Most Tesla drivers don’t realize how limited their charging options really are — until they upgrade. Lectron’s latest lineup unlocks ultra-fast CCS access, powerful home charging, and total flexibility on the road. The difference isn’t just convenience — it’s control. Are you still charging the old way?
Jaguar’s upcoming EV flagship isn’t just bold—it completely rewrites the EV blueprint with a split battery layout, tri-motor powertrain, and no rear window. It’s sleek, strange, and brutally fast. Luxury design has never looked this radical—or this calculated.
Tesla just added a new AWD Model Y for the U.S., offering quick acceleration and a lower price—but without the usual premium perks. It quietly replaces the “Standard” trim with something leaner and more strategic.
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.
Kia’s electric PV5 van was spotted again on U.S. roads—but this time, it’s wearing U.S.-spec features. There’s still no official announcement, but the clues are stacking up. Quiet moves like this rarely stay quiet for long.
Avatr’s new electric wagon isn’t just sleek—it debuts Huawei’s most advanced self-driving tech yet. With long-range LiDAR and a bold design, it’s a quiet threat to premium EV players.
Waymo just raised $16 billion to supercharge its robotaxi expansion across the U.S. and beyond. With millions of rides already logged, it’s moving from proof-of-concept to mass adoption. When safety, scale, and funding align—transportation doesn’t stay the same.
