The Italians are masters of automobile design. One brand that has proven this fact time and again is Alfa Romeo. In fact, they’ve done it again with the new Alfa Romeo Cuorerosso concept. The Cuorerosso is a four-door GT that previews the brand’s future design direction. It’s a stunning take on something as mundane as a sedan. You will be able to view this gorgeous car in person at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. The Cuorerosso concept has a familiar face with Alfa’s signature triangular grille and teardrop-shaped headlights. The car features flared fenders that house stylish gold wheels, short…
For the last few weeks, we’ve been running a sidebar survey about whether our Electrek believed there might be some silver lining to the record-breaking fuel prices following the start of the war in Iran. After nearly 2,000 responses, here’s what you told us. In case you missed the survey, the question read, “they say that every dark cloud has a silver lining, and the recent run of record fuel prices certainly seems like a dark cloud. Can we put a positive spin on it? In other words: what’s the silver lining of $7/gallon gas?” Longtime reader Harry Tuttle immediately understood that,…

For a lot of fleet managers, whether or not electrified equipment assets will lead to real world savings that are worth the higher up-front costs might feel theoretical, but early adopters Groupe Bellemare have been operating battery-powered heavy equipment for years – and their real-world results are real impressive. In 2024, the abrasives and minerals division of Canadian Groupe Bellemare partnered with the Institut du véhicule innovant (IVI) on a three-year program called Plug-In Fleet Heavy Equipment to test and document the equipment’s performance on a functioning job site. In that time, Bellemare says it’s spent less than $54,000 for roughly 15,000…
Zhijiang Xu/Getty Images When it comes time to put your hard-earned money down for a new or new-to-you vehicle, the features can really make or break a purchase. You have to consider the features you use the most, or the ones you never use. There are the necessary convenience features for getting around in 2026, luxurious features (that you probably don’t really need), and the absolute best features – all according to you. Don’t forget the ones we pine for, and the ones we’d potentially trade for a discount on the ever-rising price of a new car. You likely have a list…

Mitusbishi’s North American dealers have been trudging along with an aging, badge-engineered model line for years – but overseas? It’s a different story, and the 459 hp all-wheel drive ASX VR-e electric hot hatch shown here is plug-in proof. Let’s get the technicalities out of the way: the Mitsubishi ASX VR-e isn’t built by Mitsubishi. It’s built in Taiwan by phone and TV manufacturing giant Foxconn under its Foxtron automotive brand. If you’re a cynic, you might argue that the ASX VR-e is just another example of a badge-engineered product meant to fill dealer showrooms. To a romantic, though? Someone whose…
As record-breaking diesel prices drive demand for electric big rigs, so, too is the demand for commercial truck charging climbing. To meet that demand, EV Realty as announced a new, Inland Empire site for its next electric semi truck charging hub. With companies like BYD and Volvo about to roll out their third generation electric trucks and the Tesla Semi allegedly in production after nearly a decade of waiting, it seems like American fleets are starting to understand what the rest of the world has already figured out: predictable fuel costs means predictable operating budgets, and predictable budgets means less…
Porsche Boxster EV charging at Tesla Supercharger in California. Photo: Roland J, used with permission Porsche has finally confirmed that there will be no more gas-powered Boxster/Cayman going forward, and that all-electric versions of those vehicles will have their first production year in 2028. The move shows that Porsche is finally ready to bring electric power to its sportscars… but Porsche’s CEO still says the 911 will “never” go electric. We think time will show him to be wrong on that one. Porsche held an investor presentation today, laying out its strategy through 2035. In it, it talked about the…
