It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times For Electric Car Sales In America Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Everyone expected the bottom to fall out of the new electric car market after the $7,500 federal incentive ended September 30, 2025, but these things have a way of evening out over time. There was a surge in EV sales before the federal incentive ended and a dramatic dropoff afterwards. That’s what’s happened before — in China, in Germany, in the Netherlands, etc. — when countries have eliminated electric car incentives. Governments wouldn’t create incentives if they had no effect on consumers. But a strange thing is happening. EV sales in America are beginning to bounce back — not to the level they were when the federal incentive was available, but better than they were in the months just after the incentive expired. According to Kelley Blue Book estimates, 247,226 EVs were sold in the US in the second quarter of 2026 — up 14.7 percent from Q1. That’s the good news. EV sales were still off 20.5 percent from their peak in Q3 in 2025, but that is a lot better than the 35 percent drop in Q4. If you are “the glass is half full” type of person, that is reason enough to be (somewhat) optimistic about the future of EVs in America. BloombergNEF tells a slightly different story. A few years ago, it projected EV sales in the US would reach nearly 50 percent by 2030. In its latest report, it has revised that number sharply downward to 17 percent. Does that seem dire to you? Patience, grasshopper. Currently, EV sales in the US are at just 5.8 percent, according to Cox Automotive. If BloombergNEF is correct, US electric

Somewhere in Washington state, a man named D.L. Byron recently bought a certified pre-owned Polestar 2. He did what most careful buyers do, researched the brand, appreciated the Scandinavian design, weighed the range and the reputation, and made a considered decision. Then, within days of that purchase, Polestar announced it would stop selling new vehicles in the United States from the 2027 model year onward, after the U.S. Department of Commerce denied the Swedish automaker authorization under the Connected Vehicle Rule. Byron’s reaction, reported by The Verge, was immediate and unambiguous. “It feels like we’re the ones left holding the bag, with no compensation for the sudden loss in market value on cars we just bought or leased.” What Byron experienced is becoming the defining anxiety of the connected-car era. A modern EV purchase comes bundled with software ecosystems, service networks, regulatory standing, and brand-dependent resale value, all of which can shift dramatically on a government decision, a quarterly earnings report, or a geopolitical pressure point that the buyer had no awareness of on signing day. The car itself may run perfectly fine for years. The broader infrastructure that gives it value, the OTA updates, the service continuity, the dealer footprint, and the market confidence of potential used-car buyers, operates on forces that have very little to do with how capable the vehicle actually is. Polestar owners in the U.S. are learning this the hard way, watching resale anxiety arrive before the service network has missed a single appointment, and the lesson extends well beyond this brand and this moment. The Connected Vehicle Rule, finalized by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, targets vehicles with a “sufficient nexus” to China or Russia, covering telematics, cameras, GPS, Bluetooth, cellular modules, and automated driving systems. The software restrictions kick

Here's How Much A 2022 Polestar 2 Has Depreciated In 4 Years The Polestar 2 arrived as Polestar's first true volume EV intended to compete directly against the Tesla Model 3. For 2022, Polestar restructured the lineup around two versions: a front-wheel-drive Single Motor trim and an all-wheel-drive Dual Motor trim. Polestar's own August 2021 pricing announcement set a starting MSRP of $45,900 for the Single Motor and $49,900 for the Dual Motor, before the $1,300 destination charge. Four years on, Kelley Blue Book lists the current private-party values of $19,000 and $21,400 for the Single Motor and Dual Motor trims, respectively. That comes out to a depreciation of $28,200 (roughly 60%) on the Single Motor and $29,800 (58%) on the Dual Motor trim. Edmunds' appraisal tool lands lower still for clean cars, pegging private-party values at $17,387 for the Single Motor and $19,450 for the Dual Motor. Meanwhile, iSeeCars' broader Polestar 2 depreciation study, which isn't split out by model year, shows 46.5% depreciation at three years and 58.1% at five years, both steeper than the 54.5% five-year average for compact luxury EVs. That decline now comes with an added wrinkle: The U.S. has banned Polestar from selling new cars after 2026, citing the Connected Vehicle Rule and Polestar's majority ownership by Chinese automaker Geely. Averaging the three sources — KBB (~59%), Edmunds (~63%), and iSeeCars' average between three- and five-year estimates (52.3%) — puts four-year depreciation at roughly 58%. Applied to sticker prices, that works out to a loss of about $26,600 on the Single Motor and $29,000 on the Dual Motor. So, does that make the 2022 Polestar 2 a good buy today? Why did the 2022 Polestar 2 lose so much value? The depreciation curve on new cars works by shaving about 30% of their as-new

