Xiaomi reveals full specs of its 1,900 hp Vision GT electric hypercar concept

3 weeks 5 days ago

Xiaomi has revealed the full technical specifications of its Vision Gran Turismo electric hypercar concept at MWC Barcelona, and the details are genuinely impressive — including a magnetic wheel system that keeps wheel covers stationary while the car is moving.

The concept, which we first reported on last week when it leaked ahead of MWC, is now on full display at the show with a detailed spec sheet and some unique engineering solutions that go well beyond a typical concept car design exercise.

Polestar 4 on ice: 544 hp and fine-tuned dynamics make it a blast to drift

3 weeks 6 days ago

I spent a full day drifting the Polestar 4 on ice at Quebec’s Mecaglisse track, and I came away seriously impressed with how well Polestar has tuned the dynamics of its 544-hp electric SUV coupé.

The ice driving event gave me a chance to experience the dual-motor Polestar 4’s all-wheel-drive system in slow motion — pushing the vehicle to its limits in a controlled environment that reveals every nuance of how power is distributed and how the chassis responds.

Donut Lab solid-state battery survives 100°C discharge in second independent test

3 weeks 6 days ago

Donut Lab has released a second set of independent test results for its controversial solid-state battery — this time proving the cell can discharge at extreme temperatures up to 100°C and actually gain capacity in the process.

The new VTT report, released just one week after the first test confirmed the cell’s fast-charging capability at 0-80% in 4.5 minutes, adds another data point in favor of Donut Lab’s claims. But the most extraordinary specs remain unverified.

Tesla increases Cybertruck AWD price to $70,000 after creating artificial urgency

4 weeks ago

Tesla has increased the price of the new Cybertruck AWD from $59,990 to $69,990 — a 17% price hike that took effect today, just 10 days after the trim was introduced.

The price increase follows what might be one of the most cynical new trim introductions in the history of the auto industry: launch at a low price, create urgency by announcing the price will increase in 10 days, then claim the price hike is justified by the inflated demand you just created.

I tested the weird, tiny, low-cost electric car soon coming to the US

4 weeks ago

Electric vehicles are everywhere these days, but few are as intriguing – or as polarizing – as the tiny urban EV soon headed to American roads. Fiat recently announced plans to bring its diminutive new model, the Topolino, to the US this year. At roughly the size of a golf cart and priced far below most traditional EVs, it is technically more of a quadricycle than a true ‘car’ and offers a radically different vision of personal mobility: ultra-compact, affordable, and perfectly tailored to short city commutes.

How a young bike racer helped shape America’s best-selling low-cost e-bike

1 month ago

When most people think about America’s best-selling budget electric bike, they probably picture affordability, practicality, and maybe a folding frame that fits in the trunk of a car. What they probably don’t picture is a former high-performance mountain bike racer hammering through the Arizona desert.

But that’s exactly part of the story behind Lectric eBikes and its wildly popular Lectric XP lineup.
