Mercedes just cranked up the allure of its electric G-Wagon with a $9,500 lease incentive—but the clock is ticking. With federal EV lease credits vanishing soon, the deal won’t last long. The catch? A monthly bill north of $2,200 for the legendary luxury SUV.

Lucid just unveiled the Gravity X, a rugged off-road concept that transforms its luxury SUV into an adventure-ready machine. From lifted suspension to etched maps of Big Sur and Death Valley, every detail signals bold intent. The debut at Pebble Beach positions Lucid against rivals chasing the off-road EV market.

Some EVs now hit 80% charge in less than 20 minutes, and one model does it in just five. From hypercars to family SUVs, charging speed is no longer a luxury feature. Tesla isn’t leading this race—brands like BYD, Porsche, and Kia are setting the pace.

BYD just added a surprising new product to its lineup: in-house tablets. Set to debut in the Tai 7 hybrid SUV, they promise advanced infotainment and seamless connectivity. It’s the latest move from a company that already builds nearly every part of its EVs, from batteries to electronics.

Bigger EV batteries aren’t just about range—they mean fewer charging stops and more flexibility. Owners from Bolt to Silverado drivers say the difference is clear: more capacity equals more freedom. For those without home charging, that freedom matters even more.

More drivers are asking a new question: should you learn in an EV or a gas-powered car? EVs offer smooth handling, advanced safety, and future-ready charging habits. Gas vehicles still provide valuable skills, especially for manual driving. As the driving landscape shifts, the choice of what you learn in may shape how confident and prepared you feel on tomorrow’s roads.

Experts say not all EVs are created equal—some stand out for value, performance, and long-term reliability. From Tesla’s Model 3 to Ford’s Lightning and Kia’s affordable lineup, these picks cover every lifestyle. Even luxury seekers will find the Lucid Air hard to ignore.

Mercedes just revealed a bold look at the future of luxury travel — a sleek electric van concept that blends high-end comfort with cutting-edge tech.
