Together, we developed a high-voltage battery system that unlocks the full potential of the new cylindrical cells in record time, delivering significant improvements in energy, range, and charging performance.

Lucid delivered a remarkably small number of vehicles in Q1, at 3,903. It produced 5,500. The company blamed much of this on a supplier's lack of inventory, which cost it 29 days of disruption.

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.

Completed packs will then go into test vehicles. Solid-state batteries, which are widely considered to be the holy grail in the energy storage game, are nearing reality with every passing day. Now, Geely, Volvo's parent company, is accelerating the development of its solid-state cells, with the first completed packs expected to be fitted into working vehicles this year, as reported by China's 21 Finance.

Honda has slashed the price of the 2026 Prologue by $7,500 across the board, essentially replacing the lost tax incentive and making the crossover a much better deal among its peers.

Battery degradation is inevitable. But as technology advances and carmakers come up with better ways to improve battery life, it's slowly becoming a non-issue. That's what the statistics say, and that's what I discovered after doing a battery capacity test on my own 2023 Volvo V90 plug-in hybrid wagon, which I've owned for almost a year. My car is rare, and that's one of the reasons why I bought it in the first place.
