Electric

Recent coverage includes Hyundai preparing a range-extended Santa Fe for the American market, a British review of electric car sales rules requested by automakers, and Ireland where battery models now lead new car registrations. Several stories weigh cost and climate, such as whether trading a two-year-old gas SUV for an EV really lowers emissions. Design and hybrid news also appear, with upcoming Mercedes-Benz models and the return of the Moke in California.

If you are deciding between powertrains, the article comparing electric and gasoline ownership deserves a first read, and the emissions analysis adds useful nuance. Readers who follow the industry can scan the launch and policy stories to see which brands are betting on full electrification and which are hedging with hybrids.
