The newest Mercedes-Benz VLE 300 electric MPV combines 800V battery tech with limousine-level luxury, top-shelf infotainment options, room for eight, and enough rear legroom to make an S-Class feel like a mini Cooper.
Telo confirmed that its Mini-sized MT1 electric truck will charge at 400 kW sustained — a charging rate that puts it in the company of luxury EVs costing two to three times as much.
The startup also revealed a dual 800V/400V split-pack battery architecture designed to maximize performance on any fast charger, not just the latest high-voltage stations.
Jeep’s first real off-road EV is finally here. The 2026 Jeep Recon EV is now on sale, starting at $67,000, but its driving range comes up a bit short of expectations.
Maserati revealed updates to its Folgore electric lineup, with the GranTurismo Folgore now claiming over 540 km (335 miles) of WLTP range — an improvement of roughly 85 km over the previous version thanks to new energy management algorithms.
The range gains come as Maserati fights for relevance amid a sales collapse that saw deliveries drop to just 7,900 units in 2025, down 30% year-over-year and the lowest since 2012.
Mitsubishi’s Kei-class eK Cross gets a mild facelift for the 2027 model year that combines a body-color front fascia and updated interior tech to give it a fresh look – but the big news is a new 100 V AC power outlet that can draw up to 1500 Watts.
Honda launched the Super-N, a “fun” electric hot hatch in the UK, starting at just $25,000.
