President Donald Trump has long fought California's efforts to curb tailpipe emissions and spur electric vehicle adoption, and last summer he blocked the state's first-in-the-nation ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. He's also routinely criticized California's highest-in-the-nation gas prices, which are largely due to taxes and environmental regulations.

The Ford F-Series, encompassing models like the F-150, F-250, F-350, and F-450, claimed the title of best-selling vehicle in 29 states. This dominance underscores the pickup truck's unbreakable appeal across much of the country, particularly in rural, Midwestern, Southern, and Western states where towing capacity, durability, and utility for work or recreation remain top priorities.

Vintage cars, especially pickups and SUVs, are usually made from two parts: a standalone chassis and a body that bolts on top of the chassis. So why not swap the original underpinnings with something more modern, while retaining the classic look of the original bodywork? That's exactly what the United Kingdom's Electric Classic Cars thought of doing, and it might just supercharge the EV conversion world.

2025-model used cars sold in the fourth quarter of last year went for $6,370 less than their average new car transaction price.

Construction work at the Regionalbuszentrum Schaffhausen is scheduled to begin on 2 March 2026, as VBSH details on its website.

In parallel, additional overnight charging stations will be installed at the Ebnatring depot hall, with commissioning aligned to the RBZ timeline.

The Tesla Model Y has been named 2026 Drive Car of the Year overall winner, taking the top honor after being judged as the vehicle that "moves the game forward the most for Australian new car buyers." The Model Y is already Australia's best-selling EV in 2025 and the tenth best-selling vehicle overall, but the vehicle's Juniper update strengthened its case with new ownership benefits and expanded software capability.

Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2, the White House has said, in what will be the first official visit to Beijing by a United States president since Trump's last trip there in 2017. The dates, confirmed by a White House official on Friday, come as Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have respectively described excellent and good communication between the two countries in recent months.