By Raj Kanaya, General Manager, Automotive Business Unit, Aeris The automotive industry is rapidly evolving into a more connected, software-defined future. This shift is creating a new challenge for OEMs as vehicles become increasingly software-led, Cloud-connected and reliant on real-time diagnostics, OTA updates and always-on connectivity. This opens new opportunities to improve driver experiences and accelerate software innovation, but it also creates a more complex environment to manage. A vehicle is no longer a static product that changes only during scheduled service visits; it is part of a wider IoT ecosystem, where data flows continuously between the vehicle, network, Cloud platforms, applications and service providers. For OEMs, the challenge is no longer simply how quickly they can build software into vehicles. It is how effectively they can operate, monitor, update and secure connected vehicles once they are on the road. Connected vehicles are creating a visibility problem Connected vehicle data has huge potential, but only if OEMs can interpret and act on it quickly. When an issue occurs, teams need to understand whether the root cause sits in the vehicle, an IoT device or sensor, SIM profile, mobile network, cloud environment, application layer or a third-party service. At scale, even a small percentage of vehicles failing to connect can create a significant burden, with teams spending days identifying the issue before they can fix it. The problem is not necessarily a lack of data, but that it is fragmented across different systems, partners and operational teams. This is where AI becomes operationally valuable. It can help OEMs move from reactive troubleshooting to more proactive, data-led decision-making. Rather than relying solely on manual alerts, AI can analyse patterns across multiple sources and help teams understand what is happening more quickly. Why OEMs need an AI maturity model The automotive industry already

It could be offered with mild-hybrid and strong hybrid powertrain options. Toyota Kirloskar Motor has several new launches planned including SUVs and MPVs with multiple powertrains. The upcoming lineup will feature the next-generation Hilux, Urban Cruiser Hyryder facelift, a three-row version of the Hyryder and new-gen Toyota Fortuner. The all-new Toyota Hilux is set to go on sale on July 28, 2026, while the remaining models are expected to make their debut by the end of 2026. Earlier this year, the new Toyota three-row premium SUV was spied testing in Ladhak. The model appears to be a longer version of the Toyota Urban Crusier Hyryder, featuring an extended rear overhang and a longer overall length, hinting at the addition of a third row of seats. Spy shots show the presence of the rear axle shafts suggesting the inclusion of Toyota’s AllGrip (AWD – all-wheel drive) system. If offered, the AWD drivetrain system could be reserved for higher trims. The 7-seater Toyota Hyryder is likely to feature a redesigned rear profile with a longer tail section to accommodate the third-row seats. The SUV might also get newly designed front and rear bumpers, larger alloy wheels and a new connected LED taillamp signature. With three-row seating configuration, the Hyryder 7-seater will be a practical option for buyers looking for a family SUV. In terms of features, the SUV is expected to offer an updated infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, enhanced connected car technology, ventilated front seats, Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver

One of the great things about Android Auto is that you're carrying your infotainment system with you wherever you go. If you own more than one car, you don't have to set up two different profiles. Just connect your phone, and the experience follows you. Likewise, if multiple people share a car, it feels like the specific head unit doesn't really matter. It's the phone that sets the stage and handles everything, right? Your head unit is doing more work than you think More than a second screen The head unit is still doing a lot of work when you use Android Auto. It has to display the video stream from your phone, process your touch input, manage the car's audio system, and it has to deal with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. While much of the processing that's going on happens on the phone, since the head unit is acting as the go-between, there's still plenty of opportunity for it to make things worse. Obviously, an inexpensive car with inexpensive head units won't have the same performance, optimization or input quality as a more expensive model. So if the head unit has laggy software or slow hardware, it doesn't matter whether you're rocking the latest flagship or a vending machine burner phone. Why the same phone can perform differently in different cars It's all about what's under the hood If you've ever had to switch cars using the same phone, you've probably noticed that, at some point, it doesn't quite feel the same. For one thing, having different screen shapes and sizes makes a difference to how AA looks and feels. Cheaper units, like the one in my Kia Sportage, use a sluggish touch screen that needs extra effort so that a selection even registers, and the image resolution is pretty

