Ford is giving away free home chargers to anyone in the U.S. who buys or leases a new electric Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, or E-Transit. The offer, which includes the charger and standard installation, is part of Ford's new "Power Promise" program designed to make EV ownership easier. It looks like Ford is serious about getting more electric vehicles on the road!

Cruise has been hit with a $1.5 million fine by the NHTSA for failing to properly report an accident where one of its autonomous vehicles dragged a pedestrian. The incident in question involved a Cruise robotaxi dragging a pedestrian for approximately 20 feet before coming to a stop.

Bentley's CEO, Frank-Steffen Walliser, recently declared that the luxury car market is resisting the shift to electric vehicles. He claims wealthy buyers still crave the roar of a combustion engine and view electric cars as less desirable. This stance is surprising, as many other luxury automakers are embracing electrification.
