This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending March 24, 2023. You’ll find plenty of firsthand reviews here on how…

Ford on Friday confirmed the project name for its next-generation electric truck: Project T3. Short for “Trust The Truck,” the project aims to create a truck that’s “fully updatable, constantly improving, and supports towing, hauling, exportable power and endless new innovations owners will want,” according to a press…

The flashy Qiantu K50 that looked like a Chinese rival to the Tesla Roadster is back with a U.S. plan. In-wheel motors make their debut in a passenger car. And the Q4 E-Tron leaves us underwhelmed. This and more, here at Green Car Reports A follow-up test drive of the 2023 Audi Q4 E-Tron electric SUV left our resident Audi fan underwhelmed and…

Instead, this affordable model from Stellantis’ bad-boy brand has a clear priority: performance. Even if it’s nothing close to the noise-making electric muscle car Dodge is to…

Mexico will soon build large numbers of EVs, but most will go north to the U.S. rather than being sold domestically. The reason behind it isn’t a culture clash or a lack of concern for the environment. It’s a matter of economics and practicality.
