A breakthrough battery technology just passed real-world vehicle testing with enough range to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles on a single charge. The solid-state batteries could make electric vehicles practical for even the longest road trips.
The redesigned 2027 Chevy Bolt just beat its official range rating by 30 miles in real-world testing, hitting nearly 300 miles on a single charge. At under $30,000, it's proving that affordable electric cars can finally go the distance most Americans need.
Real electric vehicle owners are opening their cars and sharing their stories this Saturday at a free downtown Mobile showcase. No sales pitch, just honest answers about range, charging, and cost savings from people who drive EVs every day.
A family conquering their electric vehicle range anxiety on a 3-week road trip discovered something unexpected: charging stops made their holiday better, not worse. Their experience hints at how EVs might actually improve the way we travel.
Scientists in China have tested a semi-solid-state battery that could push electric vehicles beyond 620 miles per charge—double what most EVs achieve today. The breakthrough technology is already being tested in real vehicles and could reshape the future of electric transportation.
Electric vehicle batteries are lasting far longer than expected, with three-year-old EVs retaining 97% of their original range. Smart software and better engineering mean used EVs are becoming smarter purchases than ever.
Electric vehicle owners are reporting real-world driving ranges that crush EPA estimates, with some Ford E-Transit drivers getting 34 extra miles per charge. The secret? Efficient driving habits prove range anxiety might be overblown.
Testing wireless charging for electric vehicles just got way easier. Scientists in Tokyo built a rotating desktop device that replaces expensive test tracks, speeding up research that could let EVs charge while driving.
Chinese automaker Changan will begin testing revolutionary solid-state batteries this year that could power electric vehicles for nearly 1,000 miles on a single charge. Mass production is expected by 2027, potentially transforming how far EVs can travel.
Electric cars just got one step closer to powering Australian homes. Hyundai successfully tested vehicle-to-grid technology that could transform EVs into mobile batteries for the entire household.
FAW Group just rolled out the first electric vehicle powered by solid-state batteries that could double driving range and slash costs in half. After 470 days of development, China's oldest automaker is leading the race to replace traditional EV batteries with technology that charges faster, lasts longer, and handles extreme heat.
General Motors is betting on silicon battery technology that could nearly double electric vehicle range and slash charging times. The near-term upgrade could make EVs more practical for daily drivers and road trippers alike.
