Good old Subaru. We don’t hear much from the company, and rightfully so. It doesn’t have much clean news to report beyond a 2004 net-zero landfill factory in North Carolina and the introduction of its hybrid CrossTech in 2013 — if you count that.
Hang onto your hats, we may be entering the era of the electric SUV. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, BMW X5 xDrive40e, and of course Tesla Model X have been around for a while, but we now have the Kia Niro EV, Tesla Model Y, Jaguar I-PACE, Audi E-Tron Quattro, VW ID Crozz, Nio ES8, Weltmeister EX5, Nissan iMx, Byton’s first entry into the market, and others on the way. The latest to join the club? Aston Martin. As Jo Borras writes, Aston Martin is planning to revive the legendary Lagonda brand. The electric SUV concept it is … slick.
Alejandro Agag will introduce the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY this Saturday, May 19, on the Berlin Tempelhof Circuit for the start of the 2018/19 season of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Get ready for another season of electric racing!
We’re glad to see we’re not the only ones impressed with the amazing Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV). We reported in January that it had just passed 100,000 sales in Europe. Now we get news that it is still the top best-selling plug-in vehicle in the UK, and there is a reason of 10 for that.

Uber continues to invite and gather electric aircraft leaders in order to advance, explore, and promote electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi pods — or something like that. This sounds exciting, but will such ideas survive the company’s negative public image?
Hot on the latest Uber Elevate summit this month in Los Angeles, Pipistrel planned the unveiling of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft concept to the public.
California can stand up against whatever flavor of the year Washington, D.C., tries to impose on the rest on the country. As the world’s 5th largest economy, it continues to push for renewable energy and electric vehicles despite an unruly political landscape that has slowed down cleaning up our pollution. Once more, California has forged ahead, with the latest news being that it is requiring most new homes to be solar energy ready.
These are times when you wish you could gather children over a bonfire to tell the story of how slime saved the day!
While PlugShare works well for most electric vehicle (EV) drivers, building ever more precise and accurate databases is key to an even better adoption of those cars. A new Californian database tries to establish just that.
General Motors is not the only carmaker suffering from manufacturing inefficiency and significant contributions to runaway pollution. But it is reported to have a plan that tackles both.
