Lamborghini abandons all-electric supercar, bets on plug-in hybrids

Lamborghini has scrapped its planned Lanzador all-electric supercar after CEO Stephen Winkelmann cited near-zero buyer interest. The company will replace the Lanzador with plug-in hybrids (like Reveulto and Urus) and aims for a hybrid EV lineup by 2030, while continuing internal combustion engines for as long as possible; a future all-electric model could appear only when the time is right.

Lamborghini Quits Lanzador, Bets on Plug-In Hybrids as EV Demand Slumps

Lamborghini scrapped its pure-electric Lanzador and plans a plug-in hybrid version by the end of the decade, with the next-gen Urus also moving away from full electrification. CEO Stephan Winkelmann said demand for EVs among its high-end customers is near zero, calling EVs an “expensive hobby” while regulators push decarbonization; the move aims to balance emission rules with the brand’s emotional appeal.

Donut Lab’s solid-state battery shows fast charging in independent test

The first independent test of Donut Lab’s production-ready solid-state battery, conducted by Finland’s VTT, found it can charging from 0 to 80% in about 9.5 minutes (and roughly 4.5 minutes in another test) with minimal capacity loss, using passive cooling and high C-rates, suggesting charging speeds much faster than traditional lithium‑ion packs; however, the chemistry isn’t disclosed and dendrite-related issues aren’t addressed in this test, so more independent validation is needed.

Stellantis’s EV gamble exposes a carmaker bogged down by debt and missteps

Stellantis, the parent of Jeep and Dodge, booked a $26.5 billion hit on its EV bets and a $16.7 billion charge for warranties and recalls, highlighting deeper issues beyond a single misstep. The company remains heavily reliant on trucks and SUVs, suffers from a bloated brand lineup and leadership turnover, and faces regulatory and market headwinds as EV demand cools. Europe’s diesel revival and uneven EV execution complicate a turnaround, even as Stellantis pursues new EVs and battery tech to regain momentum amid stiff competition.

Uber Expands EV Charging Footprint by Backing Operators with Guaranteed Use

Uber will incentivize third-party operators to install EV chargers in drivers’ US and European neighborhoods and guarantee a minimum amount of usage to help recoup investments, aiming to accelerate charging infrastructure despite recent U.S. policy shifts.

Michigan targets oil giants in antitrust bid to slow clean energy transition

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed a federal-state antitrust lawsuit against BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell and the American Petroleum Institute, accusing a cartel-like conspiracy to delay the adoption of cleaner technologies (solar power and electric vehicles) to protect fossil fuels and keep energy costs high. The complaint frames an antitrust violation rather than climate misinformation, but experts say proving an actual agreement and damages will be challenging and could hinge on discovery; the suit faces potential motions to dismiss and questions of timing. The case echoes other climate lawsuits and comes amid a broader push in Congress for liability shields for oil interests.

China’s carmakers target US showrooms within a decade

Chinese automakers expect to start selling in the United States within five to ten years, potentially by building US plants rather than shipping from China, a move that could boost EV competition and lower prices but faces 100% tariffs and buyer skepticism; Volvo's South Carolina plant could serve as a beachhead for Geely-backed brands like Zeekr and Lynk & Co., while BYD is already leading global EV sales, underscoring why the US market is attractive despite regulatory and national-security hurdles.

Ferrari's Luce EV Debuts a Button-Driven, Apple-Esque Interior

Ferrari’s first electric car, the Luce, features a highly tactile, button-rich interior designed with LoveFrom (Jony Ive and Marc Newson), melding racing heritage with Apple-style minimalism. Key elements include a steering-wheel with numerous switches, a swivel center display, a glass gear selector, and a helicopter-inspired digital cluster that blends analog cues with digital readouts. The Luce is positioned as a four‑door, four‑seat EV with strong performance and range figures previously disclosed (0–60 mph in about 2.5 seconds, roughly 330 miles), with exterior details and full specs to be revealed later in May. Pricing and availability are not yet announced.

Ultra-Fast EV Charging Can Accelerate Battery Degradation, Study Finds

Geotab’s analysis of over 22,700 EVs shows that frequent charging at high-power stations (>100 kW) accelerates battery aging, with about 2.5% annual degradation for heavy use and 1.5% for lighter fast-charging; Level 2 charges degrade about half as fast. The overall average degradation is roughly 2.3% per year, with batteries settling around 1.4% per year after early capacity drops. While fast charging isn’t catastrophic and modern battery management helps, making Level 3 charging a habit will speed up capacity loss, so balance convenience with charging power.

Stellantis Takes 22-Billion-Euro Hit to Speed Up EV Rollout

Stellantis disclosed a 22-billion-euro charge to overhaul its business to accelerate its electric and hybrid-vehicle rollout, blaming overestimation of the energy transition pace and prior execution issues. As part of a reset, it will pause its 2026 dividend and issue up to 5 billion euros in bonds while pursuing a large U.S. investment that will add 5,000 jobs. The company still targets mid-single-digit revenue growth and a low-single-digit margin rise in 2026, after signaling a likely 2025 net loss and noting a sharp drop in its shares.

China bans hidden EV door handles, mandates mechanical releases from 2027

China’s MIIT announced that all EVs sold in the country must have mechanical door releases, banning flush-mounted/hidden handles (a Tesla-era design) starting January 2027. The rule targets safety concerns about people getting trapped by electronic door systems and follows data suggesting hidden handles were common in China’s NEV market in 2025; it comes as US investigations into Tesla’s door mechanisms continue.
