Electric trucks have become increasingly appealing to drivers who want instant torque, quiet operation, and the potential for lower emissions. However, concerns about charging time and finding a charger on a long trip can still make some truck shoppers hesitant to venture into the EV realm. The 2026 Ram 1500 Ramcharger is looking to change that by combining electric driving with a gasoline-powered generator.

Ring three vehicle security companies about fitting a tracker or an immobiliser to a new electric car and there is a fair chance you will get three different answers. One will book you in. One will say they cannot do that model. One will say they can do the tracker but not the immobiliser, or the immobiliser but only in a few months. None of them is necessarily wrong. That is the part owners find frustrating. Compatibility on an electric or hybrid car is not a simple yes or no.

Legendary may be a word that Toyota's PR department uses to describe the Hilux pick-up, but this is actually a fair description. If you travel around the more remote areas of the world such as Africa or the Middle East the Hilux is often the off-road vehicle of choice, and older models seem to keep going for years. Over 27 million Hilux pick-ups have been sold and the latest model is the ninth generation.

There are a lot of opinions about the Jaguar Type 01, which we'll come onto in a moment, but let's start with the facts. After around 10 months of zero Jaguars being manufactured, the Jaguar 01, an electric four-door Grand Tourer (with no rear window), has finally been revealed. It has a driving range of up to 450 miles, 350kW rapid DC charging, up to 1,030PS of power and a 0-62 mph time of 3.2 seconds. Prices for the Type 01 are from £129,950, and from £144,950 for the Design Vision.

For decades, goods loading and unloading operations were carried out almost exclusively using diesel vehicles. However, just as the car market is moving towards more sustainable solutions, the commercial transport sector is following the same path. As a result, a growing number of businesses are adopting electric vans for deliveries, whether to improve operational efficiency or meet sustainability targets.

Polestar was formed as an electric-only Swedish performance brand in 2017 - a spin-off from Volvo. We've had the Polestar 2, 3 and 4 EVs (and the limited production '1' plug-in hybrid), and now we have the 5, inspired by the 2020 Precept concept car, which aims to combine a grand tourer experience with the performance of a supercar. Polestar describes the 5 as a 'showcase' car. So is it? The Polestar 5 has a striking road presence.

A supercar - or an electric supercar - on the Costa del Sol is one of those experiences that lives up to the expectation. The roads are good, the weather is on your side most of the year, and the stretch between Marbella, Puerto Banús and Estepona looks like it was laid out with open-top driving in mind. A little preparation turns a good rental into a great one. Here is what is worth sorting out before you collect the car. Documents you will need A valid driving licence is the starting point.

Electric cars achieved 28.3% of new car registrations in September 2026, resulting in almost 100,000 new EVs appearing on our roads - almost five every minute. The preliminary figures for the UK new car market from the SMMT for plate-change September represents an increase of 36.3% compared to September last year, and EV registrations for this year-to-date stand at 26.2%.

Bringing an electric car home for the first time changes the way you use your garage, even if nobody warns you about it beforehand. You go from a space that mostly held a car, a bike, and whatever you meant to take to the tip six months ago, to a space that now needs to power something overnight, every night. Working out where the cable goes, how the charging point fits around everything else you keep in there, and whether your wiring can actually cope with it all takes a bit of thought.

Over the years Honda has demonstrated flashes of genius; the brand has given us some amazing cars, but also some cars at the other end of the spectrum that haven't quite hit the mark. This has been the case with the company's two previous EVs. The Honda e city car was brilliant, but the subsequent Honda e:Ny1 SUV had a name that was as unmemorable as the car. Honda's third electric car, the 'Super-N', is now here, with an interesting name, and an even more interesting driving experience...
