The move supports a new generation of lower-cost EVs and a bold plan to take on global rivals. Even amid political uncertainty, Ford’s vision remains focused and forward-looking.

Costco has quietly entered the EV fast-charging game—and it’s not your average rollout. With help from ex-SpaceX engineers, six chargers were installed in just 54 days using grid-light, battery-backed tech. The result? Lightning-fast installs, smart features, and a win-win for both EV drivers and shoppers.

Electric vehicles are getting sleeker, smarter—and finally, more affordable. The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV stands out with a sub-$35K price and up to 319 miles of range. It skips flashy extras in favor of real-world practicality, right where Americans shop most: compact SUVs.

Jeep is revamping the Cherokee with bold new styling and a possible electric twist for 2026. Built on the same platform as the Wagoneer S, it’s EV-ready—even if not confirmed yet.
