Monday is the final date to place an order for a new Tesla and still receive the full $7,500 federal tax credit. Tesla’s credits will be reduced on Jan. 1 after the electric-car maker is the first to reach the 200,000-vehicle cap for federal credits.
BMW recalled the charge cords for 2018 and 2019 plug-in models. Capacitors in the charge cords could fail, resulting in a shock hazard or fire.
Israel announced it will halt the sale of cars powered by an internal-combustion engine by 2030. Gas and diesel-powered trucks will run on natural gas, and passenger cars will all be electric.
