Tesla Comes Under Regulatory Scrutiny Over Jammed Doors Trapping Kids

Regulators in the U.S. have launched a probe into electric vehicle giant Tesla in response to reports of jammed doors trapping children in Teslas. After several reports emerged of Tesla door handles failing and trapping kids inside 2021 Model Ys, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began a preliminary review into Tesla and its flagship electric vehicle. Although the NHTSA received just nine reports of Tesla doors jamming, the agency is taking this quite seriously, and its preliminary investigations found that the issue occurs when door locks do not receive enough voltage. Four of the Tesla drivers who…

Why EVs Could Trigger Motion Sickness, and Ways to Cope

Phil Bellamy thought he was doing his family a favor when he switched to an electric car for the daily school run. Instead, his teenage daughters now refuse to ride with him unless they take motion sickness tablets first. What should have been a smooth, quiet ride turned into a daily battle with nausea that only happened in his electric vehicle. Bellamy's experience isn't unique. Research shows that people who never had motion sickness problems in conventional cars are developing symptoms when riding in electric vehicles. The issue has become significant enough that families are changing their travel plans and…

Reports Indicate Another Phone Giant is Entering the EV Fray

Another major smartphone manufacturer may be entering the battery electric vehicle (BEV) segment after both Apple and Xiaomi tried their hand at BEV manufacturing with varying results. While Apple spent over a decade and invested a whopping $10 billion into its electric vehicle ambitions and ultimately shut the project down without selling a single EV, Xiaomi's debut electric car was incredibly successful and the Chinese company has received hundreds of thousands of pre-orders. Samsung, the most dominant Android smartphone developer, is reportedly dipping its toes into the burgeoning electric vehicle segment, becoming the third smartphone manufacturer to include electric vehicle…

PHEVs Provide the Sweet Spot Between Gasoline and Pure Electric Vehicles

Battery-powered vehicles with gasoline backup systems can act as a bridge between gas-powered cars and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Referred to as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), these hybrid solutions reduce range anxiety concerns among potential EV drivers while introducing consumers to electric propulsion technology in a familiar format. Unlike conventional hybrids that supplement gasoline engines with minimal battery assistance, these vehicles can travel 20 to 30 miles on electricity alone before engaging their combustion engines. This is enough electric range to cover most daily commuting and local errands, and the combustion engine essentially provides unlimited travel range through traditional…

Trump’s Hostility to EVs Will Impact the Transition to Clean Energy

The Trump administration's evident hostility to electric cars will have a major effect on America's transition to renewables. Shortly after President Trump assumed office, he began a campaign to undo most of the Biden administration's climate action-related policies and has since rescinded over 100 policies designed by the previous administration to boost electric vehicle adoption in the country. In addition to slowing down EV adoption, these actions may impact the country's transition from fossil fuels to green energy. Research from Carnegie Mellon University has demonstrated how the current administration's decision to pull federal support for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) could…

Canada Eases EV Mandate as US Tariffs Cause Upheavals

Ottawa has scrapped its plan requiring automakers to sell emission-free cars as one-fifth of their inventory next year, bowing to industry pressure as businesses struggle with punitive duties from Washington. Mark Carney's Liberal administration announced the reversal Friday, abandoning a key climate policy his predecessor Justin Trudeau had championed just two years earlier. The backtrack represents a stunning capitulation to automotive lobbying groups who complained about financial strain from the mandate. Car manufacturers had argued they couldn't simultaneously meet environmental targets while absorbing costs from American import penalties targeting multiple Canadian industries, creating what they described as an impossible operational…

Indian Tax Panel Recommends Additional Levies on Luxury EVs

Luxury electric cars in India may soon become more expensive for consumers if an Indian tax panel's recommendation for additional levies on luxury EVs goes through. According to a government document, the tax panel is proposing higher consumer levies for electric cars that cost more than $46,000, a move designed to boost consumption of locally produced goods at the expense of foreign companies like Tesla, BYD, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Although India's electric vehicle market is in its nascent stage, the country is a high-potential market for automakers who want to dominate the global auto landscape in the next couple of…

Xiaomi Again Exceeds 30,000 EV Deliveries in a Month

Chinese consumer electronics giant Xiaomi is proving that its phenomenally successful entry into the battery electric vehicle (BEV) sector wasn't a fluke. Sales data from the Haidian District, Beijing-based company reveal that it recently delivered more than 30,000 electric cars in a month for the second time in a row, a sure sign that Xiaomi's electric cars enjoy significant consumer demand. Previous entries by consumer electronics companies to pivot to electric vehicle production haven't been as successful. Apple, for instance, invested billions of dollars into developing a battery electric vehicle from the ground up but shut the project down a…

Porsche Shelves Plans to Make its Own EV Batteries Over Cost Concerns

German sports and high-performance automaker Porsche has revealed that it is shelving plans to manufacture its own electric vehicle batteries due to cost concerns. In a statement published on Monday, Porsche said it would scale down its high-performance EV battery division, Cellforce, and focus on research and development (R&D) amid weaker than expected electric vehicle demand and difficult conditions in two of the largest electric vehicle markets on the globe: China and the United States. According to Porsche, its plan to develop EV batteries internally proved to be uneconomical. The automaker's unsuccessful attempt to build its own EV battery supply…

IRS Provides Tax Credit Breathing Room for EV Buyers

Americans interested in switching to electric mobility have more time to take advantage of the federal EV tax incentive after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) amended the terms governing the phase-out of the historic tax incentive. First launched by the Bush administration and expanded by the following Obama and Biden administrations, these incentives were instrumental in making battery electric vehicles (BEVs) more affordable to average consumers and boosting BEV adoption in the country. However, the Trump administration's massive spending and tax bill hastened the expiration date of these federal tax incentives, putting immense pressure on drivers who have plans to…
