BYD Expands to Make PHEVs in Addition to EVs

BYD, the Chinese vehicle company that has surpassed Tesla as the best-selling EV maker on several occasions, is making plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) a major part of its new energy vehicle strategy. Although the Shenzhen, China-based company is now known as one of the largest battery electric vehicle (BEV) companies in the world, BYD’s first foray into new energy vehicles was a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the BYD F3DM, launched in 2008 as the first mass-produced PHEV in the world. The automaker has now updated its strategy to increase its focus on PHEVs and even hydrogen fuel cell electric…

Tesla Announces Comprehensive Incentives, Discounts for its US EV Buyers

Texas-based electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has announced a broad slate of new incentives and discounts for American customers in an effort to boost weakening sales in the domestic market ahead of the expiration of federal EV tax credits. The federal tax credit, worth up to $7,500, has been key to making battery electric vehicles (BEVs) more affordable for the average U.S. buyer. As the top EV brand in the country for over a decade, Tesla has indirectly benefited from the program, with buyers collectively claiming more than $1.5 billion in tax credits on Tesla vehicles. With those credits set to…

An EV Pullback is Taking Shape in the US

Something worrying is going on in America’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) industry. After years of making ambitious electrification plans, several carmakers in the country are delaying the launch of new models or canceling them entirely, largely in response to the Trump administration's anti-electric vehicle stance. With the GOP undoing most of the EV-related policies set by the previous administration, American carmakers find themselves in an incredibly volatile environment that doesn’t seem to have much support for alternative energy vehicles. The Trump administration first ordered states to halt the previous administration’s $5 billion public electric vehicle charging network project, stopping the…

Panasonic Rethinks its Battery Production Timelines in Kansas Amid Changing US Policies

Japanese electronics manufacturer Panasonic is rethinking production timelines for its battery plant in Kansas amidst shifting politics in the U.S. and a decline in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales. First announced in 2022, the $4 billion De Soto battery production plant was billed as the biggest economic development project in Kansas history. After two years of construction, the 4.7 million-square-foot facility was launched with much aplomb on July 14 in a grand opening that featured a traditional Japanese ceremony for marking new beginnings. Unfortunately, the launch coincides with a period of great upheaval in the American electric vehicle sector. EV…

Domestic Competition Pushes Chinese EV Firms to Expand Internationally

With dozens of brands selling battery electric and plug-in hybrid cars in China, competition in the world’s largest electric vehicle market has grown incredibly fierce. Although China’s vehicle market is incredibly vast, there just isn’t enough room for the more than 100 electric vehicle companies that are currently fighting to gain a foothold. As a result, many Chinese electric vehicle companies are looking beyond the country to foreign markets that still have untapped electric vehicle demand. These companies have one major advantage compared to other automakers: their EVs are cheap and affordable. While the average electric car is much more…

Chinese Firm BYD to Commence Vehicle Assembly in Brazil

Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD is set to begin assembling battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Brazil this year. The Shenzhen, China-based automaker first entered the Brazilian market in 2021 and sold more than 100,000 electric cars before the Brazilian government reintroduced import tariffs on BEVs, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). With their introduction, BYD risked losing access to its largest foreign market as the import duties would make it increasingly harder for the automaker to sell its affordable electric cars at low prices in Brazil. To avoid paying import tariffs on its electric cars, BYD…

China Dominates in Adopting Long-Haul Electric Trucks

China's dominance of the global passenger electric vehicle market is also extending to long-haul electric trucks. In addition to being the largest producer and market for passenger battery electric vehicles (BEVs), China has surpassed both the U.S. and Europe in the adoption of electric trucks. With the Trump administration recently cutting federal electric vehicle subsidies and halting the deployment of public chargers using federal funds, the U.S. risks being left far behind Beijing. In nearly two decades since the first mass market BEV hit the market, passenger EVs have become the default form factor for electric mobility. Most automakers have…

Recently Enacted US Budget Act Ends Tax Incentives for EV Buyers

President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will put a definitive end to federal tax incentives for electric vehicle buyers. In its quest to undo most of the Biden administration's climate action-related policies, the Trump administration initially laid out a timeline for phasing out EV tax credits through 2025. However, the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill will effectively end the federal EV incentive on September 30th. According to the huge tax and spending cut measure, American drivers interested in purchasing an electric car will have three more months to subsidize the EV purchase using the $7,500 tax incentive. In a market…

Chinese EV Maker Xiaomi Presells 300,000 EVs in 60 Minutes

Xiaomi, the Chinese tech giant that recently made its foray into manufacturing battery electric vehicles (BEVs), received nearly 300,000 pre-orders just an hour after launching a new EV. Dubbed the YU7, Xiaomi’s 5-seater electric car is its second mass-market electric car and will cost $54,000 (253,500 yuan), almost 4% cheaper than the best-selling Tesla Model Y.

According to the Beijing, China-based company, the fact that its first electric SUV had 280,000 pre-orders within one hour of launch is a miraculous achievement in the…
