Revoy hybrid tandem trailer rolls towards reality with $27 million raiseBy packing batteries and an electric drive axle into a tandem trailer that fits between a conventional semi truck and trailer, Revoy EV promises to “electrify” trucking and cut a fleet’s fuel bill in half. Now, after years of development, the concept is taking some real steps towards production. In fact, it’s taking 27 million of them!
The eagerly anticipated Geely Galaxy 700 was expected to be the Chinese brand’s answer to the Range Rover and Land Cruiser – but, with a tire-shredding 1,113 hp on tap, it may be a bigger, boxier answer to Italian exotic cars, instead!

A growing number of Tesla owners running the new Full Self-Driving v14 “Lite” build on Hardware 3 (HW3) vehicles are reporting Autopilot computer overheating alerts — and, in some cases, outright computer failures.
The reports have stacked up in the two weeks since Tesla pushed v14 Lite to wide release, and four owners have contacted Electrek directly about the same problem.
Volvo is preparing to launch the EX50 in the US, an entry-level electric SUV aimed at the Tesla Model Y that will start at under $50,000.
I drove the 2026 Model Y RWD (Standard) for about 550 km (342 miles) across a mix of highway, back roads, and city driving, and I enjoyed the efficiency and technology far more than the driving experience itself. For anyone shopping for an affordable Tesla built around the brand’s software and ecosystem, this standard trim is a real contender, but it drives more like a generic SUV than the brand promises.
Here is the full review:
After a gunman opened fire at a Twin Falls, Idaho, In-N-Out with an attached Tesla Supercharger last week, EV owners flooded social media with the same suggestion: buy an EVject.
The breakaway charging connector lets you drive off while still plugged in. It sounds like an obvious fix for a horrifying scenario — but it’s a controversial device that doesn’t actually solve the problem, and it points to something Tesla and every other automaker should be building instead.
Hyundai and Kia’s record sales streak in the US continued in July with electrified vehicles driving growth.
If there’s one trend that has defined the direct-to-consumer e-bike industry over the last few years, it’s the relentless race toward bigger numbers. Bigger batteries. Bigger motors. Higher top speeds. And now Aniioki has unveiled what may be one of the most extreme examples yet.
The company’s new A9 Pro Max Dual Motor 2.0 arrives with up to 6,000 watts of peak motor power, a claimed top speed of well above 50 mph (80 km/h) depending on the version, and battery options topping out at a staggering 5 kWh. Those numbers go beyond just big e-bike figures and pass well into legitimate electric motorcycle numbers.
The Tren Solar de la Quebrada is Latin America’s first primarily solar-powered passenger train, carrying tens of thousands of travelers through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca with the power of the sun.
I’ve spent countless hours here at Electrek doing detailed hands-on testing of hundreds of electric bikes. Through thousands of miles of riding, I’ve been fortunate to learn these e-bikes inside and out, top to bottom and front to back. That long-term experience with real-world e-bike testing has helped me find the best electric bicycles on the market for just about any budget.
Below are some of the top e-bikes I’ve hand-tested for every price range, current as of August 2026. With summer kicking it in high gear, it’s a great time to be in the saddle and out there riding! Check out the awesome e-bikes below, any one of which could become your next electric bike.
The largest electric bicycle company in the US, Lectric eBikes, has just hit a pair of dizzying milestones. The much-vaunted e-bike maker reached $1 billion in sales on its e-commerce platform yesterday and sold its 750,000th electric bicycle. And perhaps even more stunning, it landed those two feats on the same day.
Vietnamese all-electric taxi operator Green SM has made its European debut in Copenhagen, rolling out a company-owned fleet of VinFast EVs.

BYD is bringing its boxy, seven-seat SUV to Europe and the UK. The Ti 7 is now on sale in the UK, and it’s even cheaper than the Land Rover Defender PHEV.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into roughly 1.2 million Tesla vehicles after receiving 156 complaints of a front suspension component detaching while driving.
The probe covers 2018-2020 Model 3 and 2021-2023 Model Y vehicles, and it centers on the front lower lateral link separating from the car.
The US electric two-wheeler market has no shortage of high-powered electric motorcycles and moped-style e-bikes. But if you’re looking for something in between – a practical, street-legal electric scooter built for everyday transportation rather than weekend thrills – your options are surprisingly limited.
That’s why the new HMP Lightning MK.II caught my attention.
A mysterious IONIQ 5 test mule was caught in South Korea with an all-new interior setup, including a large 18″ infotainment screen.
We’ve seen quite a few low-cost mini e-Moto pit bikes that flirt with the $1000 price tag over the past months, but today’s has a really interesting trick: It auto-wheelies. It can’t be that simple can it? I grabbed my 14-year-old and some extra padding to find out.
This week on Electrek’s Wheel-E podcast, we discuss the most popular news stories from the world of electric bikes and other nontraditional electric vehicles. This time, that includes new e-bikes from VW and Specialized, a Huffy kids’ e-bike, Veo adds a three-wheeler to its shared micromobility lineup, we tested the new Juiced Scrambler, Anyland Rev Pro HMP launches 75 mph Flash e-scooter, and more.
Tesla is looking at cutting loose its China business to clear a path toward a merger with SpaceX, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.
If true, it would be a massive deal in the auto industry. Tesla’s Shanghai factory builds more than half of all Tesla vehicles, so any separation would carve out the single biggest piece of Tesla’s car operation.
Update: Elon Musk has denied the WSJ report, but as usual, that should be taken with a grain of salt.
A giant 1 GWh battery is now under construction outside Columbus, Ohio, where data center and industrial development is rapidly pushing up electricity demand.
Juiced Bikes is one of the most recognizable names in the history of electric bikes in North America. Long before e-bike classes and speed limits became commonplace, the company built a loyal following with powerful bikes that blurred the line between bicycles and mopeds. But after the brand collapsed in 2024, many assumed Juiced was destined to become little more than a nostalgic footnote.
Now it’s back under new ownership, and after spending several days riding the new Juiced Scrambler alongside Juiced’s fearless new leader Austin Gomes, I came away thinking the company is now going beyond trying to recapture the past. Instead, it’s trying to redefine what a legal, street-ready moped-style e-bike can be.
Four Greater Boston communities now have off-grid solar EV chargers powering a new Zipcar pilot designed to bring affordable carsharing to places that have historically gone without it.
Kia opened pre-orders for the EV3 in Mexico, where the electric SUV will be built and shipped to the US later this year.

