Cadillac is revving up its electric future with the upcoming Optiq-V—an all-electric SUV designed for driving enthusiasts. Sharper steering, tighter suspension, and bold design set it apart from the crowd. Building on the success of the Lyriq-V, this performance-focused EV blends luxury with excitement. As more high-performance EVs hit the streets, how far will traditional driving thrills evolve in an all-electric world?

Two electric giants are redefining the road—but not in the same way. Tesla pushes high-tech autonomy and fast-charging dominance, while BYD builds for mass adoption with affordability and scale. Their rivalry now spans continents, price points, and charging networks. As EV adoption accelerates, which strategy will shape the future of global mobility?

Once Americans switch to electric, they rarely look back. New research shows EV owners are more loyal than ever, even as national interest remains uneven. Age, geography, and access to charging still shape the EV divide. What will it take to turn early adopters into a mainstream majority?

Thinking of going electric but worried about the price? You might be surprised at how budget-friendly EVs have become. From familiar names like Nissan and Hyundai to luxury surprises like Lexus, 2025’s most affordable electric cars pack serious value. As more models hit the streets, affordability may become EVs’ biggest selling point—making gas-powered cars feel outdated faster than expected.

Mercedes is giving the luxury van a glamorous makeover. The Vision V concept turns heads with its minimalist design, first-class cabin, and a 65-inch screen straight out of sci-fi. It promises over 300 miles of electric range and an interior that feels more like a private theater than a vehicle. If the production model stays this bold, it might just reshape what we expect from family travel.

New York is supercharging its EV future with millions in new grants for local charging infrastructure. While rural gaps remain, momentum is building across cities and towns alike. Drivers are discovering both the benefits and growing pains of going electric. The question now isn’t if New York will go electric—it’s how fast it can get there.

Used electric cars are suddenly a hot commodity—and not just because they’re cheaper. With prices dropping over 40% in just three years, more buyers are turning to pre-owned EVs than ever before. Surprising shifts—like pickup trucks topping sales charts and Oregon outpacing California in EV adoption—signal a market in transformation. As more Americans embrace electrified driving, one question remains: are gas cars on borrowed time?
