Clean energy will transform the global energy system by 2030, and solar and EVs are providing “hope for the way forward,” according to the IEA’s new “World Energy Outlook 2023,” released today. The International Energy Agency (IEA) describes a global energy system in 2030 that includes almost 10 times as many EVs on the road worldwide compared to 2023. In 2020, the authors note, 1 in 25 cars sold was electric – and in 2023, it’s now 1 in 5. So in light of that, it’s not hard to imagine how EV adoption momentum is going to propel forward so…

Tesla has revealed that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has intensified its investigation into the company lately. In its latest SEC quarterly report (via Electrek), the EV maker has confirmed that the DOJ investigation has expanded beyond Full Self-Driving and Autopilot to include subpoenas on vehicle range and other matters. “The Company has received requests for information, including subpoenas from the DOJ, regarding certain matters associated with personal benefits, related parties, vehicle range, and personnel decisions.” This is the first time Tesla has acknowledged receiving subpoenas from the DOJ on these matters. The vehicle range issue likely has something…
Back in August, German bike brand Propain unleashed the Ekano 2 AL electric mountain bike. The aluminum-framed all-mountain/enduro e-bike impressed with its long-travel suspension and upmarket componentry, however, it seems that Propain has outdone itself with the launch of the Ekano 2 CF. As the name suggests, it ditches the aluminum frame for a lighter carbon one, and also packs a few changes beneath the surface. To start with, the Propain Ekano 2 CF is marketed as a performance-focused electric mountain bike for use on both trails and bike parks. It holds an ASTM Category 5 classification which means it’s…

The iPhone maker Foxconn previews more of its Foxtron EVs. And there’s another This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Among several concept vehicles planned for the Tokyo auto show this week, Toyota revealed a Land Cruiser Se EV concept that might take the rugged off-road nameplate in a new direction—potentially, as an even bigger three-row family vehicle. Is it the 3-row electric SUV due to be…
Toyota revealed Monday that at the Tokyo auto show this week it will debut a fully electric Land Cruiser Se concept that could be a template for remaking the rugged off-road legend for the electric era. The concept has three rows to seat up to seven, and it’s truly American-sized, at nearly 203 inches long, about 78 inches wide, and 67 inches high. That’s about seven inches longer but about nine inches lower overall than the current/upcoming truck. It also rides on a 120-inch wheelbase—about eight inches longer than that of the current model.

A Tesla Cybertruck couldn’t charge at a Supercharger station in the Mojave desert and had to be towed, but it gave us a half-decent size comparison with Ford F-150 Raptor. Tesla currently has a large fleet of Cybertruck prototypes undergoing testing in the wild ahead of the start of deliveries at the end of next month. As expected in any vehicle testing program, some of those vehicles break down. It has given us opportunities to get a closer look at the electric pickup truck at times, like a first look at Cybertruck’s suspension. Now a Cybertruck Owner’s Club member, CHC,…
