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…

Survey Finds Most Drivers Happiest in EVs

A new study published by data analysis and consumer intelligence firm JD Power has found that electric vehicle owners are the happiest drivers on the road. The 2026 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study by JD Power found that EV drivers are happier about their vehicle purchases compared to drivers with gas-powered and hybrid cars. The study gauged the level of excitement and emotional attachment new vehicle owners felt for their vehicles. Its findings put electric cars in quite a positive light. While all new car owners were happier with their purchase in 2026 compared to last year, electric vehicle drivers were…

EV Registrations Surge Across the EU in H1 2026

Vehicle registration data released by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has revealed that electric vehicle registrations surged by 5.7% across the European Union (EU) in the first half of 2026. The rise in EV registrations was largely due to increased demand for hybrid cars and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). In the meantime, automakers in the American market are increasingly moving away from pure EV production due to falling demand and an unfavorable political environment. Europe remains the second-largest electric vehicle market in the world after China. In the EU, BEVs made up 20.7% of the vehicle market in H1 2026, a 15.6% jump from H1 2025 that…

More US Automakers Abandon Their EV Plans

With more American automakers phasing down their electric vehicle production ambitions, America’s fledgling battery electric vehicle (BEV) sector is contracting at a notable pace. The early years of EV production in the country were filled with hope for the industry’s future, largely driven by Tesla and its game-changing electric Roadster. However, merely 2 decades after Tesla kickstarted the modern electric vehicle race, American firms are bowing out of the burgeoning industry. Low demand, high costs, and rising living expenses in the U.S. contributed to the initial decline in U.S. electric vehicle sales. The resulting shock was so jarring that nearly every established American carmaker lowered their electric vehicle ambitions. Planned investments were cut, models…

Why EV Prices are Quietly Dropping in Germany

A recent review of the German automobile market has found that electric vehicle prices are declining in Germany and the broader European market. According to joint research conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI) and the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), battery electric vehicle (BEV) prices have fallen by nearly 20% over the past half-decade. Furthermore, BEVs sold in European markets like Germany have steadily improved in range and performance, and potential buyers now have a lot more EV models to choose from. Researchers reviewed tens of thousands of vehicle data points from half a dozen auto market segments ranging from…
