BYD is already the world’s largest EV maker, but the company’s CEO is confident it will become the world’s leading global automaker within the next five years.

BYD is threatening to sue the US government after the Pentagon added the world’s largest EV maker to its list of “Chinese military companies” this week.

Stella Li, BYD’s executive vice-president, said the company will use every legal “weapon” at its disposal to fight the designation, which she called a false claim aimed at hobbling BYD because of its international success.

The perfect car for yuppies-in-training.

This heavy equipment operator put seven, 20-ton battery electric wheel loaders and dozers from Chinese equipment brand XCMG to work for combined 17,370 (!) hours last year, and realized an “astonishing” cost savings.

The Tezeus C8 is one of those e-bikes that hides several interesting, higher-end features/components behind an unassuming design, giving you more than you bargained for without attracting too much unwanted attention. And while it’s a pricier model than the usual budget suspects, the added features may be enough to warrant a deeper look.

Solar and storage made up a huge 91% of all new power capacity added to the US grid in Q1 2026, according to a new report from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.

Solar generated more US electricity than coal for the first month on record in May 2026, according to new analysis from global energy think tank Ember. Solar supplied 12.8% of US electricity during the month, while coal dropped to 12.2%.

General Motors has expanded its partnership with Redwood Materials to cover every stage of the battery lifecycle — manufacturing scrap recovery, end-of-life recycling, and now second-life energy storage deployed at a GM factory. It’s the first automaker to hit all three with JB Straubel’s company.

The latest piece is a 1.5 MW / 7.2 MWh energy storage system built from roughly 100 repurposed GM battery packs, set to be installed at a GM manufacturing plant in Michigan. Redwood says the system will save the plant more than $3 million in electricity costs over its lifetime.

The Toyota Highlander BEV and Lexus TZ will go on sale by the end of 2026, offering three rows of seating and 300 miles of range.

This new EV-charging solution is perhaps the one ring to rule them all—and make charging a whole lot more convenient.

A new prototype cell production lab will let GM develop cheaper cells faster, expanding its battery business to boost its future EVs and potentially lower their batteries' cost.

An issue in the power steering system's wiring could create a fire, leading the automaker to urge customers to park outside and away from structures.

Meta and Zelestra are expanding their fast-growing US solar partnership with yet another Texas project as the tech giant’s electricity demand continues to climb.

Mitsubishi already brought back the sports car's name on the Eclipse Cross SUV, and now it's doing it again with a new Nissan Leaf–based subcompact EV.

Ready to go in 5 minutes, BYD’s Flash Charging stations are just as quick as filling up at the gas station. After opening the first stations in Europe and the UK, BYD’s new EV chargers may be even cheaper than Tesla Superchargers.
