Cheapest Polestar 2 cut from Aussie line-up: Last year it was being updated, this year the Standard range Single motor is gone!
Polestar has dropped the cheapest version of the Polestar 2 from its Australian line-up as part of a simplified MY27 update due here in the middle of 2026. The Swedish EV brand has confirmed the Standard range Single motor is no longer available, meaning the Polestar 2 range now opens with the Long range Single […]
The Kia EV5 Is The Boxier, Cheaper Alternative To The EV6. With One Catch.
Kia’s not going to stop until there’s an EV for every number, is it? It’s no bad thing—small numbers mean small cars, big numbers mean big cars, and we all know where we stand. (Polestar: Please take note.) The latest EV5 is… in the middle, I suppose. And it’s a slot that could do rather […]
Sony And Honda’s Afeela EVs Are Dead
Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) has canceled the development of Afeela’s upcoming electric cars. The joint venture was on the final stretch to launch an American-made luxury four-door electric sedan, and an SUV was also planned.

Yet this ageing fastback remains a key contributor to the Polestar’s small-but-growing sales volume. For 2026, the update list to the Long range […]
Can Nvidia Beat Tesla At Its Own Self-Driving Game?
I’ve heard my industry colleagues say that CES 2026 was “slow” on the automotive front. Well, I still walked at least five miles a day to cover tech’s biggest trade show, had dozens of conversations with top executives from around the world, and came home with the flu. (I’m on the mend, but thanks for asking.) I’d […]
These Pre-2026 EVs Are Still Filling Dealer Lots, So Expect Big Price Cuts
Many luxury EVs are about to get significantly cheaper as we step into 2026. That’s because dealers still have a lot of leftover inventory for 2025 and even 2024 models. As time passes, dealers will want them gone sooner rather than later. Even with the generous $7,500 federal incentive for EVs out the window, there […]
