Hyundai Backtracks on All-Electric Factory Commitment, Polestar Experiments with New Battery Technology at Charging Stations, Federal Experts Explore Improvements in Fast-Charging Dependability, and an EV with Saab Heritage Could Be Manufactured in Italy. Catch all these stories and more at Green Car Reports.
Last week, Hyundai announced that its Metaplant in Georgia, originally planned as an exclusive facility for electric vehicles, will now also include the production of additional hybrid models in the U.S. This move is aimed at broadening the variety of hybrid options available within its lineup of gasoline-powered vehicles.
Polestar has announced that using StoreDot’s „silicon-dominant“ battery cells, they have developed a prototype electric vehicle that can charge from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes.
