VW has confirmed their I.D. range will start production in 2019. The pure electric EV platform will have a 250-350 mile range, a quick 0-60 time thanks and a 125kW motor. They aim to make 100,000 per year from 2020.

The New Nissan LEAF wins Kelley Blue Book award for lowest ‘5 Year Cost To Own’.

In India, where the Auto Expo 2018 is in progress, Tata Motors have unveiled two electrified models from their existing range. It’s the first steps Tata has made towards an electrified future.

And finally, another fast charging network is coming to Europe with the backing of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance.
