Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-24 22:51:59

To paraphrase Mean Girls, "stop trying to make hydrogen happen." For some years now, detractors of battery electric vehicles have held up hydrogen as a clean fuel panacea. That sometimes refers to hydrogen combustion engines, but more often, it's hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs. Both promise motoring with only water emitted from the vehicles' exhausts. It's just that hydrogen actually kinda sucks as a fuel, and automaker Stellantis announced today that it is ending the developmen

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-07-24 18:47:24

For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised that his EV company would finally manufacture an affordable car in the $25,000 range. For years, he has missed his own deadlines … until now? Step into a showroom run by EV Auto, an electric car dealership with three locations in the US states of Utah and Colorado, and you can choose from several Model 3s all hovering around the $20,000 mark. The catch? These cars have at least several thousand miles on them—because they’re used. Some global EV maker

Last Call for the $7,500 EV Tax Credit: It Expires in September

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-25 13:40:26

Car dealers are always advertising that now is the best time to buy, but if you're in the market for an electric vehicle, now might actually be the best time to buy. The reason: Congress voted to pull the plug early on a massive tax incentive that could save buyers up to $7,500 on new EVs. Instead of expiring in 2032, the tax break now ends Sept. 30 of this year. An EV you buy in October or later won't qualify. The move by congressional Republicans and signed by President Donald Trump was desi

GM, LG to upgrade Tennessee plant to make low-cost EV batteries

news.ycombinator.com Michele Luhn 2025-07-29 10:24:57

Ultium Cells, a joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, said Monday it's upgrading its facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee, to make low-cost electric vehicle battery cells. GM said the lithium iron phosphate battery cells — abbreviated LFP based on the elements' chemical symbols — could be significantly cheaper than battery packs used in some EVs, in part because they don't require expensive minerals like cobalt and nickel that are used in standard lithium-ion batteries.

Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 N offers more sound, more shifts, more smiles

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-29 14:39:46

Hyundai provided flights from Albany to London and accommodation so Ars could attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Ioniq 6 N reveal. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. Hyundai's N division is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025. That's not long enough to earn the cachet of other performance sub-brands, like BMW's M or Mercedes-Benz's AMG, but N has certainly developed a reputation for fun, attainable, and powder-blue cars.

This Is Why High-End Electric Cars Are Failing

It may well be able to wade through deep water, have crawl-assist mode for sketchy terrain, and even perform 360-degree swivel-on-the-spot tank turns, but sales of the seemingly much-anticipated electric Mercedes G-Class SUV have been poor. Actually, that’s an understatement. They’ve been woeful. And it’s not the only e-flop from a legacy automaker: Just last week Ferrari announced that it is delaying its second EV model (the first will arrive in October) until at least 2028 because of weak dem

Kia provided flights from Washington, DC, to Seoul and accommodation so Ars could drive the EV4. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. SEOUL, South Korea—Drive enough electric vehicles from enough different manufacturers and something becomes clear: the Korean automakers know what they're doing. From small cars like the Niro all the way to three-row SUVs, the EVs coming out of Kia (and its sibling Hyundai) are as efficient as anything out there, usually with a distinctive style. It's fair

The General Services Administration plans on shutting down federal EV charging infrastructure in the coming weeks and "offloading" EVs purchased by the previous administration, The Verge reports.
