The definitive daily read on electric mobility.

John Deere just unveiled its Z370RS Electric ZTrak riding mower, featuring removable 56V ARC Lithium batteries from EGO. This groundbreaking collaboration allows users to swap batteries in seconds and use them across other EGO tools, making electric lawn care more versatile and convenient than ever.

Kia, once an aggressive EV trailblazer, is recalibrating its U.S. strategy, emphasizing hybrids alongside EVs due to market shifts, expiring tax credits, and tariffs. The company is now focused on offering a broader "choice" to customers, rather than an all-out electric push.

Toyota’s new bZ7 electric flagship sedan, launched exclusively in China, is packed with cutting-edge tech like Huawei's HarmonyOS, LiDAR-based ADAS, and Xiaomi's smart ecosystem, all for under $30,000. It's a testament to Chinese innovation, and frankly, makes us jealous it's not available globally.

Hyundai is gunning for ultra-fast EV charging, aiming to hit 400 kW speeds and eventually a mind-boggling three-minute full charge. This ambitious goal seeks to eliminate range anxiety and match the convenience of gas refueling, pushing battery technology and infrastructure to new limits.

First Solar just opened a massive 2.4 million-square-foot factory in Louisiana, equivalent to 11 Superdomes, boosting U.S. solar manufacturing. This $1.1 billion facility is set to churn out 3.5 GW of Series 7 modules annually, bringing hundreds of jobs and advanced AI-driven production to the region.

Daimler Truck AG’s CEO Karin Rådström is making some audacious claims about hydrogen’s viability for heavy-duty transport, suggesting it’s cheaper and easier to deploy than an electric charging grid. Critics are quick to point out these claims might be more about securing investment than grounded reality.

Volvo is reportedly cutting ties with LiDAR technology for its 2026 models, including the ES90 and EX90, sparking a heated dispute with supplier Luminar. This move reverses course on a key safety tech and highlights the ongoing debate between camera-first and sensor-heavy autonomous driving systems.

Hyundai and Kia EV owners using Tesla Superchargers might be charging slower than they think. Their 800-volt architecture isn't always playing nice with Tesla's 500-volt system, leading to extended wait times. For a real quick juice, hit up those 800V-plus stations like Electrify America!

Ford's upcoming $30,000 electric pickup is ditching traditional boxy truck looks for extreme aerodynamics, as the company's design and EV chiefs reveal a direct link between drag reduction and slashing battery costs.

British Columbia is pumping the brakes on its ambitious 100% ZEV sales target for 2035 and ditching direct consumer rebates, aligning its future EV strategy with federal guidelines while focusing heavily on charging infrastructure.
