However, DC fast charging remains disappointing. 2027 Mercedes-Benz G 580 Electric The 2027 Mercedes-Benz G 580 Electric is available in a single powertrain version in the United States.

The 2027 Mercedes CLA 350 4MATIC Electric is one of the fastest-charging all-electric cars on the US market. After analyzing two 0-100% SOC charging sessions, State of Charge presents a more typical 10-80% SOC charging session that delivers results noticeably better than the specs.

The new 2027 Mercedes-Benz EQS arrives in the United States with a broad set of upgrades and significantly improved performance.

This week brought surprising news: Ionna opened its first charging stations with exclusively NACS (SAE J3400) charging connectors (no CCS1 connectors). Previously, the network deployed chargers with both charging connectors at each site. Across nearly 180 stations and 1,500+ stalls, more than a third (36%) featured NACS charging connectors. The remaining 64% were CCS1. Having both charging connector types is important for maximum compatibility with EVs with NACS and CCS1 charging ports.

It will be the first vehicle built on Ford’s new Universal EV (UEV) platform.

It’s easier to destroy something than to build it. In the physical sciences, this is known as entropy. Even if you’ve never heard the term, it’s intuitive. Consider infrastructure: building a bridge might take years — blowing it up takes seconds. The same holds true in politics. Hard-fought progress can be dismantled quickly by those with the will and the power to do so. Growing up in Southern California in the 1960s, I remember when “smog days” were declared vividly.

BYD significantly accelerated the deployment of its 1.5-MW, 5-minute Flash Charging system in China, reaching 10,000 stations (stalls, we believe) on August 28, 2026. According to CarNewsChina, the company installed 5,000 Flash Chargers between April 1 and August 28, or roughly 1,000 additional stalls per month on average. The plan is to have 20,000 Flash Chargers before the end of the year. It would require more than doubling the installation rate to roughly 2,500 stalls per month.
