The latest news about electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, regulation and the EV market
The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is entering the market as the standard for high-power charging of electric trucks. But it is not the only concept under development. From six-megawatt connectors to automated underbody charging, we examine the technologies that could complement—or challenge—MCS in specific applications.
The EU Commission has published a call for proposals to receive interest-free loans of up to €1.5 billion to support battery cell production projects.
Kia will also produce the EV3 in Mexico in the future. Starting August 4, the compact electric car will roll off the production line at the Pesquería plant in the state of Nuevo León. Kia also plans to sell the EV there and is therefore investing locally in charging infrastructure and renewable energies.
Developed in-house, Dongfeng’s flagship EV charger can cater to a wide range of battery voltages, peaking at 1,000V.
Daimler Truck has launched a global recall affecting more than 131,000 commercial vehicles. Alongside diesel-powered models, the campaign also covers battery-electric trucks, specifically eActros 300 and eActros 400 vehicles equipped with AGM batteries and produced up to October 2025. The company's flagship battery-electric model, the eActros 600, is not affected.
With Dragonize's E-truck charging ecosystem, chargecloud positions itself as a technology partner for the next expansion stage of commercial vehicle electric mobility. In an interview, CEO Markus Bach explains why smart charging becomes mandatory for large e-truck fleets, the role software plays in load and energy management, and why the leap from pilot project to depot charging park is primarily a question of ensuring every truck is charged and ready when it is scheduled to leave.
Aviation performs useful economic work. It connects remote communities, moves urgent and high-value cargo, brings visitors to places that rely on tourism and enables some work that still requires people to be physically present with equipment, sites, customers or negotiating partners. Those are strong arguments for aviation as a service. ... [continued] The post Aviation’s $4 Trillion Footprint Does Not Prove Every Flight Adds Growth appeared first on CleanTechnica.
The 2027 Genesis GV60 Magma packs over 600 horsepower, virtual gear shifts, and a drift mode.
Dongfeng has unveiled a prototype charging system delivering up to 1.5 MW per charging connector. The Chinese manufacturer says it will expand the portfolio with systems ranging from 720 kW to 2.4 MW for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
Global EV sales shook off a rough start to 2026 and came bounding back in Q2, jumping 35% from the first three months of the year and setting quarterly records in 50 countries.
This is one of the largest solar-plus-battery storage corporate PPA ever signed from a single plant in the U.S., and it will be served by the largest renewable plant in ContourGlobal’s portfolio. Project Sterling is a hybrid solar PV + BESS project in Arizona. With more than 1.4 GWh of ...

New research from The Nature Conservancy in California (TNC) and ECOnorthwest shows that where California builds utility‑scale solar determines how fast projects move through permitting. Solar projects sited on lands already shaped by human activity face fewer hurdles than projects on undisturbed natural lands. Additionally, projects on Williamson Act lands1 face longer review ...