Is Verizon Communications (VZ) Undervalued On Its BMW And KDDI Connected Car Deal? Verizon Communications (VZ) is back in focus after announcing a collaboration with BMW Group and KDDI that embeds Verizon’s 5G and LTE networks as the connectivity layer in all new BMW Group vehicles sold in the United States. See our latest analysis for Verizon Communications. Despite the BMW and KDDI collaboration and other recent alliances with BT Group and Aduna, Verizon Communications’ share price has eased, with a 30 day share price return of 12.45% and a year to date gain of 3.95%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 51.44% points to stronger longer term momentum. If you are interested in how connectivity and infrastructure themes play out beyond Verizon, it could be worth reviewing our screener of AI infrastructure related stocks. You can start with 52 AI infrastructure stocks. After a strong 3 year total shareholder return and a recent pullback, Verizon Communications sits at an interesting crossroads. Is most of the easy upside already reflected in the price, or does the current valuation still leave meaningful room ahead? Most Popular Narrative: 16.6% Undervalued Compared with Verizon Communications’ last close at $42.12, the most followed narrative pegs fair value at $50.50, which frames the current pullback in a different light. Verizon, for instance, had been on my wish list for a very long time, but I kept putting it off due to conflicting reports about the company. At the time (2023), I was able to buy it for approximately $31. Eventually, I did purchase it this week (May 5, 2026) at $47.50 because the company is showing strong figures, including for the coming years. I bought a very small batch, 5 shares.

Listen to this article in summarized format The trend marks the first reality check for carmakers betting on recurring software revenues. According to people familiar with subscription trends across manufacturers, renewal rates at some companies fall below 20% once complimentary subscriptions end, even as automakers continue investing heavily in telematics, cloud platforms and digital services. “The first phase of connected vehicles was engineering, the second phase is customer engagement, and the third phase is monetisation,” said Ravi Bhatia, president, Jato Dynamics. “The carmaker that succeeds won't necessarily be the one with the most connected features, but the one that creates digital services customers value enough to keep using throughout the ownership lifecycle.” Growing Adoption Globally, nearly 350 million connected cars are on the road. They account for about a fourth of cars in India and that number is rising. Between 2022 and 2026, features such as remote vehicle access, remote AC control and battery management, driven largely by electric vehicles, have seen rapid growth. Leading manufacturers including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor India, Tata Motors, Mahindra and others offer connected platforms bundled free for periods ranging from one to four years before customers are asked to pay. While most automakers declined to disclose renewal rates, they maintained that adoption of connected technologies continues to grow. Hyundai, which has more than 832,000 connected vehicles on Indian roads, said just over one in five customers continue with paid Bluelink subscriptions after the complimentary three-year period, underscoring the broader challenge facing the industry. “Bluelink is engineered as a full-stack digital ecosystem,” said Tarun Garg, MD and CEO, Hyundai Motor India. . “Hyundai has taken this a step further with the Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), accelerated by Nvidia, debuting in the new Venue, delivering a more intuitive and future-ready in-car digital experience.” Want a

The next Cadillac Optiq may not be engineered in Michigan. Reuters reported in early July that GM is weighing a Chinese-developed platform called Xiao Yao for the next generation of its smallest electric SUV, in place of the Ultium architecture that underpins the car today. Read quickly, that sounds like a Chinese Cadillac aimed at American driveways. It is close to the opposite. That platform is meant for the Optiq China gets, not the one the United States gets, and GM said so on the record. A company spokesperson told InsideEVs the architecture “will not head to the U.S., and won’t impact the Optiq sold stateside,” and dismissed the underlying report as “speculative.” Two pieces of American law back that up with something firmer than a press statement. So the interesting story here is not a scandal about foreign engineering sneaking into a luxury badge. It is what GM’s decision says about where its EV technology works now, and why the version that works cannot legally cross the Pacific. Key Takeaways - The report is about China, not America. Reuters says the next Optiq for the Chinese market may use the Xiao Yao platform. GM called the report speculative and confirmed the platform will not reach the US. - The US Optiq does not change. The American car keeps its Ultium 85-kWh battery, its 315 to 440 horsepower, its EPA range near 303 to 317 miles, and its assembly line in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. - Two laws wall the Chinese version off. A 100 percent tariff on Chinese-built EVs, in force since September 2024, and a federal connected-vehicle rule that bans Chinese-developed vehicle software starting with the 2027 model year. - The technology arrow reversed. Xiao Yao is the newer, faster-charging 900-volt system. GM is not downgrading to save money.

