Denza has made its already outrageous Z9 GT EV considerably more affordable in China. The new e3 Flash Charge trim starts at 329,800 yuan, or around $49,000, while retaining the same 1,140 hp tri-motor powertrain as the more expensive Performance version that costs around 40,000 yuan or $6000 more. That means buyers are still getting a seriously potent electric shooting brake at an even lower cost. The all-wheel-drive setup combines a 230 kW front motor with two 310 kW permanent-magnet motors at the rear, producing 892 lb ft of torque. Denza quotes a 0-62 mph time of just 2.8 seconds.…

Tesla Cybertruck’s three configurations are all the same on the outside from an appearance perspective, but they differ slightly in price, range, performance, and other features. After yesterday’s price adjustment, Tesla’s Base All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck is now priced at $74,990, a far cry from the $59,990 it started at several months ago. At $60,000, the Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive is a steal: no pickup, electric or gas-powered, comes close in terms of overall driving capability thanks to Steer-by-Wire; no truck is more fun to drive at that price, and add in Full Self-Driving for $99 per month, and you truly have the best…

Government incentives were changed at the end of last year, causing a drop for the first couple months of the year. This led many to prematurely declare the end of electric cars in China – even though sales of other types of vehicles were dropping as…
