Electric Vehicles

Motoring on many electric kickscooters can have riders twisting their bodies to fit both feet on fairly narrow decks. UK-based micromobility company Pure Electric is looking to encourage a more natural stance with the launch of the Advance e-scoots.

There are quads, there are off-road scooters and skateboards … and then there's the 4X4 Gladiator. The go-anywhere electric vehicle is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, and it will certainly turn a few heads.

Part urban mobility solution and part fashion statement, the shiny Nano e-scooter looks like it was plucked straight out of sci-fi movie set in outer space, but could be coming to the streets of Earth sometime in the not so distant future.

Trying to achieve "more with less," Citroën presents the Oli, a vision for a family-size electric with SUV utility, MPV versatility, and urban commuter efficiency. The concept packs rugged mini-Hummer looks, a tiny pickup bed and 248 miles of range.

If passengers are traveling in a truly self-driving car, they don't have to stay in the traditional seating position. That's where Volkswagen's Gen.Travel concept comes in, as it allows the seating to be rearranged for different types of trips.

Scientists experimenting with key components in lithium batteries have come up with a promising new design that could see electric vehicles charge much faster, and offer twice the range at the same time.

As the EV revolution speeds up, and big battery projects ramp up to stabilize power grids running on intermittent renewables, global demand for lithium batteries will rise sixfold in the next 10 years. But can the world actually supply the materials?

The Ariel "Hipercar" breaks from the electric supercar pack with a little performance-rounding innovation. Not only does it leverage a 4-motor drive for eyebrow-shearing performance, it packs a turbine range-extender for the flexibility of a gas car.

After two years in development, Mercedes-Benz Trucks has publicly unveiled a long-range version of its eActros freight truck in prototype form at IAA Transportation 2022 in Hanover, ahead of customer testing by Amazon and Rhenus next year.

Dacia is rolling into the Paris Motor Show next month with a striking mobile design lab called the Manifesto, a striking electric buggy that showcases outdoors-focused ideas that may or may not make it into future production vehicles.

Last year, Colorado Teardrops proposed a small trailer with a battery large enough to charge its electric tow vehicle and make up for range lost via towing. What was previously a series of (very rough) Boulder renderings is now a working prototype.
