Electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality by taking gasoline out of transport and replacing it with electric motors and rechargeable batteries. Whether it's Tesla's revolutionary Cybertruck, an electric bus that can travel 350 miles on a single charge, or even a record-breaking electric car that goes from 0 to 62 mph in 1.5 seconds, our expert writers and editors put the pedal to the metal and put you on the right track with these innovative new vehicles.
So if you're interested in buying an electric car or are just curious about the tech that goes into them, race to the front of the grid with our news, features and articles about electric vehicles.
Latest about Electric Vehicles
Hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft makes record 523-mile journey — and lands with 10% of its fuel left in the tank
An air taxi has completed the first forward flight of a hydrogen-fueled aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing — and it broke a distance record in the process.
Are electric vehicles safer than gas-powered cars? Maybe for the passengers—but not for everyone else.
Fears of electric vehicle fires are blown out of proportion, but because EVs are heavier on average, they're safer for passengers but more dangerous for non-occupants, studies suggest.
1st self-driving car that 'lets you take your eyes off the road' goes on sale in the US — and it's not a Tesla
Mercedes-Benz has sold at least one of its new vehicles fitted with its Drive Pilot autonomous driving software, which lets you take your hands off the steering wheel and your eyes off the road.
China green-lights mass production of autonomous flying taxis — with commercial flights set for 2025
The EHang EH216-S autonomous flying taxi is the first eVTOL ready for mass production and could lead the way for flying cars around the world.
'White hat hackers' carjacked a Tesla using cheap, legal hardware — exposing major security flaws in the vehicle
Security researchers used a $169 Flipper Zero device and a Wi-Fi development board to obtain a driver's credentials, break into a Tesla Model 3 and drive away.
Experimental wireless EV charger is just as fast as a superfast wired plug, scientists say
This 14-inch wireless charging device works at a rate of 100 kW, scientists claim, meaning it's up to 10 times as fast as some of the best commercially available alternatives.
Flying car designed to hop across the Philippines' 7,000 islands coming this year
The Luft Pinoy is an electric minivan combined with a hydrogen-powered eVTOL system to create a flying car that's practical for island-hopping.
Future electric cars could go more than 600 miles on a single charge thanks to battery-boosting gel
By using gel, researchers have found a way to incorporate silicon into batteries while negating its destructive tendency to expand — meaning future EVs could use the technology to go much further on a single charge.
MadRadar hack can make self-driving cars 'hallucinate' imaginary vehicles and veer dangerously off course
The MadRadar hack bypasses the anti-spoofing protections in the radars of self-driving cars and can trick targets into imagining vehicles that aren't there — or hiding other ones that are.
NASA and DARPA flew 'experimental' self-flying helicopters to see if they could avoid crashing into other virtual aircraft
Two pilotless helicopters completed a dozen test flights, while attempting to avoid more than 150 virtual aircraft, to test the systems that will power future air taxis.
