Tesla’s European arm announced today that it has completed all vehicle testing for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in the Netherlands — but the expected approval date has slipped yet again, from March 20 to April 10.
The announcement, which Tesla framed as progress, also reveals that a broader EU-wide approval is now not expected until the summer.
Elon Musk’s plan to build 100 GW of solar manufacturing capacity in the United States just got its first major price tag: $2.9 billion in equipment from Chinese suppliers, according to a Reuters exclusive.
If the deal closes, it marks the biggest concrete investment yet in Musk’s solar ambitions, and a stunning reversal for a company that effectively abandoned its solar business just two years ago.
There’s a growing push in the US to rethink what a “car” really needs to be, as more Americans than ever embrace alternatives from e-bikes to golf carts, among other car alternatives. Wink Motors is the latest company betting that smaller, slower, and cheaper might actually be the smarter answer for a lot of drivers.
But Wink has a different approach, focusing on those who want to retain the benefits of a traditional car without all the extra cost or hassle.

As of today, Jeep, Dodge and Stellantis EVs can plug in and charge on Tesla’s Supercharger network, the largest DC charging network in North America. Stellantis was the last brand set to gain access, so now just about every EV in America can use Superchargers, with the right adapters.
The luxury electric sedan is more affordable than expected. Lexus launched the 2026 ES EV with over 300 miles of range and prices starting under $50,000.
Buy the new Song Ultra EV in China, and BYD will give you 18 months of ultra-fast charging, for free. With gas prices soaring, electric vehicles are looking even more attractive.
SUPER73 is back with a major shake-up to its lineup. The Southern California-based electric bike brand has just unveiled its all-new A-Series, a collection of redesigned models that signal a shift toward more practical, commuter-friendly machines while still leaning into the company’s signature moto-inspired styling.
NHTSA has escalated its investigation into Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system’s inability to handle reduced visibility conditions, upgrading the probe to an Engineering Analysis covering an estimated 3,203,754 vehicles — the step that typically precedes a recall.
The agency found that FSD’s degradation detection system fails to warn drivers when cameras are blinded by common road conditions like sun glare and fog, and that Tesla may be under-reporting related crashes.

Xiaomi is officially launching the next-generation SU7 electric sedan today with a sweeping set of upgrades — up to 902 km of CLTC range, standard LiDAR across all trims, and an 897V charging architecture on the top model.
The updated sedan starts at 229,900 yuan (~$33,000), still undercutting the Tesla Model 3 in China by about 5,600 yuan (~$800) despite a price increase of 10,000-14,000 yuan over the outgoing model. Xiaomi racked up nearly 89,000 pre-orders in the first 24 hours when reservations opened in January.
The price of gas is rising almost as fast as the price of new cars, pushing more shoppers toward the cheapest low-mile used options on dealer lots: off-lease EVs. But while the deals look good, first-time EV buyers still have concerns. Here’s what used EV buyers need to know about batteries, warranties, and real-world ownership.
Iceland isn’t exactly known for doing things the easy way. Between volcanic terrain, unpredictable weather, and long stretches of rugged wilderness, it’s the kind of place that tends to shape products around necessity rather than excess.
And that philosophy is exactly what shows in Lauf Cycles’ newest launch: the company’s first-ever electric mountain bike, the eElja.
A growing number of states and federal lawmakers are pushing flat annual fees of $200 to $250 on electric vehicles, amounts that charge EV owners two to three times more than what the average gas car driver pays in federal fuel tax. The proposals are being framed as a way to fund road infrastructure, but the math doesn’t add up.
At a time when EVs represent roughly 10% of new car sales in the US and deliver billions in health, environmental, and energy security benefits, these blanket fees are a punitive approach that discourages adoption rather than fairly distributing road costs.
Solid-state batteries are called the “holy grail” of EV battery tech for a reason, right? The new battery tech is quickly moving from the lab to the real world, with some claiming to unlock over 800 miles of driving range.
