Toyota is preparing to introduce the electric version of its best-selling car of all time, the Corolla. When is Toyota launching the electric Corolla? With over 57 million sold worldwide since it went on sale in 1966, the Toyota Corolla is widely considered the best-selling vehicle to date. The Corolla has undergone 12 model changes, but the upcoming version will look (and feel) very different from its predecessors. Toyota offered a sneak peek of the new Corolla in concept form almost a year ago at the Japan Mobility Show. Advertisement – scroll for more content “How should the Corolla evolve?”…

Jeep is reportedly preparing a Hurricane-powered Grand Cherokee for 2028, but the Hemi still isn’t coming back Grand Cherokee reportedly getting Hurricane I6 for 2028. Standard-output engine could make around 420 hp. Jeep has yet to confirm the new powertrain. The Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn’t exactly need saving. The current model is genuinely good, and the three-row Grand Cherokee L remains one of the more compelling family SUVs on the market. It combines a genuinely upscale cabin with real off-road capability. What the lineup could use, though, is a little more excitement at the top. That might be coming. A…

https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Volvo-XC40-Recharge-One-Pedal-Drive.mp4 What is one-pedal driving? One-pedal driving is exactly what it sounds like; it’s when you accelerate and decelerate with the same pedal in an electric vehicle (EV). This is also sometimes known as i-pedal or e-pedal. You push down on the accelerator to speed up, and lift up to slow down at a rate that mimics typical braking force. If you need to stop more quickly, the traditional brake pedal is still available and waits at the ready. It doesn’t take too much practice before you start completing entire drives without ever touching the brake pedal. Using only one-pedal…

With more than 250 km (~155 miles) of battery-only range, genuine off-road capability, and a range extending ICE motor that pushes total range well past 1,000 km (~620 miles), VinFast’s new VF Wild is shaping up to be an interesting entry in the electrified truck race. First shown as an all-electric concept back in 2024, the production version of the new VF Wild pickup is still motivated by an electric motor putting out 160 kW (~215 hp) and 280 Nm (~205 lb-ft.) of torque drawing power from a relatively modest 46.4 kWh LFP battery pack (compared to the monster 205…

General Motors and Pacific Gas and Electric are running a deal to give new EV buyers a free charger, get paid to charge, and save the grid all at the same time. What’s not to love? Much has been said about the strain on the grid that could be produced by EVs. If we suddenly put all the energy use that cars represent onto a grid that’s already overloaded, won’t that be an issue? In a naive view perhaps… but in fact, electric cars can help to save the grid by smoothing out peaks and valleys in demand, making it…
