CATL unveiled its Shenxing Pro battery at IAA Munich, offering up to 470 miles of range, 10-minute fast charging, and durability exceeding 600,000 miles. With two tailored packs and major European investments, CATL is pushing Chinese battery tech to the forefront of the EV market.

GM, EVgo, and Pilot Company have installed around 850 DC fast chargers at over 200 Pilot and Flying J stations across nearly 40 states. The new sites feature 350kW EVgo stalls with amenities like Wi-Fi, dining, lighting, and pull-through bays for trailers. With support for Plug-and-Charge, the network aims to reach 2,000 stalls at up to 500 locations, with 1,000 expected by the end of 2025.

The Audi Concept C showcases a bold new design era with radical simplicity, sleek proportions, and no rear window. Likely previewing an EV sports car to rival Porsche’s 718 EV and Tesla’s elusive Roadster, it signals Audi’s return to design leadership with electric performance at its core.

Hyundai unveiled the Concept Three, a compact EV previewing the future Ioniq 3. Positioned between the Inster and Ioniq 5, it features pixelated lighting, eco-friendly materials, and futuristic design. Expected to share Kia EV3’s battery options, it could deliver up to 375 miles of range when it reaches production.

The 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning STX replaces the XLT with 290 miles of range, 536 hp, and rugged upgrades. Priced at $65,540, it delivers more value without a price increase, making it one of the most compelling trims in Ford’s electric truck lineup.

Tesla is now selling Superchargers directly to businesses, letting them create branded charging hubs. While upfront costs are high, the real value lies in boosting customer traffic and positioning Tesla as a charging infrastructure leader.

The 2026 Nissan LEAF S will debut at just $25,360, making it one of the cheapest EVs on the market. That’s $4,630 less than the S+ trim and over $2,700 cheaper than the 2025 model. With a 52 kWh battery and 174 horsepower, range remains to be confirmed, but Nissan is already positioned as the first automaker to deliver a $25k EV, a milestone long promised by Tesla but never realized.

Porsche owners now have access to nearly 30,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America using a new NACS adapter. The soft launch starts September 9, with Tesla app activation first, while Porsche app integration and plug-and-charge will roll out in the coming months.

The 2027 Chevy Bolt brings NACS charging, an LFP battery, and sub-$30K pricing to the EV market. But GM is limiting production as it braces for slower demand after the end of federal tax credits.
