Cadillac’s Escalade IQL: The Longest SUV Ever
Maserati Cancels Electric MC20 Folgore Due to Low Demand
Best EV Lease Deals Under $300 This March
and other updates
Cadillac’s Escalade IQL is now the longest SUV ever built, stretching beyond even its gas-powered counterparts. With more cargo space, extra legroom, and a massive 460-mile range, it redefines what an electric luxury SUV can be. A 10-minute fast charge adds 116 miles, making long trips effortless. Is this the future of oversized luxury, or just the next step in the EV arms race?
Maserati has pulled the plug on its MC20 Folgore electric supercar, citing weak demand. This decision raises doubts about its plans for an all-electric future. While other EV models remain on track, the luxury market’s shift to electric isn’t as smooth as expected. Is high-performance electrification losing its spark?
Leasing an EV has never been more affordable, with top models available for under $300 a month. From the Tesla Model 3 to the Hyundai IONIQ 5, automakers are rolling out incredible deals. Even luxury brands like Genesis and Acura are joining the price war. With federal EV incentives at risk, how long will these low prices last?
The Kia EV9 is more than just an electric SUV—it can now power your home for days. With the Wallbox Quasar 2, owners can use their vehicle as a backup power source or even send energy back to the grid. Pre-orders are open, but availability is limited to select states. As more automakers embrace bidirectional charging, are EVs becoming the ultimate home energy solution?
Volvo is gearing up to challenge the Tesla Model Y with its new EX60 electric SUV. Built on an 800V platform, it promises faster charging and greater efficiency. Positioned in the popular mid-size crossover segment, it could become Volvo’s best-selling EV. With more electric models on the way, is this the push Volvo needs to dominate the EV market?
Not everyone has a fast charger nearby, but EV owners are finding creative ways to stay on the road. Some rely on home charging, while others use campgrounds or apps to access Level 2 power. Even in remote areas, charging options are expanding. As EV adoption grows, will infrastructure keep up with demand?
While many automakers struggle with EVs, Hyundai has surged ahead. With fast charging, competitive pricing, and advanced technology, it’s winning over buyers. Unlike others, Hyundai committed early and built EVs from the ground up. As the industry shifts, will legacy brands be able to catch up?
