Electric Vehicles

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 15, 2025 – Peugeot has officially opened orders for the E-208 GTi, the brand's first fully electric hot hatch, following its reveal at the 24 Hours of Le Mans — a venue the French automaker chose deliberately, marking 100 years since it first raced there. Starting from €42,900 in France, the E-208 GTi packs a 281 hp electric motor developed by Peugeot Sport, sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds, and offers a WLTP range of up to 375 km. For fans of the legendary 205 GTi lineage, this isn't just a new car — it's a statement that the GTi spirit can survive the electric transition.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 08, 2026 – Peugeot has done what it promised: one year after teasing the world with a concept at Le Mans, the French automaker is back at the Circuit de la Sarthe to reveal the production version of the PEUGEOT E-208 GTi. The car is fully electric, stays remarkably true to the concept shown in 2025, and arrives at a moment loaded with symbolism — Peugeot is simultaneously celebrating 100 years of racing at Le Mans. For fans of the GTi badge, a nameplate that stretches back to the legendary 205 GTi of the 1980s, this is the moment the rumours became metal.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 6, 2026 -- Lexus has pulled back the curtain on the TZ, its first-ever three-row battery electric SUV, and the story behind how it was built is just as compelling as the car itself. The world premiere took place on May 7 at Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama — a sprawling development hub straddling the cities of Toyota and Okazaki in Aichi Prefecture — drawing media from across Japan and around the world to witness a significant milestone for the Lexus brand. From the way the rear seats cocoon passengers to a quietly refined drive that left testers genuinely surprised, the TZ is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious electric vehicles to come out of Japan, and the infrastructure to support it is growing alongside it.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 22, 2026 – Car buyers may not recognize the name “STLA One” yet, but the new vehicle platform unveiled by Stellantis could quietly shape the next generation of everyday driving across multiple brands and vehicle categories. The company says the new modular architecture is designed to support everything from compact city cars to larger family-focused models while handling multiple powertrain types, including battery-electric vehicles and hybrid systems. Scheduled to launch in 2027, the platform is also expected to help Stellantis reduce manufacturing complexity, lower costs, and roll out new technology faster across future vehicles.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – Electric vehicle charging is undergoing a fundamental rethink. Electreon, a wireless charging technology company, has developed a system built directly into road surfaces and depot floors, allowing EVs to top up their batteries automatically while they drive, wait in traffic, or park on equipped ground. The technology is already live in multiple real-world projects — including a UPS delivery depot in Detroit, a 23-bus depot near Tel Aviv, a highway corridor in France, and a bus rapid transit network in Norway. For fleet operators and public transport authorities, it removes the need to schedule dedicated charging stops entirely.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 12, 2026 – Volkswagen is pressing ahead with one of its most active electric vehicle rollouts in years, revealing the ID.3 Neo as the named successor to the ID.3 ahead of its world premiere in mid-April, while simultaneously debuting the near-production ID. Cross concept on the streets of Amsterdam as a preview of a compact SUV set to launch in Europe from autumn 2026 at a starting price of around 28,000 euros. The two announcements signal a deliberate push by the German automaker to deepen its electric portfolio across both the compact hatchback and affordable SUV segments, reaching buyers who have found earlier EV offerings either too expensive or too limited for daily use. Alongside these model introductions, Volkswagen has rolled out a significant software upgrade across the ID.4, ID.5, and ID.7, bringing new driver-assist features and a revised infotainment system that also apply to all new ID. models going forward.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – March 13, 2026 – Volkswagen says it has delivered its two millionth all-electric vehicle to a customer, marking a new milestone for one of the world’s biggest car brands. The update is aimed at anyone watching the growth of EVs in the mass market, especially buyers comparing how established automakers are scaling electric lineups. While the source material gives only limited detail beyond the milestone itself, the figure matters because it signals the size of Volkswagen’s battery-electric customer base. For consumers, that kind of volume can shape confidence around product availability, long-term support, and the broader shift toward electric driving.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 9, 2026 – BMW is bringing the new iX3 to CES 2026 as a showcase for what the brand says is its next chapter in electric driving, digital comfort, and in-car intelligence. The headline moment is the first public demo of an enhanced, AI-powered BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with Alexa+ technology, paired with the new BMW Panoramic iDrive and BMW Operating System X. For everyday drivers, this isn’t just “future tech on a stage” energy—it’s a preview of how your next car could talk to you more naturally, entertain you while parked, and charge faster, while BMW says these Neue Klasse technologies are set to spread across a wide slice of its lineup by 2027.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – Lexus is expanding its dedicated battery-electric RZ lineup with a special-edition RZ 600e “F SPORT Performance,” aiming for a sharper, more emotionally charged kind of EV driving when it arrives at Lexus dealerships across Japan on March 2, 2026.

A Special Edition That’s Meant To Feel Alive

Some electric cars impress you on paper, but leave you a little emotionally untouched once you’re behind the wheel. Lexus is clearly trying to push against that with the Special Edition RZ 600e “F SPORT Performance,” built to deepen the “Always On” idea—meaning the car should feel responsive and connected whether you’re cruising through a city evening or carving along a winding stretch of road.

"Always On"

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 15, 2025 – Finland’s electric-vehicle shift is moving fast—and Chinese car brands are starting to feel less like “newcomers” and more like a normal part of the showroom conversation. A new industry view from Helsinki suggests that as more drivers swap gasoline habits for charging routines, brands like MG, BYD, and Polestar are becoming increasingly visible choices for everyday, price-aware consumers. The result is a market story that’s less about hype and more about practical value in the middle of Europe’s EV transition.
