Ford has confirmed that it’s halting construction of a $3.5 million battery plant in Michigan that the automaker had focused on just months earlier as a key for EV affordability. The plant, near Marshall, Michigan, was due to create about 2,500 jobs and make lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, which tend to be much cheaper to produce than the nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries that Ford currently uses in its EVs. When the plant was announced, in February, Ford said that the plant would make “one of the lowest-cost U.S.-produced batteries.” That said, the cost of producing those cells appears to be at the…

Swedish boat company Candela is not only taking electric mobility to the seas but is also breaking world records along the way. The Candela C-8 set a new world record last week, by covering 420 nautical miles, or 483 miles in 24 hours over the in-land waterways around Stockholm. The boat set sail from the Frihamnen port in the capital city on an overcast day, elevating above the water thanks to its deployable hydrofoils – wing-like structures under the boat that boost performance and efficiency – and dual counter-rotating propellers. The C-8 is Polestar powered, using the same 69 kilowatt-hour…
If there’s a theme that carries across plug-in hybrids of all kinds this year, it’s that batteries are getting bigger and electric-only driving range is getting longer.

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid that the German automaker announced for the U.S. market on Monday will land right between the V-6 Cayenne E-Hybrid and the V-8 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid versions in performance and price. Including the $1,650 destination fee, that amounts to…
US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously drives a Tesla Model 3, which she vowed to replace with a union-made electric vehicle in May 2022 weeks after she clashed with Elon Musk on Twitter (now X).

As labor strikes organized by the United Auto Workers (UAW) against Detroit’s Big Three carmakers have entered the tenth day, Ocasio-Cortez admitted she still doesn’t own an EV made by union workers. The Democratic congresswoman said she bought her Tesla Model 3…
