That means a single-motor, rear-wheel drive Polestar 3 can be had for a little under $50,000, before other fees. The offer is available to qualified customers who finance the car with Polestar.

GM may have decided to pull the plug on the forward-looking Chevy Brightdrop electric van a few months ago, but don’t let that stop you, but don’t let that fool you. Right now might be the best time ever to get your hands on one. SKIP THE STORY: jump right to the deals (trusted affiliate link).

It’s cliché to talk about the surprising speed at which Hyundai products have improved over the last two decades. What’s more impressive, to me, is just how good these vehicles look. The Hyundai design team, as well as the crew at Genesis, is turning out some of the sharpest vehicles on the road. Hyundai worked hard to refine the styling of its standard road cars. The automaker instilled proper familial design language across the lineup—from signature lighting elements to smart fender work. From there, however, the evolution of Hyundai’s EVs, N products, and the XRT vehicles enables greater creativity and…

But its reign may finally end soon, replaced at last by a new electrified option, the “Next Generation Delivery Vehicle” (NGDV). With The Drive confirming that…

There’s been a lot of handwringing about the future energy demands of electric vehicles and AI data centers. But if Tesla’s latest charging station is any proof, almost anything is possible with enough solar panels and stationary batteries. On Tuesday, Tesla announced that all Superchargers are now open for business at its largest charging station ever. The 164-stall location in Lost Hills, California, is powered by 11 megawatts of solar panels, which double as a canopy that shades the parking spots.
