Six consecutive months of year-on-year sales declines. That is the streak BYD is now on, and February made it the worst single month since the pandemic shut down China’s economy in early 2020. According to a stock market filing released Sunday, BYD’s global sales fell 41.1% from February 2025, with domestic sales collapsing 65% to…

According to court filings…
The 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric can handle 97 percent of normal braking without touching its mechanical brakes. That’s not a marketing claim. It’s the direct result of six seasons of Formula E development, and it’s the clearest example yet of electric racing technology paying off in a production vehicle. Motor1 sat down with TAG Heuer…
A research paper published in Nature on February 25 describes a lithium metal battery that hits 700 Wh/kg at room temperature — nearly three times the energy density of CATL’s Qilin, currently considered the ceiling of commercial battery technology.
