Ferrari just hit pause on its second electric car—now it won't arrive until 2028. Why the delay? Demand is near zero, and EV performance still can't match that Ferrari thrill. Even rivals like Lamborghini and Maserati are pulling back. Maybe the electric future isn’t ready for Italian horsepower.

Waymo just unlocked over 250 square miles of new driverless service across California. From Sunset Boulevard to Silicon Valley, robotaxis are becoming routine. With 250,000 rides weekly, adoption is accelerating fast. What happens when the streets no longer need drivers at all?

Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz robotaxi is production-ready and up for grabs in 2025. It’s fully autonomous, packed with sensors, and requires zero development to launch. Uber’s already on board, and Tesla’s Cybercab isn’t due until 2027. What happens when autonomy becomes something you can actually order?

Lucid Air finally adds Android Auto—no cables required. Android users can now access maps, music, and messages right on the 34-inch Glass Cockpit. It’s a long-requested feature, now delivered. When luxury EVs adapt to your ecosystem, who really needs compromise?

Xiaomi claims its new solid-state battery can add nearly 500 miles of range in just 10 minutes. It’s designed to work on today’s production lines—a rare advantage. With 136,000 EVs already sold, Xiaomi isn’t just catching up. What happens when smartphone giants start leading the battery revolution?

The 2026 Nissan LEAF returns with a sleek new design, 303 miles of range, and access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. It’s smarter, faster, and finally feels competitive. Nearly 700,000 have sold—but the million mark now looks inevitable. What if the original EV pioneer becomes the comeback story of the decade?

A controversial $500 annual EV tax is off the table after public backlash forced the Senate to reconsider. Lawmakers now favor a one-time purchase fee instead of yearly penalties. Many EV drivers already pay steep registration costs, raising questions about fairness in road funding. As electric cars become mainstream, how we tax them will shape the future of mobility.

The all-electric Zeekr MIX is here—spacious, sleek, and surprisingly affordable at just $38,000. A new contender in the EV minivan game.
