Ford Motors revealed its new in-car driver connectivity system the MyFord Touch at CES today. The MyFord Touch is blending strengths of the most proven interfaces in consumer electronics – including MP3 players and mobile phones – with a new generation of Ford’s award-winning SYNC system. MyFord, which will be branded as MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch on respective Lincoln and Mercury brand products, presents a redesigned user interface with touch-sensitive buttons, thumb wheel controls and voice recognition. The MyFord Touch displays information using two 4.2-inch full-color LCD screens flanking an analog speedometer and an 8-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the center stack. Check out these sleek shots of Ford’s new MyFord Touch system.

Ford finally pulls off the sub-$30K electric truck it promised years ago

Ford officially names its affordable electric pickup the Fathom, pricing it at $29,945 with a 300-mile range.

Ford's been teasing a genuinely affordable electric truck for what feels like forever, and after the initial few months, I stopped waiting for it, much less the less-than-$30,000 anticipated price. Turns out Ford didn't just hit that target; it beat it.

What's even more interesting is that the truck finally has an official name to go with the price.

EVgo is bringing Tesla V4 Superchargers to its US charging network

EVgo and Tesla team up to bring 500kW charging to US cities.

Finding a fast charger for your electric vehicle could soon get a little easier. EVgo announced it will start installing hundreds of Tesla V4 Superchargers across major US cities, built under a license through Tesla's Supercharger for Business program.

This makes EVgo one of the first US networks to build Tesla's own charger design onto its stations, following a broader expansion that began with a $1.25 billion federal loan to add 7,500 new charging stalls nationwide.

Europe is reaping the benefits of an open market with a terrific $22K EV, while the US market stays boring

The new Geely E2 undercuts many rivals while highlighting China's affordable EV momentum.

This is not the first time I’ve watched European or Chinese car shoppers, for that matter, get a chance to buy genuinely affordable EVs. Meanwhile, American buyers keep hearing and talking about higher starting prices and fewer features on the entry-level trim.

Geely’s new compact electric hatchback costs 19,490 EUR in Belgium, or roughly $22,490, and is yet another example of the same. While the entry price is only available for a limited time, I'm talking about the overall package the automaker is offering.
