Electric vehicles represent the automotive industry’s most transformative shift in a century. However, not all giants of yesteryears are coasting smoothly in this transition. The most recent exhibit: Volkswagen. While Europe’s behemoth automaker has witnessed growth in its electric vehicle deliveries, there seems to be a hiccup when it comes to new EV orders. In the span of just the first nine months of the current year, Volkswagen proudly dispatched 531,500 electric vehicles – a significant 45% leap from last year’s figure of 366,600.

GAC Aion, known for its Hyper SSR supercar and Hyper GT sports sedan, is adding another EV to its electric lineup. Enter the Hyper HT, a coupe crossover.

The LS6 is among the cheapest electric SUVs and yet it boasts tech often reserved for luxury electric vehicles. The first three versions feature single-motor rear-wheel drive. The crown jewel, the priciest of the lot, parades a dual-motor all-wheel drive. The single-motor versions boast peak powers ranging from 231 kW (310 hp) to 379 kW (508 hp). The dual-motor all-wheel drive? That’s a blistering combined power of 579 kW (nearly 777… More…

BYD officially announced its premium mid-size SUV, the Song L, back in August, but didn’t show the interior. It only shared pictures of the exterior and a couple of key specs. We know it will ship in two main configurations – one with a single electric motor capable of outputting 308 hp, and a dual-motor version with 510 hp. We now get to see the interior, which features a clean and simple design and closely resembles the initial sketches. There’s a big, centered LCD screen and a separate instrument cluster screen. It looks like not everything is going to be controlled via the main… More…
