Maserati is offering huge discounts for its electric cars. The Grecale Folgore electric SUV's rebate could buy you a well-maintained used Tesla Model 3. However, the electric GranTurismo and GranCabrio's discount is enough for a brand-new Model Y Premium All-Wheel Drive. Maserati isn't doing great, folks. Its global sales haven't stopped falling this year, with the Italian brand recording a 32% drop in sales in the first half, followed by another 19% decrease in the third quarter.

Do you know where all the parts on your car come from, and how they got there? And no, I don't mean "from" as in "America" or "Germany" or "South Korea." I mean, who made those parts, out of what, and how much energy did it really take to put that part onto your shiny new car? I certainly don't know that.

"We had set the goal that all new passenger cars would be electric by 2025, and with a share of 95 percent electric vehicles this year, one can say that the goal is practically achieved," Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement. "That is why the time has come to phase out the incentives," he added. The government argues that zero-emission cars will remain comparatively financially attractive as it also plans to increase a one-time tax on purchases of fossil-fuel vehicles.

One of the concepts that Toyota plans to unveil at the Japan Mobility Show this year is a futuristic (and likely fully electric) interpretation of a Corolla sedan. The car seems to advance the design language that we've already seen on Toyota's production models, but it's more angular and futuristic. It's definitely a Corolla because it says so on the back. Had it not had Corolla' lettering on its trunklid, you wouldn't know what it's meant to be because it looks nothing like today's model.

The Model S is among the most crucial developments in the automotive industry in the last century. Just as the Ford Model T made its mark on passenger transportation, becoming the first combustion engine vehicle to be successfully developed and marketed at a time when horse and buggy were the preferred mode of transportation, the Model S revolutionized things a step further.

General Motors has heavily upgraded the Bolt, with more range and faster charging speeds. It won't be on sale for an extended time period, the automaker said in a media briefing on Thursday. Recently, GM announced that Bolt production in Kansas will only be on one production line instead of two. General Motors revealed the 2027 Chevy Bolt on Wednesday, which is now America's most affordable electric vehicle with a starting price of under $30,000 when it goes on sale in January 2026.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken a significant leap toward autonomous and sustainable transportation with the launch of the nation's first commercial fleet of self-driving electric trucks. The milestone, realised through a partnership between Evocargo, a developer of autonomous logistics solutions, and RAK Ceramics, one of the world's leading manufacturers of ceramics and sanitaryware, signals how automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainability are converging to reshape the region's logistics sector.

The federally mandated Clean Pass program expired on Wednesday, which means the more than 55,000 metro area motorists will no longer be allowed into the high-occupancy lanes during rush hour. "This sucks," Central Islip commuter and healthcare worker Beverly Gandarillas told The Post. "It's going to have a domino effect. I'm going to have to wake up earlier to leave earlier just to get to work on time, and forget it if there's an accident."

The Chinese smartphone giant has somewhat recently turned into an electric car maker, bringing an almost Apple-like quality and level of tech domination to China's already advanced car market. Oversaturation? Xiaomi doesn't know the meaning of the term, especially when you look at how many units the maker has managed to shift in a very crowded market. Now, Xiaomi is turning its attention to Europe.

Hyundai slashed prices for the 2026 Ioniq 5 by up to $9,800 on Wednesday. The cuts make the Ioniq 5 perhaps America's best EV deal. The Ioniq 5 now undercuts the Tesla Model Y by a long shot, while offering better value and specs than other competitors. If you're anything like me, you're kicking yourself for missing out on the $7,500 federal clean-car tax credit, which expired prematurely on Tuesday.

Back near the end of 2021, COVID-related panic was subsiding and the vibe around new EV startups was still very much optimistic. Almost every other week, a new brand was vying to be the next Tesla, as if that company's sky-high stock price could be anyone's for the taking. VinFast, like other small car brands with larger-than-life plans, wanted a piece of that pie and quickly pivoted its plan from gas-powered BMW-based sedans and SUVs to self-developed EVs meant to take the world by storm.

Cadillac's EV sales exploded in Q3. Nearly 40%or two in fivenew cars it sold were electric. The brand's total EV sales are up 88% year-to-date. Cadillac's electric vehicle lineup just had an amazing quarter. Fueled by tax-credit FOMO, GM's luxury arm managed to send off two out of five new car buyers in one of its electric models, making it the brand's best-ever quarter for EVs on record. For the past three months, buyers marched into dealerships in droves to take advantage of the now-expired $7,500 federal incentive. The top brass at General Motors had its lineup at the ready with the Optiq, Vistiq, and Escalade IQ EV piling on thousands of extra EV sales.

It's the first of October, which means the electric-vehicle tax credit is officially dead, having passed away in the wee hours of the morning. Speaking of morning, we, and more than a few auto companies, are mourning its death. It's no secret that the EV tax credit was a boon to the industry. That $7,500 credit helped a lot of buyers afford EVs, whether it was via a purchase incentive done right at the point of sale or placed into a lease.

Americans will pay more at the pump if Donald Trump succeeds in tossing out tailpipe pollution regulations, a new analysis shows. That's on top of job and GDP losses that could result from stifling innovation in cleaner transportation. The Trump administration wants to do away with the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, policies that have encouraged carmakers to manufacture more fuel-efficient cars and electric vehicles over time.
