Honda revealed its new 2012 Civic Si coupe and sedan concepts at the 2011 Detroit Motor Show. The re-design of what will be the ninth generation of the Civic will make the car smaller, lighter and more efficient. The new design offers a bolder, sleeker appearance than past Civics, yet still retains the style of earlier models. Buyers will have plenty of options when the new line of Civic becomes available in the spring. Along with the conventional sedan and coupe models, Honda will also offer “Si” performance versions along with hybrid and natural-gas variants. Hybrids will feature a new lithium-ion battery cell, and gasoline models will use Eco-Assist to help less-efficient drivers get better fuel economy.

Check out the video below to see Honda’s unveiling of the new Civic at this year’s Detroit Motor Show.

The beloved Citroen 2CV is getting an EV reboot

Affordable EVs have become weirdly hard to find. But Citroën is reaching deep into its own history for a fix. The company has recently confirmed that the beloved Citroën 2CV is coming back as a fully electric car, more than three decades after the original ended production. Citroën CEO Xavier Chardon announced the revival at a Stellantis investor event in Michigan, saying the new 2CV will be 100% electric, built in Europe, and priced below €15,000, or about $17,400.

Xiaomi's cheapest YU7 yet offers more range than a Tesla Model Y at a meaningfully lower price.
Transportation, Vehicle, Car

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had a straightforward reason for why the YU7 wasn't outselling the Tesla Model Y in China: the base model wasn't cheap enough. 

At just 10,000 yuan ($1,450) less than Tesla’s Model Y, the price gap simply wasn't compelling enough. On the evening of May 21, at Xiaomi's "Human x Car x Home" launch event, Lei did something about it (via CarNewsChina).

EV Charger

Chinese researchers claim a new solid-state battery can survive ultra-fast charging while delivering dramatically higher energy density, potentially reshaping the future of electric vehicles. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences claim they have developed a new solid-state lithium-metal battery capable of delivering extremely high energy density while surviving ultra-fast charging conditions - a combination the global EV industry has been chasing for years.

According to the research paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the prototype battery achieved an energy density of 451.5 Wh/kg while maintaining stable cycling performance for 700 charge cycles under a 20C charging rate. In practical terms, that theoretically translates to charging and discharging in roughly three minutes.
