The Porsche Macan Electric is outselling the gasoline model this year, partly because the ICE version is no longer sold in the European Union. There won’t be any internal competition for long, as the gas-powered Macan will be retired globally in 2026. A new combustion-engine crossover with a different name is in development but won’t debut until 2028. In the meantime, Zuffenhausen is expanding the electric lineup with a fifth variant. The all-wheel-drive Macan GTS slots between the 4S and Turbo, borrowing the latter’s electric motor. Porsche quotes a combined output of 509 horsepower, rising to 563 hp with launch…

ChargePoint plans to roll out 600-kW chargers starting next year. There are no EVs currently available or even planned for release in the U.S. that need that much charging power. The most powerful EV chargers currently operational in America top out at 400 kW. By now, it’s no secret that China is way ahead in the electric-vehicle race, and the rest of the world has little potential of catching up. That includes EV charging infrastructure. The Chinese market now has several cars for sale that charge at 1 megawatt—1,000 kilowatts—and public charging stations are ready to provide that power. In practical terms, that…

Ahead of the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, it seems domestic automakers have agreed not to steal each other’s spotlight during the teaser campaign. On Monday, Toyota previewed an electric Corolla and a Century Coupe. Yesterday, Mazda gave us a glimpse of a swoopy four-door concept. Today, it’s Subaru’s turn to share shadowy images of a pair of STI-branded show cars. We dialed up the brightness to unlock more details. The fully electric Performance-E STI concept leans toward a fastback silhouette, featuring slimmer headlights flanking a narrower hood. Its front bumper has a sharper, more angular design, while the wheels appear…
Ford is cutting prices on the electric pickup by up to $4,000 to offset the loss of the federal EV tax credit. The 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning now offers more driving range at a lower price. 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning prices and range by trim After the Tesla Cybertruck took the title as America’s best-selling electric pickup last year, the Ford F-150 Lightning is back on top in 2025.

BMW somehow sold a brand-new first-generation i3 EV in the U.S. this year. The car was discontinued stateside in 2021. Most likely, a dealer had the car stashed away somewhere and finally sold it in the third quarter of 2025. The first-generation BMW i3 will always be remembered as a quirky and innovative electric car, but what’s even more interesting is that someone, somewhere in the United States, bought a brand-new one recently. That’s despite the fact that BMW stopped making the U.S.-spec i3 in mid-2021. So, how does a car that was discontinued nearly half a decade ago end…

There doesn’t seem to be a ton of demand for electric supercars, but Ferrari is still forging ahead. The car, which is simply called the Electtrica for now, will make its full debut sometime next year. In the meantime, Ferrari is revealing preliminary specs on this new model—and from a technical perspective, it sounds fascinating. The Electtrica will be a grand tourer in the mould of the old GTC4Lusso, but it will still have a forward driving position and a relatively short wheelbase of 116.5 inches, more like its mid-engine supercar counterparts. Ferrari developed both the 800-volt battery and motors…
