Xiaomi Exceeds 500,000 Units Delivered as its EV Sales Climb

Xiaomi has delivered over half a million units of the SU7 electric sedan, a significant milestone for a company that has been producing cars for a little over two years. When Xiaomi first announced its intent to develop battery electric cars, it was known for its massive smart manufacturing and consumer electronics business. Apple was the only other consumer electronics firm that tried to produce electric cars but failed to deliver a single unit after a decade of R&D and $10 billion in investment. However, Xiaomi hit the ground running and delivered its first SU7 unit barely a month after announcing its expansion into battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) in March 2024. The company’s…

What the World Could Learn from China’s EV Dominance

The world's policymakers and automakers have real lessons to draw from how China built its electric vehicle industry, and the useful ones have little to do with copying an all-powerful state. Start with technological range: China backed multiple pathways simultaneously, battery-electric, hybrid, fuel-cell, and alternative fuels, rather than committing early to one winner. That flexibility let policy adjust as the technology and market matured, in contrast to the European Union's narrower post-Dieselgate focus on batteries and EVs alone. A second lesson concerns subnational government. Empowered local or regional authorities, given real incentives and accountability for failure, can generate more competition and experimentation than a single centralized program typically manages. A third lesson is…

Porsche to Stop Producing the Taycan EV

Porsche's electric sedan is headed for retirement. German business publication WirtschaftsWoche recently reported that the automaker's works council has provisionally backed a management proposal to wind down the Taycan, with 2030 set as the target. Automotive website Motor 1 says the arrangement is not yet finalized, pointing to a phased exit rather than a quick stop. This will give Porsche a stretch of time to keep the Taycan on sale and updated before it's finally gone from the markets. The car's sales trajectory helps explain the timing of Porsche’s decision. Global sales fell from around 21,000 units in 2023 to near 16,000 in 2025. Furthermore, only around 6,000 were shipped in the first 6 months of 2026,…

YouGov Data Shows EV Owners are More Receptive to New Technologies

Data published by YouGov Profiles has revealed that electric vehicle owners in the United States tend to be more receptive to new technologies. According to the data, 2% of American car owners said an electric car was their household’s primary vehicle, with EV owners exhibiting greater interest in cutting-edge technology compared to non-EV drivers. Furthermore, the data showed that electric vehicle owners owned smart thermostats at greater rates, a clear indication of the way EV drivers are drawn to new technologies. Gasoline-powered cars still account for the vast majority of vehicles on American roads at 88%, followed by hybrid and…

Sales of Chinese EVs Surge Across Europe

Data from Schmidt Automotive Research has revealed that sales of Chinese electric vehicles surged across Europe in the first five months of 2026. European buyers purchased a record number of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) from Chinese brands, causing their European market share to jump by 5% compared to the first five months of 2025. A rise in Italian buyers, coupled with favorable tariffs and high demand in the United Kingdom, was largely responsible for this. These sales numbers come just a couple of years after the European Union (EU) launched an investigation into the Chinese EVs flooding the regional bloc. The investigation concluded that China had given its automakers an unfair advantage…

Low-Speed Chinese EVs Gain Traction in the US

While conventional electric cars from China are effectively locked out of the U.S. market through steep import tariffs, low-speed Chinese electric vehicles are gaining some traction in the country. These aren’t the small EVs you see zipping by in Chinese cities; they are much closer to powerful golf carts, perfect for quick, short trips like picking up groceries and making school pickups and drop-offs. With a top speed of 25 miles per hour, these electric golf carts are more suited for university campuses, retirement communities, small towns, and residential complexes. In Scotland, parents are using low-speed electric golf cars to pick up and drop off children…

How Chinese EVs are Minimizing the Adverse Effects of the Hormuz Closure

China’s massive fleet of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) seems to be acting as a buffer against volatility in international energy markets by cutting the Asian nation’s demand for oil. Although China is the largest importer of crude oil in the world, the ongoing Hormuz Strait closure isn’t affecting the country like past energy crises. With tens of millions of electric cars on Chinese roads, China just doesn’t have as much demand for oil as it used to. More than a decade ago, Beijing began an electrification program that cost hundreds of billions in subsidies and infrastructure costs and left China…

Calls for Ramping Up Battery Recycling in Europe Gain Traction

With over a million electric batteries from Europe's first wave of EV adoption nearing the end of their lives, there are increasing calls for Europe to ramp up battery recycling in preparation. Europeans started buying mass-produced battery electric cars as early as 2010, and those early EV batteries are set to die in the next several years. According to some experts, this influx of decommissioned EV batteries could soon become one of the most prolific waste streams in Europe and globally if a robust battery recycling pipeline isn’t set up in time. European buyers purchased over 1.24 million battery electric vehicles in just the first half…

China Publishes New Testing Standards for Electric Vehicle Batteries

Recent reports from Chinese media have revealed that China has published new testing standards for electric vehicle batteries. The details outlined in the document cover implementation requirements for an EV battery standard that specifies the battery health readings for passenger electric cars in the light-duty class. These new standards set a narrow 5% error limit and could go a long way toward making drivers more trusting of EV battery health readings. The standards cap the difference between measured battery health and energy status findings and the readings shown on EV display systems at 5%. They also set up reference levels for measuring EV battery durability using vehicle…

Ferrari Sells Out its 2026 Quota of Luce EVs

Italian luxury car manufacturer Ferrari has sold out the controversial Ferrari Luce just two months after it first debuted. It was Ferrari’s first attempt at developing an all-electric car, and it definitely didn’t land the way Ferrari expected. The Luce drew harsh criticism in late May when Ferrari debuted it in Rome, with reactions to the electric car being so negative that the company’s stock declined by 8%. However, the controversy surrounding the Luce did not prevent buyers from snapping it up as soon as they could. Ferrari achieved its projected yearly sales volume of 500 units in just two…
