Image: Geely Auto Group Geely says its new AI-powered fast charging system can reverse some of the battery damage caused by fast charging, using micro-pulse currents to add up to 20% more cycle life. Charging a car in under 5 minutes is great, but not if it wears the battery out years early. Geely claims that its ‘Smart Charging’ addresses that and it is using something that sounds like sorcery. A 2.25 MW charger was only half the story Earlier this week, we reported that Geely one-upped BYD with a 2.2 MW charger capable of 4-minute EV charges. The full…

The upcoming Jaguar Type 01 electric GT has been spotted testing in the UAE, possibly marking the first sighting of the much-anticipated EV in the region. A video shared on social media shows the heavily camouflaged prototype first exiting a gas station – rather amusing for a fully electric vehicle. It is later seen driving on public roads, where its sheer length and low-slung proportions give it plenty of presence. The camouflage continues to hide most exterior details, but Jaguar has already given us a look inside. The cabin takes inspiration from the 1980s, featuring “four individual spaces”, two-tone seats…

Maybe you’ve got to pick up a kid from daycare. Perhaps you’re meeting a friend for coffee, heading to the gym, or just running some mundane errand that happens to require going a few miles across town. Those are the moments when a second car starts sounding awfully convenient. But before dropping $20,000, $30,000, or considerably more on another automobile, I’d suggest asking a slightly different…
Although the Tayron didn’t appear in the latest Driver Power survey, Volkswagen’s 26th place finish out of 30 brands in the best manufacturer rankings is disappointing. Higher than expected running costs, infotainment system issues, and poor value for money were the three most common gripes for current owners, so there’s plenty of room for improvement.
