When Scout Motors’ first electric trucks and SUVs roll off the assembly line in 2026, they will attempt to conquer the American market in ways that parent company Volkswagen has never been able to pull off before. And they will do this with something that’s an increasing rarity in the growing electric market: actual, physical buttons. Scout’s president and CEO, Scott Keogh, and its chief designer, Chris Benjamin, both confirmed this at the brand’s factory groundbreaking ceremony in Blythewood, South Carolina today. With their attempt to revive a storied American SUV nameplate, “screen fatigue” won’t be on the menu.  Get Fully Charged…

We hopped onto Tesla’s website and booked a test drive online for the following day. It was a painless process and only took a few seconds. The next morning, we headed to our local Tesla showroom, and within a few…

Toyota and Subaru products have some of the best resale values of any mass-market cars. In the luxury world, Lexus vehicles hold onto their values better than products from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and others. But while that holds for internal-combustion cars, the depreciation curve is different for the brands’ early electric efforts. The Toyota bZ4X, Subaru Solterra, and Lexus RZ all lie within that category. The Toyota and Subaru start in the mid-$40,000 range, around the same price as many competitors such as the Kia EV6, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Tesla Model Y. Despite their solid brand reputations, used examples…

At the time, Togg had not produced any electric vehicles, but the company had a factory under construction and an oversized ambition to change the future of transportation in Turkiye. It’s just the bold type of vision that’s crazy enough to come true, and they have been anything but idle at Togg. Istanbul, Turkiye, sits at the intersection of Europe and Asia, and because of this, it…

Targeting Tesla, BYD, and cheaper EV batteries The revised EV policy is Korea’s attempt to give domestic automakers an edge as they look to level the playing field. “Tesla dropping prices last year, coupled with the rise of BYD, kicked off a price war in the global EV market,” Yang Jin-Soo, who leads Hyundai’s…

Earlier this month, Rivian announced that its highly anticipated R2 model, potentially a mid-size SUV or crossover, was set to be unveiled on March 7, 2024. Leading up to the unveiling event next month at the Laguna Beach showroom in Orange County, California, Rivian is stoking enthusiasts’ curiosity with the release of the R2’s first official teaser. There are no big surprises here. Much of the teaser showcases people expressing joy in various forms, and at the end of it, there’s a Rivian parked in a dark and shadowy garage. Then the front LED light bar of the baby Rivian…

Sony and Honda may be working together on a Civic-sized EV. Lancia rolls out the start of an EV revival. Rivian shines some light on the R2. And Lucid cuts prices. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.  Thursday, Lucid cut prices on the 2024 Air lineup. Affecting all but the top-performance, tri-motor Sapphire version, the very long-range, fast-charging electric sedan costs up to $8,000 less than it did yesterday. And the Lucid Air now undercuts the Tesla Model S—if you don’t require all-wheel drive.  Stellantis, the parent of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, and more, is pushing ahead to…

The Rivian R2 lineup is due to debut March 7.  The California-based electric truck maker has revealed very little about the R2 as of yet, other than that it will be smaller and lower-priced than the existing R1 lineup—and, from an early tease above, that it will keep the original R1 lineup’s distinctive front lightbar and vertical-oval headlamps, which had been a polarizing look albeit a fan favorite.  While the R1T pickup and R1S SUV are full-size trucks—or within a few inches of full-size, by any American assessment—the R2 lineup is expected to cover a middle ground that would also…
