EV Sales Surpass Gasoline Vehicle Sales in Europe

Europe’s car market crossed a quiet but meaningful milestone at the end of last year. In December, fully electric vehicles edged ahead of petrol-only cars in European Union registrations, marking the first time battery powered models took the lead in monthly sales. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 22.6% of new EU registrations, narrowly overtaking internal combustion engine (ICE) cars at 22.5%. The shift highlights how consumer behavior is moving, even as policymakers debate slowing the pace of regulation. Industry figures show electric cars captured just over a fifth of new EU registrations during the month, while hybrids continued to dominate overall. Gasoline-electric hybrids, including plug-in hybrids,…

Jaguar Disowns Claims it Plans to Make Extended Range EVs

Jaguar has moved to shut down growing speculation about a possible shift in its electric strategy, firmly rejecting reports that it is considering extended range electric vehicles. The denial comes as the brand prepares for a high risk relaunch built around an all-electric identity and a dramatically smaller, more expensive lineup. The reports emerged over the weekend, suggesting Jaguar was internally exploring powertrains beyond pure battery electric models. According to those accounts, engineers were said to be assessing hybrid-based systems that could significantly extend driving range. After Jaguar initially declined to engage, the company later issued a clear response. A spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that the plan to reinvent…

Volkswagen Surpasses Tesla and Leads in EV Sales in Europe

Volkswagen has emerged as Europe’s top seller of battery-electric vehicles, marking a significant shift in a market long dominated by Tesla. Recent sales data from 2025 indicates that the German automaker delivered more electric cars across the region than its U.S. competitor, signaling a redistribution of market leadership rather than a slowdown in overall demand. Volkswagen’s electric vehicle deliveries in Europe rose steeply over the past year, climbing to well over a quarter-million units. Tesla, by contrast, recorded a notable contraction in regional sales over the same period. While Tesla’s Model Y continued to register as Europe’s single most popular electric car, total volumes fell compared with the previous year, reducing…

Concerns Grow as Chinese EVs Penetrate North American Market

Concerns are growing as Chinese electric vehicles penetrate the North American market, with policymakers and automakers watching a combination of trade shifts, price pressure, and global oversupply bring foreign competition closer to U.S. consumers than previously expected. What once felt like a distant challenge is now becoming a tangible strategic issue for domestic manufacturers, and recent trade decisions in Canada have added urgency to those worries. By adjusting tariffs as part of a broader negotiation tied to agricultural exports, Ottawa has created a potential entry point that could allow Chinese EVs to move more freely across North America. Industry analysts say the timing favors Chinese automakers, whose home market is…

Germany Reintroduces Subsidies to Bolster EV Uptake

Germany is renewing its push for electric vehicle adoption, with the federal government confirming a new subsidy program aimed at encouraging more households to make the switch. The scheme applies to all new electric vehicles registered from January 1, 2026, even though applications will only open later in the year. Environment Minister Carsten Schneider says the updated incentives are designed to restart momentum after a sharp slowdown in private EV purchases. Schneider said buyers who have been holding off can move ahead with confidence, as the support will be granted retroactively once the system is live. At the core of the program is a tiered subsidy linked to…

World-First Mass Produced Solid State EV Battery Charges in 5 Minutes

A solid-state battery designed for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is pushing EV charging into gas-station territory. Unveiled by Donut Lab at CES 2026, the new battery is designed to fully recharge an electric vehicle in around five minutes, a milestone the company says could remove one of the biggest barriers holding back mass EV adoption. It is the first EV battery of its kind to reach mass production and could pave the way for electric cars that can charge in the same time it takes to fill up a combustion engine car. Solid-state batteries have long been seen as a breakthrough solution to boosting EV battery…

Lucid Doubles EV Output, Ends 2025 on a High

Lucid Motors finished 2025 with sharply higher electric vehicle production after a slow start to the year, signaling that its operations may be stabilizing as it heads into a pivotal 2026. The company reported building 8,412 EVs in the final quarter of the year, more than double its output in the prior quarter and more than it managed in the first half of 2025. Across all of 2025, Lucid manufactured 18,378 vehicles, outpacing its 2024 total by more than 100%, and delivered 15,841 units, a 55% annual increase. Those figures align with recently released production data and show that late-year momentum helped lift the startup past its revised annual…

UK Industry Group Calls EV Discounts Unsustainable

A UK industry group says electric vehicle discounts are unsustainable as manufacturers continue to pour billions into price cuts to meet government quotas. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders estimates producers spent over £5 billion ($6.7bn) slashing prices last year, working out to approximately $14,838.56 per battery-electric vehicle. Chief Executive Mike Hawes said this degree of financial support from manufacturers cannot persist, particularly as requirements escalate to 33% this year from the prior 28% benchmark. Britain registered just over two million new cars in 2025, marking the third consecutive year of expansion. Electric vehicles represented 473,340 registrations, capturing 23.4% of the market. While this represents growth from 2024 levels,…

Solid State Batteries Containing Silver Could Power the EV Transition

Solid-state batteries equipped with silver could power the global transition to battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) while dramatically reshaping global silver markets. If just 20% of electric vehicles adopt this technology, demand could jump by 16,000 metric tons annually against current mining output of approximately 25 million kilograms. This potential spike comes as industrial consumption already outstrips supply. The technology delivers compelling advantages over current lithium-ion batteries. Prototypes using silver-carbon composites reach energy densities around 500 Wh/kg, nearly double the 270 Wh/kg typical of conventional lithium-ion EV batteries. Some designs can complete charging cycles in less than 10 minutes and maintain performance for up to 20 years. These batteries also…

Dutch Students Develop Modular EV You Can Repair on Your Own

Dutch engineering students have unveiled an electric vehicle concept designed around a simple idea: drivers should be able to fix their own cars. Developed by Eindhoven University of Technology’s TU/ecomotive team, the prototype challenges an industry model that typically locks repairs behind dealerships, proprietary tools, and tightly controlled service networks. The vehicle even carries its own toolbox, signaling a deliberate shift toward user-controlled maintenance. The project arrives as debates over repair access continue to grow across Europe. While recent EU consumer rules have expanded repair rights for items like smartphones and household electronics, passenger vehicles remain largely outside those protections. The students behind the concept see their work as…
