Today’s EV Landscape
Electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid sales are climbing as drivers seek relief from high gas prices, but challenges like heat-related efficiency loss and proposed fees persist. Global EV demand is rising for a second month, according to Reuters, while a YouGov poll shows Americans increasingly view EVs as cheaper to own than gas cars. However, a study warns Phoenix heat could cut EV efficiency by 10%. In policy news, Tennessee targets 750,000 light-duty EVs by 2035, while the Center for American Progress argues proposed EV fees would hurt affordability. Ford’s $19.5 billion EV investment is pushing it into a new battery business, and Chinese EVs are taking the world by storm except in the US. Meanwhile, AI advances promise 23% longer battery life without increasing charging time. Toyota leads US auto rankings as EV demand remains limited.
