"I can't say they didn't do it, all I can say is they haven't demonstrated that they have."

The event will take place alongside Transpotec Logitec, bringing together passenger and freight transport stakeholders within the same exhibition venue, enhancing collaboration and innovation in the transport sector.

Nio's stock rose 6% in Friday's session, climbing from a prior close of $6.07 to $6.45, as investors cheered a pair of milestones that bulls have been waiting years to see.

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.

Hyundai is planning to discontinue its Ioniq 6 electric sedan from its U.S. lineup. The svelte sedan was a hit among electric vehicle enthusiasts and design aficionados, but it never sold as well as its crossover sibling, the Ioniq 5. Model year 2025 Ioniq 6 will continue to be available, but Hyundai will no longer ship the MY2026 versions to the U.S.

2025-model used cars sold in the fourth quarter of last year went for $6,370 less than their average new car transaction price. That's already substantial savings, but the numbers are even better for EV and PHEV shoppers. Models like the Dodge Charger Daytona and Jeep Wrangler 4XE have truly staggering discounts after less than a year on the road.

Americans don't have a damned clue who makes good EVs. That's what I took away from the January, 2026 edition of the Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report, which measures consumer sentiment toward EV brands. Surveyed consumer sentiment toward EV brands seems to be based on vibes and internal-combustion car experience, not anything resembling reality.

Kia was one of the first legacy automakers to launch great EVs, with the EV6 and EV9 arriving to critical acclaim. But both posted huge sales declines last month, in part due to an industry-wide EV slowdown. That's not the whole story, though, as the mechanically identical Hyundai Ioniq 5 is selling far better than the EV6. Here's what's going on.