The model that popularised electric vehicles into the mainstream globally continues to be one of the best a decade on, with some flaws… The Tesla Model 3 was unveiled 10 years ago – an all-electric midsize sedan designed with a more accessible price tag in mind. Released in 2017, it only hit Australia in 2019. An update in 2021 accelerated its sales, helped by price cuts along the way, before receiving a major refresh in late 2024. Now, the latest Model 3 has regained an indicator stalk, added a front bumper camera, introduced matte black badging, and the Long Range has dropped a motor to become the longest range (claimed) mainstream EV in Australia to date. I tested the new Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) for almost two weeks – including a Brisbane to Yamba range test – and it’s clear that it remains one of the best EVs 10 years later. NOTE: The press vehicle was provided by Tesla Australia for an 11-day independent evaluation. Charging and toll costs were covered, but we have no commercial arrangements with the company and it had no editorial control. Pros. + Outstanding energy efficiency + Incredible tech + Premium interior, attention to details + Nimble and compliant drive + Great value Cons. – Optimistic range and charging claims – Uncomfortable high floor, low seats – Weak air vents, no roof sunshade – Awkward sedan tailgate design – Odd super transparent windows Vehicle tested: | Model | 2026 Tesla Model 3 | | Variant | Premium Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive | | Starting price | $61,900 before on-road costs | | Exterior colour | Stealth Grey (+$1800) | | Interior colour | Black and white (+$1500) | | Options | Full Self-Driving (Supervised) (+$149/month) Premium Connectivity (+$13.99/month) Tesla Front and Rear

Hyundai once used to rank second in sales in the Indian market. Of late, it has slipped to the fourth position in overall sales. The Korean carmaker is plotting a strong comeback. It is known to be working on a strong product offensive, a large part of which will launch in the next 18 months. Here is a closer look at what’s coming. Let’s start from the affordable side of things. Hyundai is preparing a small, affordable electric SUV that will sit below the Creta Electric when launched. It will compete with models like the Tata Punch.EV when launched. This product is currently codenamed HE1i and has already been spotted testing in India. This signals that the launch may not be too far away. It is, in fact, expected to be out sometime this calendar year. The HE1i will have a boxy design with split headlamps, roof rails, and aero-optimised alloy wheels. It will be small but have a rugged appearance overall. Hyundai will base this EV on the E-GMP (K) platform. Two battery packs will most likely be offered- 42 kWh and 49 kWh. Power output is likely to be around 97 bhp and 115 bhp, respectively. These batteries will likely have claimed range figures of 300 to 350 km. The HE1i electric SUV will have features like dual 10.25-inch screens, ventilated seats, wireless charging, sunroof, 360-degree camera, and more. Pricing could fall in the Rs 10-15 lakh bracket. The Bayon is another expected launch. Expected to be out in late 2026 or early 2027, it will slot between the Venue and Creta in Hyundai’s domestic lineup. It will likely measure around 4.2 metres in length and will have a modern, SUV-like design. This SUV will have a modern, tech-packed cabin. It will come with features like dual 12.3-inch

When Matthew Smith took his five-year-old son to a World Cup game in the Los Angeles area earlier this month, they opted to take public transit instead of driving from their nearby coastal city. It was Smith's first time on the LA Metro in a decade, and the experience exceeded his expectations. "Seems like a very functioning transit system, which is somewhat surprising given its reputation," he said. That is the reaction Metro officials were hoping for as they used the 2026 FIFA World Cup's eight LA games to introduce — or reintroduce — people to the region's public transit system, often an afterthought in car-centric Los Angeles. It is an early test run of sorts for the 2028 Olympics, which organizers have billed as a "no car" Games where there will be no parking for attendees at any of the venues. Spectators will have to rely on transit and shuttles to get to events. Nearly 50,000 rides were taken on rail lines for the July 2 Spain-Austria game that Smith and his son attended. There is no train that runs directly to SoFi Stadium in the LA suburb of Inglewood, but Metro has added 15 shuttle lines to transport people there from major rail stations and transit centers — the farthest route taking one hour and 15 minutes. More than 30,000 rides were taken on those shuttles for that game alone, the agency said. The Metro will take a similar approach for the Olympics because many venues don't connect directly to the system. For the World Cup, the agency borrowed about 200 buses to meet the increased demand. Officials have said they will need to borrow 3,000 buses for the Olympics. Officials work to overcome safety fears For many residents, public transit isn't baked into everyday life in Los

