It’s no secret here on CleanTechnica, I love smaller cars. I am not a fan of large vehicles. Unfortunately (for me), I’m in the minority on this topic, especially here in the United States. But we still get to see some great, fun, small electric cars. (The 2018 BMW i3 … [continued]
Waymo has expanded its robotaxi service across the United States quite significantly in 2026. It’s not yet covering a huge portion of the population, but it’s operating in more than a dozen major cities already. As it expanded further and further in the US, though, I started wondering how hard … [continued]
The Kia EV9 is one of the few three-row electric vehicles on the market. It’s quite large, and the interior and technology are very nice and high quality despite the vehicle being fairly affordable. However, apparently, it hasn’t been cheap enough — until some dealerships recently got aggressive with their … [continued]
BYD’s big focus at the moment seems to be finding ways to expand globally and grow its sales outside of China as fast as possible. The Chinese market is not the hottest, which is surely part of it, but it’s also clearly a prime time in the transition to electric … [continued]

Waymo has a kind of Japanese sounding name, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not Japanese of course, but the self-driving vehicle company under the Alphabet umbrella is planning its move into one of the places most obsessed with new, futuristic tech. For as long as I can remember, the Japanese have … [continued]
Part of me likes it and gets it, but part of me is super frustrated by what Volkswagen is doing here. The company has designed and unveiled the most efficient “near-production” electric car in the world. The “Most Efficiency,” as it is called, uses various design techniques and technologies in … [continued]
We all know that one of Donald Trump’s favorite things to do is complain about China and put tariffs — or threaten to put tariffs — on Chinese produced goods. Indeed, we’re all paying a lot more for products in the United States because of the vast, high tariffs Trump … [continued]
I’m not going to lie — I don’t typically jump or get riled up by claims that AI is going to take over the world or threaten humanity, beyond the insane energy use and emissions issue, that is. I first heard such warnings 23 years ago. Yes, 23 years ago. … [continued]
