Electric farm tractors are a great idea that hasn’t quite found a way to succeed in the market, but Ohio-based GoSun thinks the time is right to try again – this time with integrated solar charging technology that could give its all-electric tractor a serious advantage over the diesel-powered competition. Co-developed with Indian tractor brand Moonrider, the descriptively named Moonrider 27 All-Electric Solar Tractor from GoSun features a 20 kW (~27 hp) electric motor that sends torque to all four wheels for maximum traction and pulling power on any kind of terrain. A 540 rpm mechanical power take off (PTO)…

Zürich Airport has deployed not one but two fully automated electric shuttle buses on the grounds of Zürich Airport. Crucially, these self-driving vehicles are operating without a human safety monitor, making Zürich one of the first airports in Europe to test L4 autonomy in a live environment. Co-developed with the autonomous vehicles experts at Chinese brand WeRide, the project has been in development since March of 2025, where the shuttles have been put through their paces in a phased approach to ensure they meet the extensive regulations, safety requirements, and technical conditions the EU requires of L4 autonomy. “Safety was…

antoniodiaz/Shutterstock A first car is a formative experience in everyone’s life whether or not those individuals become car-obsessed people. Some kids dreamed of the perfect first car, saved up for it, and got the one they always wanted. A few young car enthusiasts bought a project car that would be ready to drive when they turned 16. Others were given something from the family garage. Or it came down to, “I need a car and have $900 — what can I buy?” Teenagers are not always given a choice as to what that first car will be, and that can…
A pre-production Tesla Cybercab and the steering column bolted inside it, spotted in Berkeley. Photo: Adam Machacek A pre-production Tesla Cybercab was spotted parked on a street in Berkeley, California, and it gives us the clearest look yet at how Tesla puts a steering wheel into a car it designed to have none. The photos, shared with Electrek by reader Adam Machacek, show a Cybertruck steering wheel mounted on an exposed steering column that has been bolted into the two-seat robotaxi. A car built with no wheel, driving on a borrowed one Tesla unveiled the Cybercab in October 2024 as…
A court has blocked the Department of Energy’s attempts to force a broken coal plant open in Michigan, stating that there is no “emergency” that should force the plant to stay open and wasting millions of ratepayer dollars for 468 days after its planned retirement. One of the Department of Energy’s recent tactics has been to issue “emergency orders” forcing coal plants to stay open, even when nobody wants them open. The DoE has used this on six coal plants (and one oil-and-gas plant) in six states, claiming that the plants need to be kept open for “reliability.” The problem,…
Hyundai is set to launch the IONIQ 6 N in the US by the end of the year, its second electric N vehicle following the IONIQ 5. Hyundai IONIQ 6 N set for US launch in 2026 Despite the rumors, Hyundai is still planning to launch the IONIQ 6 N in the US by the end of 2026. After shelving the standard IONIQ 6 following the 2025 model year, many expected the N model would face the same fate. At last year’s LA Auto Show, Hyundai said it would sell the IONIQ 6 N in limited batches after introducing the…
Elon Musk is once again promoting the misuse of Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (FSD), this time by amplifying a video of a 98-year-old man who openly admits he has stopped watching the road. The clip is charming. It’s also a textbook example of the exact driver behavior Tesla’s lawyers are fighting in a growing pile of crash lawsuits. A 98-year-old who ‘doesn’t want to look’ The Fast Lane (TFL) published a video featuring Larry, a 98-year-old from Farmington, New Mexico, who bought a new Model Y and now uses FSD (Supervised) to drive him around town. Sawyer Merritt, a Tesla stock…
