Delaware Governor Vows to Eliminate EV Mandate in the State

Just three months into his four-year term, Delaware Governor Matt Meyer has revealed that he is working to eliminate a controversial electric vehicle mandate passed by the previous governor. During his 2025 State of the State address, Governor Meyer noted that he wasn’t a fan of government mandates and would do away with the rule requiring car dealerships in Delaware to have an increasing number of new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on their lots. Former Delaware Governor John Carney spent almost two years advocating for the mandate, and his administration adopted the regulation in November 2023. According to the mandate,…

Tesla Seems to Be Struggling on Many Fronts, Data Shows

2025 has been a pretty rough year for Tesla, the Texas-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer that took the world by storm in 2008 and grew to become the most dominant EV maker globally. With CEO Elon Musk becoming increasingly involved in U.S. politics, a notable portion of the automaker’s mostly left-leaning market has turned away from Tesla, causing its sales and share price to fall sharply. The once-beloved EV leader has also faced regular protests at various showrooms in major markets like the U.S., and its much-anticipated electric truck, the Cybertruck, has been widely criticized, raising questions about Tesla's ability…

Major Carmakers Urge Congress to Override California’s 2035 EV Mandate

Several major carmakers have urged the U.S. Congress to override a 2035 electric vehicle mandate set by California. As the largest electric vehicle market in the U.S. and the world, California has set an incredibly ambitious target of banning the sale of internal combustion engine cars by 2035. Nearly a dozen other states in the United States have adopted similar electric vehicle mandates and put carmakers operating in the country on a path to electrifying most of their vehicle lineups. However, automakers say that they may have to stop shipping some cars to states with similar mandates within the next…

The American States Where EV Savings are Highest

Switching to an electric car often seems like an incredibly costly endeavor. The average battery electric vehicle (BEV) costs around $10,000 to $15,000 more than a comparable gasoline-powered car, and most EV owners also install home chargers, making the initial price of electric vehicle ownership significantly higher. Fortunately, switching your gas-powered car for an electric alternative can save you a surprising amount of money over time. A report from Payless Power provides an outline of the average cost savings a driver can expect by transitioning to an electric car. Washington offers the highest electric vehicle-related savings, with drivers saving up…

China’s CATL Unveils a Sodium-Ion Battery Lineup

China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has launched a brand new lineup of sodium-ion batteries dubbed Naxtra as well as a second generation of its first charging Shenxing electric vehicle battery. According to CATL, the new lineup of Naxtra batteries will begin mass production in December. Most battery electric vehicles (BEVs) on the market currently use lithium ion battery packs but there has been a notable push to develop alternative EV batteries that are more energy dense and are less likely to combust. CATL was the first large auto battery maker to introduce the sodium-ion battery, a new type…

Horse Powertrain Seeks to Hybridize EVs

As the auto industry adjusts to a future likely dominated by hybrids, a company called Horse Powertrain has created a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) retrofit package that allows automakers to develop hybrids and electric cars on the same assembly lines. This new technology could usher in a new generation of hybrid electric vehicles featuring both a battery and a combustion engine, but in a different configuration from traditional PHEVs. Designed as a drop-in replacement for front-wheel-drive electric vehicles, the hybridization system can be bolted directly onto a vehicle’s subframe and integrated into existing electrical systems with minimal modification. The…

Why EVs Help in Combating Climate Change

Despite the challenges that the electric vehicle industry has faced in recent months, most experts agree that EVs will have a notable effect on global greenhouse gas emissions. By replacing the conventional internal combustion engine with a battery pack and electric drivetrain, automakers can cut down tailpipe emissions to zero, allowing the auto industry to significantly reduce its impact on the environment. Unfortunately, there are a myriad of obstacles preventing widespread electric vehicle adoption. In addition to the incredibly high cost of purchasing a new EV, the current Trump administration is systematically removing Biden-era policies that supported electric vehicle purchases…

Social Leasing Programs Could Improve EV Affordability in Europe

Drivers in Europe could afford battery electric vehicles (BEVs) if they had access to social leasing programs, some experts say. Prohibitively high prices have placed electric cars out of reach for most drivers in major vehicle markets, limiting EVs to affluent consumers with disposable income and hindering the broader transition to electric mobility. Although Europe is a world leader in electric vehicle adoption, there is still plenty of room for growth. Launching social leasing programs could allow Europeans who cannot afford EVs at current prices to access them without breaking the bank. This could accelerate electric vehicle adoption across the…

German Study Finds Electric Vehicles More Reliable Than Conventional Vehicles

A study conducted by the German automobile club Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC) has found that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are more resistant to breaking down compared to similarly aged internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. The ADAC study found that gas-powered vehicles typically suffer two and a half times more breakdowns than EVs, suggesting that electric cars are more reliable than traditional vehicles over the long term. ADAC maintains a database containing records of all the vehicle breakdowns handled by the association’s “Yellow Angel” service responders. This database has expanded significantly year after year, allowing for an in-depth analysis of breakdown…

EU, China to Consider Setting Baseline EV Prices

A European Commission spokesperson has revealed that the European Union (EU) and China are considering setting baseline prices for electric cars manufactured in China. Negotiations between Beijing and Brussels commenced last week and could lead to a resolution that allows Chinese automakers to export their electric vehicles to Europe without facing hefty import tariffs. The German newspaper Handelsblatt also reported that China and the EU have agreed to explore the possibility of setting minimum EV prices for units originating from China, potentially ending a dispute that could have untold consequences for both China and Europe's auto markets. Germany, in particular,…
