I’ve spent the past year documenting what happens when you build an industry on government subsidies. Now we have the data to prove what we suspected all along: the $7,500 federal tax credit never drove genuine EV demand. Deloitte’s 2026 Global Automotive Consumer Study, released today, surveyed more than 28,500 consumers across 27 countries between…
I’ve been documenting Tesla’s European decline all year, and the final numbers are in: it’s worse than even I expected. While the broader European EV market surged 27% in 2025, Tesla’s sales cratered 38.8% to just 129,000 units. That’s not missing a trend. That’s a market share collapse from 2.2% to 1.3% in 11 months while Chinese…
I’ve been tracking Porsche’s China collapse for months, and this move crystallizes what’s really happening. The German luxury automaker is shutting down its proprietary “Premium Charging” network across China starting March 2026, eliminating roughly 200 fast-charging stations that were supposed to differentiate the Porsche EV ownership experience from competitors. The company’s spin is predictable
I watched Volkswagen announce the ID Buzz as America’s nostalgic EV savior. Now, after one model year and fewer than 5,000 sales, dealers are telling customers it’s over while VW insists it might come back someday. Here’s what you need to know: VW confirmed to Carscoops they won’t produce 2026 ID Buzz models for the…
We’ve reported on Volkswagen’s “affordable EV” promises for years now, and I’ve learned to translate corporate timelines into reality. When VW says the ID.Cross is coming “mid-2026,” I hear “maybe late 2026, if nothing else goes wrong at a company that just posted a €1.3 billion quarterly loss.” New spy photos from Auto Express show…
I’ve been reporting Tesla’s German battery promises since 2020. Every year brings a new announcement. Every year, the cells don’t materialize. Today’s €1 billion battery investment news comes with the same hedged language we’ve heard before, and it drops on the exact day the European Union formally abandoned its 2035 EV mandate. The timing tells…
I’ve been covering the EV transition for years, and this week’s headlines declaring the electric revolution is “unraveling” miss the point entirely. What we’re actually watching is the predictable collapse of subsidy-dependent strategies by legacy automakers who never figured out how to build affordable EVs without government life support. The carnage is staggering. Bloomberg reports…
A viral YouTube video exposing the Audi E5 Sportback’s €40,000 ($47,000) China price tag has ignited outrage among European buyers. Why it matters: German consumers are learning they pay at least double for equivalent Audi EVs built in their own country. The Details By The Numbers EVXL’s Take This viral moment exposes the uncomfortable reality…
