Jaecoo E5 (Image: Jaecoo) Chery’s Omoda and Jaecoo brands have launched a Canadian website confirming that their “premium electric SUVs” will arrive in Canada in late 2026. The site doesn’t name a single model, price, or dealer yet. But the Chinese automaker’s global lineup gives a pretty clear idea of what Canadians could get, and it’s heavy on plug-in hybrids. A launch page with no cars on it The new Omoda & Jaecoo Canada website is a teaser at this point. It tells visitors that “the wait is almost over” and that the brands are “coming late 2026,” with a…

Technology Connections/YouTube Ideally, the staffers here would read and remember every single detail from all the car news that gets published every single day, track every single auction, and watch all the videos uploaded to YouTube. Unfortunately for you, we’re humans, not robots, so sometimes we miss a few things. It happens. People make mistakes. It’s ok. Everybody misses something they probably should have seen. Heck, sometimes you just get busy spending time with people in real life, and your devices go unchecked for hours.  So maybe be nice to the next commenter you see who mindlessly typed “V6” instead…

Automakers build modern vehicles using a mind-bending number of parts, with some estimates putting the count at upward of 30,000 individual components for a midsize sedan. The engineering behind making all those parts work together, and doing so for a very long time under harsh conditions, is intricate. As you might imagine, issues often arise well after a number of vehicles have left the factory line. These issues can lead to recalls, which are actions taken to repair or replace a faulty component or vehicle system. Here’s what you need to know about recalls, how they are communicated with owners,…

I drove 854.2 km (530.8 miles) with the 2026 Chevrolet Bolt EV 2RS, with a brand-new powertrain for its rebirth, over a week. Back roads, cities, and highways were on the menu, with the usual fast charging from very low SOC. How did it fare? Abstract The 2026 Chevrolet Bolt EV I tested is the higher trim, the RS. For this new model year, the Bolt EV is equipped with an LFP battery pack and rated for 422 km (262 miles) of range — an efficiency figure I roughly matched over 854.2 km (530.8 miles) of highway, backroad, and city…

The deployed fleet of ultra heavy-duty trucks and mining equipment assets powered by Volvo Autonomous Solutions reached a major milestone last week, hauling their 3 millionth tonne of material out of the mines without a human driver. Volvo CE deployed its first pilot-ready autonomous hauling solutions with customers Boliden Garpenberg in Sweden and Brønnøy Kalk in Norway back 2023, with a milestone of 1 moving million tonnes (~1.1 US tons) of Earth autonomously by 2025. Sharp readers will note that it is now 2026, and Volvo has blown past the original pilot’s goal, crossing the three million ton mark at Boliden’s…

Tesla’s active robotaxi fleet in Austin has fallen back to just 8 vehicles over the past seven days, according to data from community tracker Robotaxi Tracker. That’s about the same number Tesla had on the road when it launched the service in June 2025. Fifteen months of promises, and no net growth. A surge following the “launch of the Cybercab” quickly dissipated. Tesla’s “launch” spiked the numbers for about a week Tesla held a Cybercab launch event in Austin on September 3 and invited a wave of supporters and Tesla influencers to ride the steering-wheel-free vehicle. For a few days,…

Ford remains firmly committed to the Mustang, but its famous V8 engine may not be guaranteed forever. Interestingly, the manual gearbox appears to have stronger backing. Asked whether Ford would keep the V8-powered Mustang alive for as long as possible, CEO Jim Farley said, “Out of our cold, dead hands will we not have…”, before finishing with “a manual Mustang.” The choice of words is interesting. The question specifically mentioned the V8, yet Farley instead offered a strong commitment to the manual transmission without making the same promise about the engine. That doesn’t mean the V8 is disappearing anytime soon.…

Photo: Waymo Waymo is now offering a $2.85 credit to any rider who pairs their ride with public transit, expanding a pilot program it previously ran in two cities – but it’s only available for Visa users, for now. One of the great things about living in a city is that you can get around without a car. Higher housing density makes public transit possible, which then serves as a cheap way to move lots of people quickly. But, every once in a while, you’ll still need some other solution to get where you’re going – especially in American cities…