The financials came in strong too. Revenue reached $1.658 billion, up 27% year-over-year, and Rivian posted a record $179 million gross profit while beating Wall Street on revenue, earnings, and adjusted EBITDA.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has spent 2026 turning his X feed into a problem no investor relations team can fix. His posts have escalated from trolling into open white nationalism, and this week his AI company sued the state of Minnesota to block a law targeting nonconsensual sexual deepfakes.
The board of a public company would have fired the CEO for just a fraction of the stuff Musk is posting these days. However, Tesla is not a normal company. Shareholders have given full control to Musk and now, they have to live with it.
We’ve got two big exclusive Jackery deals leading today’s Green Deals, with up to $1,450 savings on the 3,584Wh HomePower 3600 Plus and 2,048Wh HomePower 2000 Plus v2 power stations to new low prices of $1,349 and $849.

One of China’s newest EVs is also its fastest-charging, with the ability to fill its battery from 10-70% in 4 minutes and 22 seconds.
But that’s not the only recent announcement of a fast-charging battery that quotes how many seconds it takes to fill up, showing that the race for fast charging has entered a new era which treats seconds as the significant figure, rather than minutes.
Tesla has built its 10 millionth vehicle, the company announced this week. Ten million all-electric cars is a real milestone, and no other automaker has done it.
But it’s arriving later than Tesla once promised, and the company is now building well under the capacity it already has.

Ferrari has already sold every Luce it plans to build in 2026. The automaker’s first electric car hit its full-year sales target — just under 500 units — in less than two months, the Financial Times reported.
That’s despite a brutal wave of design criticism and a €550,000 (~$640,000) starting price that lands the EV near the top of Ferrari’s lineup.

For many parents, the idea of buying an electric bike for their kid might initially seem unnecessary. After all, didn’t we all grow up pedaling regular bikes without a motor?
But the more you look at today’s generation of young riders – and the role that e-bikes can play in getting them outside – the more compelling the argument becomes. Huffy is betting on exactly that with its Quantis Kids eBike, a 24-inch electric bicycle designed for riders aged 12 and up.
Hyundai says the IONIQ 3 is attracting more customer interest than any vehicle it’s ever launched. With over 300 miles of range, Hyundai’s new high-tech infotainment system, and a starting price around $30,000, the electric hatch checks all the boxes.
Volvo has confirmed it’s dropping lidar for good on the EX90 and ES90, and it’s paying owners compensation for a feature they were promised but will never get.
In Norway, that payout is NOK 18,000 (about $1,900) per car, one of several market-by-market checks Volvo is writing after cutting ties with lidar supplier Luminar.
Starting next year, Kia will begin launching vehicles equipped with Hyundai’s new high-tech infotainment system.

The manager, Javier Medrano, filed the wrongful-termination complaint in Houston federal court, and its contents were reported this week. He oversaw the fleet before Tesla launched its driverless “Robotaxi” in the city.
If you’ve spent any time in a city with shared micromobility, you’ve probably seen fleets of rental e-bikes and e-scooters waiting on street corners. But one company is betting that the next evolution of shared transportation isn’t just another bike or scooter – it’s an electric trike.

Mitsubishi is bringing a fully electric vehicle back to North America for the first time in over a decade, and it’s calling the 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV “all-new.”

Across the US, school districts are increasingly finding themselves caught in the middle of an uncomfortable question: Should they embrace e-bikes and e-scooters as tools that give students greater transportation independence, or restrict them because of growing safety concerns?

Going by Tesla’s record on self-driving deadlines, it is: their jobs are safe for a long time.
Kalmar Ottawa has been a leader in diesel-powered yard trucks for decades, but as global logistics fleets move to reduce costs and insulate themselves from volatile diesel prices, the company is making that shift, too – and they’re out to prove their new, battery-electric T2 EV can deliver the same durability and productivity that’s made the original T2 a fixture at ports for years.
