How the Individually Customizable Slate EV Could Reshape Electric Mobility

Slate's build-your-own electric pickup could transform America's emerging battery-vehicle segment. The startup, supported by Jeff Wilke, former worldwide consumer CEO at Amazon, and backed by founder Jeff Bezos, offers a radically different approach centered on low cost and extreme personalization. Every truck begins as a stripped-down two-seater with gray composite bodywork, crank windows, and sparse equipment. Owners can then dramatically alter the vehicle. Conversion packages transform Slate pickups into five-passenger SUVs through the installation of rear seating, protective rollover structures containing curtain airbags, and overhead panels. Buyers can also choose between standard or fastback SUV styles, with professional installation running…

Tesla Unveils More Affordable Model 3 in the EU Market

Tesla is rolling out a budget-friendly Model 3 variant across Europe as the company fights to recover from declining sales and consumer backlash over Elon Musk's political activities. Lower pricing aims to broaden the buyer pool amid weakening electric vehicle demand and intensifying competition from Chinese manufacturers who continue gaining ground. Germany's pricing starts at $44,200, while Norwegian customers pay $32,600 and Swedish buyers face $47,800 for the new offering. A less expensive Model Y crossover, the company's top-selling vehicle, previously launched in both European and American markets. Budget versions strip away certain luxury features and capabilities while maintaining travel…

Xiaomi Keeps Breaking its Sales Records as Demand Soars for its EVs

Xiaomi keeps smashing its own electric vehicle sales records as soaring demand pushes its EV business into new territory. The company has now logged its third month in a row with more than 40,000 deliveries, a run that signals how quickly its EV lineup has become a serious force in China’s auto market. The streak began in September when Xiaomi EV cracked the 40,000 barrier for the first time with 41,948 deliveries. October jumped even higher with 48,654 units, a figure that made clear buyers are gravitating toward the brand’s tech-heavy approach to electric mobility. Xiaomi announced through its social…

New Vehicle Registrations in Norway Were Nearly 100% Electric in November

Norway saw almost all new car registrations go electric in November. The country recorded 19,427 battery-only vehicles out of 19,899 newly registered passenger cars, pushing the EV share to 97.6 percent and producing one of the largest monthly registration totals the market has seen. That jump moved November to the top of the year’s sales calendar. Compared with October and last November, the increase in electric deliveries was dramatic, and conventional gasoline, diesel and hybrid options now account for well under one percent of fresh registrations. The scale of the shift makes inventory and pricing questions immediate concerns for dealers…

Chinese Firm Starts Mass Producing Solid-State Batteries

GAC Group completed construction of China's first production line for large-format solid-state batteries, putting it on track to begin producing solid state batteries at a globally unprecedented scale. The facility currently operates at limited capacity producing vehicle-grade cells, but the performance targets attached to this technology have attracted international automotive industry attention. Solid-state batteries work by replacing the liquid electrolyte found in conventional lithium-ion cells with solid materials, delivering substantial improvements in thermal stability and safety. The solid components can withstand temperatures reaching 400 degrees Celsius, roughly double the tolerance of liquid-based systems. This thermal advantage proves particularly important for…

China Targets Western Agriculture in Retaliation Against EV Tariffs

Beijing has imposed tariffs on agricultural exports from the West in retaliation against electric vehicle tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle exports. Canada, the European Union, and the U.S. now face billions in agricultural tariffs after they restricted Chinese automakers from exporting mid to low cost EVs into their markets. According to Chinese officials, the farm tariffs will remain until Western nations remove vehicle import duties imposed on China. In May 2024, Washington quadrupled Chinese electric vehicle tariffs to 100%, with Europe following in July with rates between 17% and 35% and Canada matching American levels the next month. The main…

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…
