Ferrari’s first EV, the Luce, doesn’t just electrify—it redefines luxury from the inside out. Designed with Jony Ive’s creative touch, its interior fuses analog precision with futuristic elegance. This isn’t just a cabin—it’s Ferrari’s boldest statement in decades.

Charging shouldn’t slow you down. EcoFlow’s top EV chargers deliver sleek, high-speed power wherever you go. Because real freedom means never stopping to charge. One of them could replace your wall charger—for good.

The Trump administration just drew a line in the sand: no more federal funds for EV chargers with foreign parts. A full 100% Made-in-USA requirement is on the table. This shift could reshape the entire EV supply chain.

China is banning hidden EV door handles after a fatal crash exposed their risks. Tesla-style flush designs will be illegal by 2027, forcing a design rethink across the industry. When safety clashes with style, the future of EV design gets complicated.

Canada is exploring a bold shift: building EVs alongside Chinese automakers on its own soil. It's a surprising pivot from tariffs to potential teamwork. In a global market defined by competition, collaboration may become Canada’s smartest play.

Toyota just turned one of its most trusted SUVs into a full-fledged electric vehicle. The 2027 Highlander EV packs three rows, 320 miles of range, and U.S. assembly. In a slowing EV market, this might be Toyota’s most calculated move yet.
