Nissan’s luxury arm, Infiniti, teased a picture of an electric SUV it plans to introduce at January’s Detroit auto show. The new model is likely to be the first of what Nissan has promised will be a new “almost” all-electric lineup for the luxury brand.
Hyundai released pricing for its upcoming Kona Electric SUV. It will match the Chevy Bolt EV, but will retain larger federal tax credits for longer.
Chinese electric automaker Nio, known as the Chinese Tesla, revealed its second SUV, the ES6, scheduled to go on sale next year. It also announced a new version of its more expensive ES8, as well as a new battery upgrade plan.
Mercedes-Benz joined German rivals BMW and Volkswagen in announcing a big investment in battery supplies for electric cars. The question is, how will it affect jobs in the country? And are the German automakers setting an example Detroit should follow?
A South African Twitter user caught VW testing prototypes of the company’s new electric I.D. hatchback in the country. The I.D. hatchback is not expected to come to the U.S.—at least not right away.
Finally, China temporarily reduced tariffs on imported American cars—which could help Tesla sell more cars in the country even before it completes its first factory there.
