Despite missing earnings estimates in Q4 2025, Lucid Group (LCID) is calling for more growth in 2026. Lucid aims to produce 25,000 to 27,000 EVs in 2026, a 40% to 50% increase from last year.
Tuesday’s list of deals is on the more affordable side of things with an Amazon Lightning deal striking BLUETTI’s 6-outlet 300W power station down to $129. If that’s not powerful enough, you can still find Segway’s Cube 2000 for $539. And with spring around the corner, now is a good time to start thinking about e-bikes and e-scooters with some discounted GoTrax and Navee models at the bottom of this post.

For years now, riders have been asking the same question: When is Honda finally going to give us a true-to-form electric Super Cub?
The gasoline-powered Honda Super Cub isn’t simply another small bike in the long history of mopeds and light motorcycles. It’s the best-selling motor vehicle in history, with more than 100 million units produced since its 1958 debut. The Cub helped motorize post-war Japan, democratized two-wheeled transport across Southeast Asia, and even carved out a cult following in the US with its step-through frame and famously approachable design. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Super Cub is one of the most important vehicles ever built.
Tesla has updated its “Find Us” map with 64 new Megacharger locations across 15 states, giving the clearest picture yet of the charging network it is building to support the Tesla Semi.
Combined with 2 sites already operational, the map now shows 66 total locations covering major freight corridors from the West Coast to the East Coast.
Waymo has started driverless robotaxi operation in 4 more US cities today: Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando. This brings the running total to 10 cities, while Waymo’s highest-profile competitor in the space, Tesla, currently operates driverless robotaxis in zero cities, despite big claims to the contrary.
Chinese battery manufacturers already account for well over 50% of the global market, but new battery types, including solid-state, are rolling out, promising to be safer, more efficient, and safer.
New data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) confirms that Tesla registered just 8,075 vehicles across the EU, EFTA, and UK in January 2026, a 17% decline from the same month last year.
The drop is particularly damaging because January 2025 was already a weak month for Tesla, during the production transition to the refreshed Model Y. The broader battery-electric vehicle market, meanwhile, grew 13.9%, making Tesla’s collapse increasingly difficult to explain away as a timing issue.
Rivian is partnering with EnergyHub to make it easier for its drivers across North America to join utility‑run EV charging programs that reward customers for charging at grid‑friendly times.
Family cargo biking just got a big upgrade. Xtracycle, one of the original pioneers of longtail cargo bikes in North America, has announced the launch of the new Swoop ASM (Automatic Smile Machine), a fully redesigned family cargo e-bike that aims to remove many of the friction points that keep families from making the leap out of a car and onto two wheels. And with room for four people on a single bike, this is one that could truly replace the family car for school drop offs, sports practice, or just about any other family-oriented trip.
California lawmakers are once again turning their attention to electric two-wheelers, but this time the approach looks more targeted – and notably, it’s drawing broader support from major bike advocacy groups.
Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Motor Vehicles seeking to reverse the administrative ruling that found the automaker engaged in false advertising with its “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” marketing.
The move comes just days after Tesla complied with the DMV’s demands to clean up its marketing language — raising the question of why the company is fighting a ruling it already capitulated to.
A new report finds Texas is set to overtake California in battery storage as US installs hit a record 57.6 GWh in 2025, up 30% year-over-year.
Volvo is recalling more than 40,000 EX30 electric SUVs due to a potential fire risk. The company is urging owners to park outside and limit charging to 70% until the issue is fixed.
China is living in the future when it comes to EV charging. Instead of drivers hunting for an open charging spot in a parking garage, overhead rail-mounted charging robots now travel along ceiling tracks and come to the car. The concept, already deployed in garages across multiple Chinese cities, turns every parking space into a potential charging spot without the cost of installing individual chargers at each one.
Tampa is bringing back one of the most generous e-bike incentive programs in the country, and for some residents, it could mean up to $3,000 off the cost of a new electric bike.
An Electrek reader spotted one of Slate Auto’s all-electric pickup trucks testing out in the snowy banks of Michigan and shared a couple of images you can see below.
