Nearly 50% of U.S. dealerships show zero interest for selling electric vehicles, study finds. Dealership enthusiasm for EVs is particularly low in southern states, and even in California. Even dealers in colder states worry about winter range issues, adding to their disinterest in EVs. Despite automakers easing back on their EV push in the face of a slowdown in demand , car buyers have a greater choice of electric cars than ever before, and that choice is only going to grow over the next few yea

The Fulwin T11 has a 1.5-liter turbo engine paired with two electric motors. Chinese media says the SUV will be able to travel up to 124 miles (200 km) on electric power. We think its side profile and two-tone paint job give off a Mercedes-Maybach GLS vibe. New images of Chery’s Fulwin T11 flagship SUV have surfaced online, and with its flashy two-tone paint, chrome bling, and massive footprint, some are calling it a budget Range Rover.

Long before EVs hit the mainstream, car manufacturers had to spend millions to extract additional grunt from high-performance engines, redesigning internals and fitting improved forced induction systems. Things are a little easier with EVs. Case in point, the 2025 e-tron GT family. In June, the sleek electric sedan received a mid-life facelift and rather than benefiting from a small boost in power, Audi went all out, turning it into a supercar destroyer.
