Rivian is offering a credit of up to $6,500 when leasing a new R1S or R1T. Not all vehicles are eligible for the discount, though, with the most notable absentee being the quad-motor version of the two EVs. Besides the lease rebate, Rivian is also slashing $2,000 off the price of its All-Terrain package. The $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric cars is dead, but there are still some good deals to be had, as several automakers are coming up with ways to entice potential customers. After Ford, General Motors and Hyundai, it’s Rivian’s turn to come up with…
Swedish electric boat maker Candela has just secured a major deal in Southeast Asia: ten of its P-12 electric hydrofoil ferries will soon operate the route to Koh Kood, one of Thailand’s most pristine and least developed islands. The agreement, signed in Bangkok during the SX Sustainability Expo, pairs Candela with Thai operator Seudamgo by Leopard Transportation Co., Ltd. It marks a significant shift for Koh Kood, where access has long relied on noisy, gas-powered speedboats that pump out emissions, churn up damaging wakes, and clash with the quiet, natural character of the island. Local officials and Swedish representatives, including…
October marks the end of production for the current-generation Boxster and Cayman. What comes after? Well, it’s complicated. Porsche initially announced that the 718 would be available only in electric form, but then it changed its mind. Those EVs are still on the way, but they’ll be joined by combustion-powered versions. Here’s the kicker: the ICE models will be considered the “top” versions, positioned above the purely electric cars. A new report makes things even murkier. The next-generation Boxster and Cayman with gas power may be electrified as well. Autocar claims the ICE 718s will adopt a hybrid setup pioneered…
Tesla’s US EV sales received a temporary boost as the $7,500 federal tax credit nears expiration. The gap between Tesla and BYD’s BEV sales narrowed to the smallest in the past four quarters. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) achieved record quarterly deliveries as US consumers accelerated purchases of electric vehicles (EVs) ahead of the federal tax credit expiration, following a weak start to the year. The US EV maker delivered a record 497,099 vehicles globally in the third quarter, surpassing Wall Street’s forecast of 439,612 units, according to data released today. The quarterly deliveries rose 7.39 percent year-on-year and surged 29.41 percent…
The $7,500 federal EV tax credit expires on Wednesday, and it probably won’t come back. It’s the reason why EV leases are so cheap, so if you want an affordable EV, you should act soon. There are great deals on both mainstream and luxury EVs, you just have to know where to look. The time has come. Later this coming week, the federal clean vehicle tax credit will disappear, and many of the “I can’t believe this price” lease deals will go with it. But it’s not gone yet, and you can still get a truly absurd price. Here’s how…

Subaru’s 2026 lineup will look a lot different and cost just a bit more than last year, despite several models maintaining their 2025 MSRPs. Destination charges are increasing for the upcoming model year, making many of the automaker’s cars slightly more expensive than before. However, others receive substantial price increases. The 2026 BRZ loses its base model and is now $2,675 more to start—the affordable sports car barely exists anymore. The Impreza also lost its entry-level trim, leaving buyers with fewer affordable options. While Subaru has released pricing information for most of its lineup, we’re still waiting for…

The four EREV variants start at RMB…
The original Chevrolet Bolt EV is a great commuter car. It’s affordable, simple and unpretentious. It’s also not exactly fast. In other words, it’s not exactly race car material. But that didn’t stop a small team of enthusiasts from turning a Bolt into a fun weekend track car. The Chevrolet Bolt EV is a great little commuter. With used models starting from just under $10,000, it’s one of the best deals out there. You get over 200 miles of range and a decently sized car that can go from A to B without breaking the bank. It also has 200…
Coca-Cola’s bottling partners in India are going electric, three wheels at a time. The company just announced a major expansion of its electric delivery fleet, adding thousands of electric three-wheeled vehicles (often called e-rickshaws or electric tuk-tuks) to its logistics operations across the country. These compact electric vehicles are already a common sight on India’s roads, used for everything from passenger transport to last-mile cargo deliveries. Now Coca-Cola’s bottlers are ramping up their use of these efficient EVs as part of a broader sustainability and welfare initiative dubbed “Vividhta ka Uphaar,” which translates to “a gift of diversity.” According to…