Polestar’s American road is narrowing fast. The Swedish electric vehicle maker will no longer be able to sell new vehicles in the United States from model year 2027 onward after the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security declined to grant the company authorization under the Connected Vehicle Rule. The decision does not mean every Polestar in the country suddenly disappears from showrooms or service bays. Polestar says it will keep selling existing U.S. stock of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 and will continue supporting customers through its service network, but the bigger message is hard to miss (software, data, and ownership are now just as important as range and charging speed). Why Polestar was blocked At the center of the fight is the Connected Vehicle Rule, a U.S. policy aimed at keeping certain China-linked and Russia-linked vehicle software and hardware out of American passenger vehicles. The Commerce Department says the rule is about national security, because modern cars can collect sensitive data and connect to the outside world through systems such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, satellite, and telematics modules. In practical terms, that means a car is no longer judged only by where its tires touch the road. The rule can also look at who controls the manufacturer, where important software is designed or maintained, and whether a company has a “sufficient nexus” to China or Russia. That is where Polestar ran into trouble. Polestar is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, but it is majority-owned by China’s Geely Holding, a detail that put the brand directly in the path of U.S. scrutiny. The 2027 deadline matters The key date is model year 2027. Under the Commerce Department’s rule, software-related prohibitions take effect for model year 2027, while hardware-related restrictions arrive later, for model year 2030 or January

- Expected to be offered with both the 42kWh and 51.4kWh battery packs - Likely to be launched in India this month The Kia Syros EV has been spied undisguised ahead of its debut later this month. As expected, it looks exactly like the ICE Syros right down to the 17-inch wheels. The charging flap is on the front left of the vehicle. This car appears to even be painted in the same Ivory silver matte paint scheme that is offered with the ICE Syros. Even at the rear, you can see the tail lamps positioned exactly where they are on the ICE model. While the interiors are not properly visible, we can see the dual-tone paint scheme, and given the exterior, we expect the same to be carried over on the inside too. The fully-loaded ICE Syros offers climate control, dual digital screens, connected car technology, LED light package, ventilated and sliding second row. In addition to all of this we also expect the EV to bring back a 360 camera package, level 2 ADAS and probably V2L as a hero feature. Initially, ir expected Kia to only offer the 42kW battery pack, but now we also expect them to offer the 51.4kW battery pack. The latter might seem like an expensive and rather big proposition for a car of this size, but Kia needs every advantage it can take with Syros, and if this one will work in its favour in terms of offering a high range then Kia should add it on without hesitating. We expect the 51.4kW pack to only be offered on the fully loaded top-spec models. Pricing is expected to be in the range of Rs. 14 lakh to Rs. 20 lakh, and it will take on cars like the Tata Nexon EV, Mahindra

Given that Android Auto is a notable topic I cover at XDA, I often mess around with various settings and forget to revert them to how I actually use my phone with the in-car infotainment system. At the same time, I'm almost always testing different Android phones and frequently need to adjust a few specific settings before connecting a device to my car for the first time. Whether I'm optimizing the experience, cutting down on distractions, or simply restoring my preferred setup, I always change these Android Auto settings right away on every Android device. Start Android Auto automatically Avoid that pesky lock screen To ensure the smoothest possible initial connection to wired Android Auto, I always change my Pixel 10 Pro's USB Default Connection Behavior from Default to Always (you have to do this for every vehicle). With this setting on, Android Auto boots up immediately. On top of this, I also set my Android device to skip the lock screen and start music automatically when I connect it to Android Auto. To do that, I follow these steps: - Open the Settings app - Head to Connected Devices > Connection Preferences > Android Auto. - Scroll down to the Startup subsection. - Turn on Start Android Auto While Locked and Start Music Automatically. - Next, tap on Start Android Auto Automatically and select Always. Get rid of those pesky message notifications When I'm behind the wheel, I want to concentrate on the road When I'm driving, I want to have as few distractions around me as possible. With that in mind, one of the first settings I change on my Android device is turning off message notifications entirely. My passengers don't need to read or hear my texts, and I don't want to be distracted by them either.
