Ford and Tesla link to charge. Tesla leads other EVs in driving miles. Hyundai’s rental price is lower than Tesla’s. And Hyundai plans to supply a lot of batteries for US-made electric vehicles. This and more, at Green Car Reports.
On Thursday, Ford and Tesla made an announcement that could change the landscape of electric vehicle charging forever: Ford is adopting Tesla’s charging port for future electric vehicles, as well as providing Supercharger access with an adapter for existing electric vehicles starting next year. Now, will other smaller automakers also jump to Tesla’s standards?
hyundai Rental prices for Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 are currently lower than prices from Tesla, according to a report that dug into the numbers. Again, support for the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit loophole applies to EV leases — even if they are imported.
Straight to the point, Hyundai and LG this morning confirmed the final details for a joint venture battery plant in Georgia that will supply Hyundai’s Georga EV Metaplant with American-made batteries. That plant will be capable of producing 300,000 electric vehicles a year, though the company has yet to confirm which models those will be from Hyundai, Kia or Genesis.
And electric cars cost 47% more than internal combustion cars, but save 29%. That’s a finding from a recent data collection based on used vehicles for sale — and it confirms previous findings from academia that Tesla leads other EVs in driving miles. But perhaps policy needs to focus more on those “gasoline super consumers”.
