Ford and Tesla tie up for charging. Tesla leads different EVs in miles pushed. Hyundai lease costs undercut Tesla. And Hyundai plans for lots of batteries for U.S.-built EVs. This and extra, right here at Inexperienced Automotive Studies. 

Thursday, Ford and Tesla made an announcement that may change the EV charging panorama eternally: Ford is adopting Tesla’s charge port for future EVs, in addition to offering Supercharger entry with an adapter for current EVs beginning subsequent yr.
