On Wednesday, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, announced that at the end of the year, the state would no longer comply with California's electric vehicle (E.V.) mandate. "The idea that government should tell people what kind of car they can or can't purchase is fundamentally wrong," Youngkin said in a statement. "Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses. The law is clear, and I am proud to announce Virginians will no longer be forced to live under this out-of-touch policy." California first adopted its Advanced Clean...

For decades, the People's Republic of China has lavished domestic companies with public money to fulfill the long-term economic objectives established by the government. Among the current priorities is the development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), a sector that is fast expanding as nations transition towards climate neutrality. The European Union has historically enjoyed a strong position in the car-making industry, with member states like Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland ranked among the top 20 largest exporters in the world. In Germany, the automo...

Electric cars are a wonderful invention, reducing pollution and the demand for oil. They are also killers. The main problem is that they are so quiet. Blind people, animals and those trusting souls who walk through car parks while checking their mobile phones, all rely on the noise of an approaching car to warn them of its existence. Electric and hybrid vehicles, at low speeds, are virtually silent, or at least inaudible over normal levels of noise around them. People have been complaining about this since the 2000s, when those who follow these things noticed an increase in accidents involving...

In 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act included $7.5 billion to build 500,000 public charging stations for electric vehicles (E.V.s) across the country in an effort to boost a switch to the use of clean energy. As Reason reported in December, not one charger funded by the program had yet come online. Now, six months later, the number of functional charging stations has ticked up to eight. That news comes from an Autoweek article earlier this month. In March, The Washington Post reported that only seven were built; a charging station in Bradford, Vermont, opened in April, containin...

China has issued a new threat against the European Commission's anti-subsidy investigation into imported electric vehicles (EVs), which could result in additional tariffs to offset the suspected use of state aid. China-made EVs are sold across the bloc at considerably lower prices than their European competitors, a gap that Brussels links to the generous financial assistance injected by the Chinese government into domestic firms. The probe, announced in September last year, is nearing the completion of its first phase and provisional duties could be announced as soon as next month. The EU curr...

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are already ahead of the game compared with European car makers, with several brands such as Chery, BYD and Great Wall Motor (GWM) steadily gaining market share in Europe. Now, they may be ready to take things to the next level, with the three producers planning 20 model launches over the next five decade. The move is expected to less the hold European EV and traditional car makers have on the European market, as well as cut the share of other foreign EV giants' such as Tesla. Chinese EVs are much cheaper than European modelsThe super high cost of ne...

Over the years, VivaTech technology fair in Paris has established itself as an important event for car manufacturers looking to raise their profile on the European market. Tesla has chosen it this year to present its Cybertruck, recently launched in the United States but has not yet been authorised in France. The 5-metre-long behemoth had to make the journey to the show in an even larger truck.

Cazoo has appointed administrators after the former British tech unicorn crashed into insolvency, putting more than 200 jobs at risk. The online used car business, founded by former Zoopla boss Alex Chesterman, on Tuesday confirmed the appointment of administrators from Teneo, who will seek to sell off Cazoo's remaining market place business. The collapse marks an end for Cazoo, which was once a darling of the British tech sector and was valued at more than £6.3billion (€7.4 billion) after floating on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. The heavily loss-making business came under pressure fro...

A growing number of imported electric cars, many of them from China, are stuck at the ports of Europe as manufacturers and distributors struggle with a slowdown in sales. The ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge in Belgium are reportedly flooded with EVs from China, however, the port told Euronews that it is not only Chinese vehicles which are involved. But they did not disclose any other exporter countries contributing to the problem. However, Le Monde reported that at Calloo, near Antwerp, and Zeebrugge, the huge parking lots to accommodate 130,000 freshly shipped vehicles, are cramped now with Ch...
