Walmart is quietly building a nationwide EV charging network, and it might just shake up the industry. With chargers rolling out fast and rates set at $0.35/kWh, Tesla owners and other EV drivers could soon have a cheaper alternative to Superchargers. Some locations even offered free charging through the Walmart app, hinting at possible perks for loyal customers. Could Walmart’s aggressive expansion force Tesla and other networks to lower prices?
Ram just pulled the plug on its highly anticipated 500-mile battery for the 1500 Rev, leaving buyers with a max range of 350 miles. Was it cost, shifting EV policies, or something bigger? This move reshapes the electric truck landscape, putting Ram in a tough spot against Ford, Chevy, and Tesla. Is this the beginning of a trend—or a major misstep?
Lucid’s 2025 Gravity SUV just got a major upgrade—built-in Tesla Supercharger access. With a NACS port standard, it can now tap into the world’s most reliable fast-charging network, slashing charge times and making long trips easier than ever. Plus, with up to 450 miles of range and 400 kW charging speeds, the Gravity is shaping up to be a serious contender in the luxury EV space. Could this be the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S killer we’ve been waiting for?
Porsche’s first-ever electric 718 Cayman has finally been spotted testing, revealing sleek new design cues and performance-focused upgrades. Spy shots hint at a liftback-style rear hatch, active aero, and hidden lighting elements, all inspired by Porsche’s latest innovations. While the brand aims to deliver the same thrilling dynamics as its gas-powered predecessors, reports suggest challenges in fine-tuning the driving experience. Could this delay give rivals time to steal the spotlight?
EV owners are facing steep new fees as states scramble to replace lost gas tax revenue. In some cases, these flat fees cost more than what gas drivers pay, sparking debate over fairness. With a federal EV tax now on the table, the cost of going electric could rise even higher. Is this a necessary fix for road funding, or a hidden penalty for ditching gas?

Packed with emergency gear and V2L power capabilities, it’s designed to support mountain rescues in the toughest conditions. Could this be the future of EV-powered adventure and emergency response?
Audi is taking electric adventure to the next level with the Q6 E-Tron Off-Road Concept, a rugged EV built to conquer the trails. Featuring portal axles, increased ground clearance, and oversized tires, this concept transforms the sleek Q6 E-Tron into an off-road beast. With Audi teasing more adventurous EVs, could this be the start of a new era for luxury electric off-roaders? Is Audi gearing up to challenge Rivian and Jeep in the all-terrain EV game?
