China Taps EVs to Power the Grid

China has installed roughly 30 two-way charging facilities across nine major cities. The specialized stations would allow parked electric cars to discharge stored electricity back into power networks during high-demand periods, allowing China to tap into its massive EV fleet to power the national grid. Beijing plans to scale this pilot program to 5,000 such facilities by 2027 as part of the country's 28 million charging point infrastructure. Authorities anticipate that full-scale deployment could contribute one billion kilowatts of generating capacity within five years as the country's vehicle fleet reaches 100 million units. The vehicle to grid (V2G) concept treats…

Next-Gen EVs Need Clear Descriptions to Inform Regulatory Processes

With electric vehicles entering the market in the near future expected to do far more than provide clean transportation, they will need clear descriptions to inform regulatory processes. Future models can charge from the grid and send power back, enabling owners to run their homes during blackouts or supply electricity when grid capacity is low. Such technology could strengthen electrical networks, smooth renewable energy fluctuations, and cut household energy costs. However, regulatory confusion risks derailing the benefits of bidirectional charging before they materialize. Vague interconnection rules for bidirectional EV charging create the primary obstacle. Many jurisdictions define any vehicle with…

Even Without Subsidies, EVs Still Cheaper Than Gasoline Cars Long Term

Recent research has revealed that electric cars are still more affordable than internal combustion engine (ICE) cars over the long term despite the federal $7,500 rebate for EVs being phased out. The Big Beautiful Bill fundamentally altered the EV ownership equation and raised questions about whether gasoline cars now make more economic sense. Industry analysts who examined the complete economic picture say that when all factors affecting EV-related expenses are combined, they typically cost less across their lifespan even though they cost more. Real-world comparisons using the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox illustrate the difference. Its electric version carries a $36,495 base…

EU to Unveil New CO2 Rules for Fleets this December

Automotive sector sources cited by Automobilwoche report that the European Commission plans to reveal its revised carbon dioxide regulations for commercial vehicle fleets in mid-December. December 16 appears to be the target date, though Commission officials declined to confirm specifics. A spokesperson acknowledged that work continues on the proposal and promised that details would emerge soon. In the meantime, critics warn that the upcoming rules could reshape vehicle markets as dramatically as the bloc's 2035 zero-emission mandate. In Germany, Europe's largest vehicle market, commercial registrations represent two-thirds of new vehicle sales, making the stakes particularly high. The EU defines fleets…

Tesla Records Declining Sales in Europe in October

Tesla's October performance across Europe painted a grim picture for the American automaker. Sales plummeted by 50% in Norway, 48% in the Netherlands, 86% in Denmark, and 89% in Sweden versus October 2023. Spain saw a 31% decline despite the country's overall electric vehicle market jumping 119%. Only France managed a modest uptick, marking the second consecutive monthly gain there. Norway's falling Tesla sales proved particularly telling. The Texas-based electric vehicle company had posted several months of growth in a market where nearly all new vehicles sold run on electricity, maintaining its position as the top automaker in Norway. That…

Why EVs Could Soon Be Cheaper Than Gas Cars

Electric vehicle prices are falling faster than ever across the United States, Europe, and China, bringing battery-powered cars within reach of gasoline vehicle price points for the first time. The shift marks a fundamental change from years of premium pricing and is primarily driven by collapsing raw material costs, aggressive manufacturer discounting, and an influx of affordable Chinese models flooding global markets. Lithium and nickel prices have fallen by over 60% from their 2022 peaks, dramatically reducing battery production costs. A global price war triggered by major players like Tesla, BYD, Hyundai, and Nissan has led to steep discounts across…

Reports Indicate Canada is Poised to Lift Tariffs on EVs from China

Canada has initiated a formal review of its 100% tariff on electric vehicles imported from China, with speculation mounting that the measure could be eliminated as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. The reassessment represents a potential departure from Washington's trade stance and could reshape North American automotive competition. Ottawa imposed the tariff in October 2024, citing concerns that Chinese manufacturers benefited from state subsidies and unfair production practices. Beijing responded with retaliatory measures in March and August 2025, imposing duties on Canadian agricultural products including canola oil, oil-cakes,…

France Starts Testing Motorway That Can Charge EVs

France has begun testing a motorway system capable of recharging electric vehicles as they travel on the A10 route nearly 25 miles southwest of Paris. Engineers embedded induction coils beneath 0.9 miles of asphalt on the A10 motorway and connected them to electrical power supplies controlled through software and sensor systems. Dubbed ‘Charge as You Drive’, it is a collaboration between Electreon, VINCI Autoroutes, Hutchinson, Gustave Eiffel University, and VINCI Construction to test the feasibility of dynamic wireless charging technology under real traffic conditions. When electric vehicles equipped with receiver coils pass over the sections with embedded coils, energy transfers…

Hyundai Seeks Patent for EV Battery Resembling Gas Engine

Hyundai Motor Company has filed a patent for an unconventional battery architecture that positions energy storage behind the driver, replicating the mid-engine configuration found in performance vehicles. The South Korean automaker's T-shaped battery arrangement aims to deliver balanced mass allocation and handling dynamics that are similar to high-performance sports cars without impacting electric vehicle efficiency. Patent documentation reveals the energy module positioned between the rear axle and cabin area. One arm of the T sits laterally across the rear wheel span, with the perpendicular section extending forward into the area beneath passengers. This configuration enables manufacturers to preserve low, aerodynamic…

GM Loses $1.6 Billion as the EV Landscape Changes

General Motors (GM) has recorded a massive $1.6 billion loss as dwindling electric vehicle demand and limited federal support have forced American automakers to rethink their electrification strategies. Several major carmakers in the country went all-in on electrification during the Biden administration and invested tens of billions of dollars in building new electric vehicle lines to lead America's electric vehicle future. However, these companies miscalculated market demand for electric cars and failed to account for how high prices, range anxiety, and customer disinterest in electric cars would affect demand. As a result, most carmakers had to go back to the…
