The Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid beats the RAV4 Prime in terms of affordability. BMW is suspending the race for more electric car range suitable for the masses. And there is controversy over how unions are topped up under the EV tax credit. We’ll help you break down why. This and more here at Green Car Reports.
A revised version of the federal electric vehicle tax credit that raises the 200,000 limit that kept Tesla and GM away and offers up to $ 12,500 per vehicle still has a good chance of winning as part of the $ 3.5 trillion Expense statement to be accepted. But it has created a source of controversy – and disapproval from some automakers – about the bonus amounts that apply to unionized vehicles. We’ve explored some of the key differences between the House and Senate versions that find their way through Capitol Hill.
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid doesn’t quite match the Toyota RAV4 Prime in terms of acceleration, electric miles, or mpg, but it undercuts the Toyota on price.
Do mainstream electric vehicles need a range of 400 or even 500 miles? A BMW manager behind the i4 recently pointed out that BMW doesn’t think that way. The German automaker reportedly limits its EV mileage to 372 miles – in one of the more optimistic driving cycles, which is much closer to 300 miles EPA.
And over at Motor Authority: The development of a fully electric version of the Porsche 718 sports car continues. According to external sources, this could mean that Cayman coupe and Boxster convertible models hit the market as early as model year 2025.
