Tesla just added $600 million to its earnings—without selling more cars. A new accounting rule now lets companies count Bitcoin’s full market value, turning Tesla’s crypto stash into a financial windfall. With Bitcoin soaring past $105K, this shift could redefine how corporations handle digital assets. Is Tesla quietly building a new financial advantage?

Volkswagen just pulled the plug on the ID.7’s U.S. launch, blaming a tough EV market and high European demand. With only two electric models left in its U.S. lineup, VW's EV future looks uncertain. As competition heats up, will they bring something new—or start falling behind?

Polestar just took its EVs to the extreme with Arctic Circle rally editions built for snow and ice. Featuring raised suspensions, studded tires, and rally-grade dampers, these electric beasts are ready for winter’s worst. Set to debut at the 2025 F.A.T. Ice Race, they hint at a growing demand for off-road-ready EVs. Is the future of performance electric and unstoppable in any terrain?

EV charging in the U.S. is undergoing a massive transformation. Tesla’s Superchargers are opening to more brands, federal funding is fueling new infrastructure, and the industry is shifting toward a unified standard. Yet, charging reliability and accessibility remain major hurdles. With billions being invested, will EV charging finally become as seamless as filling up a gas tank?

Volvo is now in full control of NOVO Energy, its key battery production venture. This move strengthens its grip on EV battery development, but it also raises questions about production timelines and supply chain challenges. With EV demand rising, Volvo’s success hinges on scaling battery production efficiently. Will this bold decision give Volvo the edge it needs in the electric future?

Every EV brand has its own app, often with subscriptions, limitations, or discontinued support. Drivers want a single app to control charging, climate, and locks—but technical and security barriers stand in the way. Some turn to OBD hacks or smart home integrations, but these solutions aren’t perfect. Will automakers ever embrace a universal remote for EVs or keep their systems locked down?

Installing a Level 2 home charger sounds simple, but with J1772 vs. NACS, future compatibility, and rebates, the choice gets tricky. Tesla owners can use adapters, but most automakers are now adopting NACS as the new standard. Should you go with a J1772 charger for flexibility or future-proof with NACS? The right decision now could save you hassle—and money—down the road.
