Electric Car

Korean automaker Hyundai has confirmed it’s in talks with Apple about the possibility of partnering on an electric vehicle.

Nissan and EVgo have announced that they are providing new Nissan Leaf owners and lessees access to EVgo's U.S. charging network through a new program, called Nissan Energy Perks by EVgo. Nissan is hoping that the new program will encourage more U.S.-based drivers to switch over to an electric vehicle.

As electric cars become increasingly popular, a fierce debate rages on the internet with trolls talking trash about electric vehicles and their sudden surge in popularity. But today, right here and now, I am going to give you scientific and empirical evidence why EVs should and will take over. 

Two years after it first announced the project, Dyson this week said it had decided to end the development of its electric car because it couldn't make it commercially viable. It added that it will continue work on tech related to the project, and try to offer new positions to the engineers who worked on the car.

An equal amount of facts and assumptions gravitate around the enigmatic fire. What we know is that a hauler being towed across Nevada caught fire, and the six cars on it -- five Tesla EVs and one Subaru -- were a total loss. Tesla quickly blamed the fire on the trailer, but the cause isn't known yet.

We head to Monterey Car Week in Jaguar’s new 550hp F-Pace SVR and also spend some time with the luxury automaker’s all-electric crossover, the I-Pace, while we’re in town. One model showcases the best of what Jaguar’s current lineup has to offer, the other hints at the potential for a quieter, more efficient, and perhaps less interesting future.

Tesla has started designing its long-promised pickup truck. The yet-unnamed model will come with dual-motor all-wheel drive and lots of torque, plus it will be able to park itself. It will be about as big as Ford's F-150, though a sketch suggests Tesla will later build a much bigger pickup based on its semi.

While there are more electric cars on the road than ever before, they’re very much still a novelty. But as you may have noticed, EVs look different than traditional cars. What’s changing and why? With the help of some automotive experts, we’ve laid out several ways vehicle design is going to change.

Nissan developed the electric Leaf with range and practicality in mind, but the hatchback could lend its hardware to a high-performance flagship. One of Nissan's chief executives announced that a four-motor, 850-horsepower model could arrive during the 2020s. It will eclipse the GT-R as the company's quickest car.

Volkswagen is preparing to release the 2020 ID.3, an electric, Golf-sized model developed for Europe. It sheds insight into the brand's future EVs, including ones built and sold in the United States. Digital Trends spoke to Volkswagen board member Jurgen Stackmann and learned what it means for the future of VW.

Citroen's Ami One concept car is an electric vehicle that's as cute as it is compact. The miniature motor only has a top speed of 28 mph, so the French automaker imagines it as a shareable runaround for short drives. The Ami One will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland in March 2019.

Car manufacturers are always working on new concepts, but you probably have never seen one quite like this. Audi went to the drawing board and mocked up a futuristic car that you might never be able to buy but you'll definitely be able to see. The car will star in the animated film 'Spies in Disguise.'

Digital Trends traveled to the Namibian desert to get an early taste of the all-electric 2019 Audi e-tron. We drove prototypes on a variety of terrains, including dunes and a salt pan, to put the 400-horsepower, battery-powered drivetrain to the test. We think it's poised to make a splash in the electric car world.

Sir James Dyson is spending billions of dollars on developing an electric car that he says will be “radically different” to current designs. While he’s revealed few details, he has chosen to show off plans for a large test site with multiple tracks designed to put his electric vehicle through its paces.

Croatian startup Rimac introduced a 2,000-horsepower electric car at the Geneva auto show. The Concept Two caught the attention of Porsche, and the firm has purchased a 10 percent stake in Rimac. Insiders suggest the deal is a way to share high-performance electric car components between the two companies.

Volkswagen -- a name that literally means people's car -- wants to bring electric cars to the masses. The brand is designing a modular platform named MEB to underpin a wide variety of electric cars, ranging from a Golf-sized hatchback to an A8-like sedan. The platform will be ready for autonomous driving.

Audi and Porsche will now be teaming up for what's being called "the shared vehicle architecture of the future."

BMW's electric car whiz talks about why motorists love electrified models, the future of solid-state batteries, hydrogen, and 800-volt charging.

We took a behind-the-scenes look at the new VW electric car platform. VW is planning a whole series of vehicles based on this technology. It starts with a crossover SUV.

UPS announced a partnership with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to convert vehicles from diesel to electric.

An electric car is electrified, but an electrified car isn't electric. Confused? Let us explain the difference between the two.

Dyson has announced it's building an electric car. Sir James Dyson is promising a "radically different" design for launch in 2020.
