General Motors Co (GM.N) said on Friday it would take a hit of $1 billion to expand the recall of its Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles due to the risk of fires from the high-voltage battery pack - a blow for the largest U.S. automaker as it seeks to ramp up EV sales.

If we’re approaching the golden age of the electric vehicle, it’ll be the second time.

Each morning at a transit facility in Canton, Ohio, more than a dozen buses pull up to a fueling station before fanning out to their routes in this city south of Cleveland. The buses — made by El Dorado National and owned by the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority — look like any others. Yet collectively, they reflect the cutting edge of a technology that could play a key role in producing cleaner inter-city transportation.

Porsche just announced a recall for its first full-electric vehicle, the Taycan, to fix a software issue that has been proven to cause a sudden loss of power. The recall is worldwide and spans nearly all of the 43,000 Taycans sold globally.

Tesla has once again topped its delivery record, and this time it reached a symbolic milestone. As CNBC notes, the EV maker delivered an all-time high of 201,250 vehicles in the second quarter of 2021 — the first time it has ever shipped more than 200,000 cars to customers in a given quarter.

The Lucid Air has been in the works for a very long time, nearly a decade by some accounts. The first time I rode in the 1,000-horsepower electric sedan was in Las Vegas in 2017, when Lucid Motors had an engineering prototype on hand at the Consumer Electronics Show. I rode in the Air again just this past Monday, in a near-final version of the massive, roomy vehicle. Suffice to say, it was better the second time around.

Australia’s top economists overwhelmingly back government measures to speed the transition to electric cars in order to meet emission reduction targets. An exclusive poll of 62 of Australia’s preeminent economists – selected by their peers – finds 51 back measures to boost the takeup of electric cars including subsidising public charging stations, subsidising the purchase of all-electric vehicles, and setting a date to ban the import of traditionally powered cars.

When President Joe Biden took Ford’s electric F-150 Lightning pickup for a test drive in Dearborn, Michigan, in May 2021, the event was more than a White House photo op. It marked a new phase in an accelerating shift from gas-powered cars and trucks to electric vehicles, or EVs.

Tesla has been ordered to pay 136,000 kroner ($16,000) each to thousands of customers in Norway for slowing down charging speeds, according to Nettavisen via Electrek.

Ford Motor Co. plans to undercut several rival producers of electric pickup trucks when its battery-powered F-150 goes on sale next year. The company revealed prices for its newest truck—the first fully electric version of its top-selling and most-profitable vehicle—during an event Wednesday evening at its Dearborn, Mich., headquarters.

The power of a pickup truck is not all about torque, horsepower, towing and hauling. Ford’s newest electric F-150 Lightning, which was unveiled Wednesday, is trying to change the meaning of truck power with a system that can provide energy to a customer’s home in the event of an outage.

Some big names have temporarily stopped or cut back on production because of a worldwide semiconductor shortage, including the Ford F-150, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Mercedes-Benz C-class.

Here we are again with another round of Apple Car rumors, folks. According to a report from the Korea Times on Tuesday, the tech giant is close to signing a partnership with South Korea's LG and Canadian manufacturing giant Magna International. The three would work to bring the long-rumored Apple Car to production.

With shares up more than 50% so far this year, Volkswagen has been showing its teeth in the red-hot automobile industry race to produce electric vehicles. And by next year, the German auto maker’s battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sales could outpace that of industry giant Tesla TSLA, -3.39%, said Deutsche Bank analysts, who lifted their price target on buy-rated Volkswagen VOW, +0.43% to €270 from €185 per share in a note to clients on Monday.

A new fabrication technique could allow solid-state automotive lithium-ion batteries to adopt nonflammable ceramic electrolytes using the same production processes as in batteries made with conventional liquid electrolytes.

We need an aggressive build-out of a nationwide charging infrastructure that is so pervasive that any EV owner — no matter where they live and no matter their driving routes and patterns — will be able to conveniently charge up.

Volkswagen is accelerating its plans for all-electric vehicles in a bid to become “the world’s most desirable brand for sustainable mobility,” a title arguably already owned by Tesla. The German automaker Friday morning said more than 70% of its Volkswagen brand’s European sales will be EVs by 2030, up from a previous target of 35%. In the U.S. and China, it expects half of its sales to be EVs by that time frame.
