic threshold increases. Minimum electric-only driving capability must reach 62 miles, up from approximately 26 miles previously, a transformation analysts project will exclude nearly two-fifths of current models from eligibility. Lighter vehicles weighing…

US EV Industry Transforms as Expired Incentives Become New Reality

After years of supporting American electric vehicles, federal tax credits purchases ended on October 1st and eliminated tax incentives for both new and used electric cars. Although buyers rushed to complete purchases before the deadline and created a temporary sales surge, the U.S. electric vehicle market is facing demand uncertainty now that the subsidies that allowed costly EVs to be price competitive with gas-powered cars are no more. Manufacturers have begun deploying various strategies to maintain electric vehicle sales momentum. Ford and General Motors will keep providing $7,500 lease incentives as they acquired vehicles before the federal tax incentives expired.…

Chinese EV Maker BYD Records 880% Surge in its UK Sales

Chinese automaker BYD reported an 880% year-over-year sales increase in the UK during September, making Britain its largest market after China. The company delivered 11,271 vehicles last month, with the PHEV version of the Seal U SUV claiming the biggest fraction of purchases. BYD now commands 3.6% of the UK market, capitalizing on Britain's decision not to impose tariffs on electric vehicles from China unlike the EU and United States. The surge coincides with record British electric vehicle sales in September when pure battery EV purchases reached nearly 73,000 units as per the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. PHEV…

Germany to Extend EV Tax Exemption to 2035

Germany will continue exempting electric vehicles from motor-vehicle taxes until 2035, a move the government says is essential to sustain momentum in its shift toward cleaner transport. Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil confirmed the draft legislation this week, ending months of uncertainty surrounding the program after repeated warnings that tight public finances could curtail it. Under the plan, the exemption will apply to battery-only vehicles first registered by Dec. 31 2030. Under existing law, new electric-car registrations after Jan. 1, 2026 would have lost the benefit, prompting calls from industry leaders to act quickly. The new extension forms part of…

UK EV Sales Notch Record as Subsidies Lure Buyers

British battery electric vehicle sales surged nearly one-third in September compared to the previous year, reaching 72,800 units. The record figures followed the UK government's July reintroduction of electric car grants worth up to £3,750 ($5,035), responding to intense carmaker lobbying about struggles meeting mandatory zero-emission vehicle targets. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders reported the surge as reinstated government subsidies attracted buyers during the market's most critical sales month. The subsidy program applies to roughly one-quarter of battery electric vehicles sold in Britain, including models from Citroën, Renault, Nissan, and Vauxhall. Eligibility restrictions include manufacturing emissions requirements that…
