Younger buyers in China, who once viewed German brands as top-tier, now see them as 'brands for the parents,' indicating a significant shift in consumer perception.

The Denza Z can push out more than 1,000 horsepower with an all-electric motor, hitting 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds, rivaling the likes of the Rimac Nivera.

General Motors just made life a little easier for the owners of its electric cars. That's because over 5,000 Electrify America DC fast chargers in the United States have been integrated into the car company's own smartphone apps. In other words, Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac EV owners can use the native myChevrolet, myGMC or myCadillac app instead to find chargers, initiate charging and pay for the top-up.

On average, fuel prices are up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA. For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles.

General Motors is working to reduce the cost of its electric vehicles, beyond just using cheaper lithium-ion batteries, the automaker said Tuesday during its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 earnings call. The update comes just as the automaker booked over $7 billion in charges related to cutting down its EV ambitions last year, which includes things like contract cancellation fees and converting its Orion, Michigan, EV assembly plant for the production of full-size gas trucks and SUVs.

General Motors has one of the broadest electric-vehicle lineups in the United States, spanning everything from compact crossovers to full-size trucks. But the manufacturer is already preparing the next stage of its EV evolution, and some changes will even appear on the 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ. GM plans to roll out next-generation software with that model, which is also expected to be the first to feature lidar for more advanced autonomous driving capabilities and conversational AI.

During the automaker's Tuesday earnings call, CEO Mary Barra highlighted the rapid growth of GM's in-vehicle software and subscription business. In the past nine months, GM's software generated $2 billion, and customers have already signed up for about $5 billion in future subscriptions. The company said it now has 11 million subscribers for its OnStar safety system, up 34% from a year earlier. Another half a million customers are also paying for Super Cruise, its hands-free driver-assistance system.
