Another electric hypercar? Oh, go on then. Karma Automotive is unleashing its 1,000-hp Kaveya at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It's a silent, carbon-fiber missile with butterfly doors and a $375,000 price tag. They say it's "ultra-luxury," which I assume means it comes with a solid gold charging cable.
Cadillac built an EV that costs more than a house. It's called the Celestiq, and for a cool $350,000+, you get a hand-built, 655-hp land yacht with a TV screen bigger than my future. Silent, swift, and spectacularly expensive.
A four-door electric sedan from a phone company just lapped the Nürburgring faster than many purpose-built hypercars. Xiaomi's 1,527-hp SU7 is rewriting the rules of speed, and now they're selling a version with a roll cage instead of rear seats. The future is weird.
Ever wondered what happens when the mad scientists at Mercedes-AMG swap their V8 thunder for high-voltage lightning? You get this: the Concept GT XX. A 1,341-horsepower, 220-mph electric missile that charges faster than your phone. It has pancake-sized motors, a battery cooler than a polar bear's toenails, and enough tech to make a spaceship jealous.
So, you thought 1,914 horsepower was enough? You sweet, summer child. Rimac decided its "tame" Nevera needed a bit more spice, so they created the Nevera R with a casual 2,107 horsepower. This Croatian rocket ship doesn’t just accelerate; it rearranges your understanding of physics for a cool $2.5 million.
Polestar’s slinky SUV coupé, the Polestar 4, just waltzed into Italy and snatched the Mille Miglia Green trophy. While classic cars made all the noise, this Swedish electric marvel, driven by a dashing Italian duo, quietly glided to victory. It seems Polestar has a thing for Italian silverware.
The artisans at Lunaz have taken a classic Rolls-Royce Phantom V, a car already quieter than a mime in a padded cell, and made it electric. It’s the fulfillment of Charles Rolls’ 125-year-old dream, a silent, 400-horsepower land yacht with a cocktail bar and a price tag that will make your monocle pop out. Is it magnificent? Absolutely. Is it wonderfully absurd? You bet your bespoke luggage it is.
Ford built a 1,400-hp electric monster designed to conquer the Pikes Peak mountain with more downforce than sense. They hired the best driver on Earth to pilot their "Super Mustang Mach-E," a car that looks nothing like a Mach-E. So what happened? The weather had other ideas.
Someone at Cadillac must have had way too much coffee. They took their sensible, entry-level Optiq EV and, while no one was looking, crammed it with up to 440 horsepower. They also gave it a Tesla-friendly charging port and a cruise control system that understands you might want to go five over the speed limit.
Amazon's Zoox robotaxi is here! It's a toaster on wheels with no steering wheel, designed to be your new chauffeur. Bizarre, brilliant, and slightly terrifying glimpse into our driverless future. Is this communal pod the next big thing or a sci-fi experiment waiting for a punchline? All aboard!
Volkswagen just dropped the mic with its adorable, self-driving ID. Buzz robotaxi. It’s a complete ride-sharing business in a cute, electric box, coming soon to an Uber near you. While others promise, VW delivers a Level 4 autonomous van that’s more charming than your average chauffeur. The future is officially here, and it’s surprisingly groovy. All aboard!
They did what now? They took a classic Land Rover Defender - a machine powered by noise and mud - and made it electric. And not just any electric. They put the motors in the wheels. The result? Nearly 500 horsepower, enough torque to restart a dead planet, and a 153-mile range that’s perfect for a trip to your mailbox. It’s silent, it’s brilliant, it’s coming to America, and you’ll almost certainly need to sell your house to afford one.
Behold the Aptera! The three-wheeled wonder that promises free miles from the sun, assuming you live on a desert island and your commute involves rotating in your driveway. After more delays than a DMV queue, this solar sensation is finally ready to show its bizarre, aerodynamic face. Get ready to never plug in again…
Ever wondered what happens when a Mustang gets a caffeine IV drip and learns to fly? Ford's latest electric Pikes Peak monster, the Super Mustang Mach-E, is here to show us, boasting 1,421 horsepower and enough downforce to flatten a small car. It's so fast, it might just achieve orbit!
The beloved Nissan Leaf has ditched its "ugly duckling" hatchback phase and emerged as a rather snazzy electric SUV! With sleek new looks, a more powerful motor, and a bigger battery offering over 300 miles of range, it's finally ready to turn heads.
Honda’s new Super EV Concept is the electric hero we didn’t know we needed. It’s a tiny, pug-faced hatchback with flared wheel arches and the personality of a caffeinated Jack Russell terrier. If Honda can give it a decent range and a sane price, this little electric toaster might just conquer the world. Or at least, the nearest parking space.
Porsche got tired of other EVs stealing its lunch money, so it sent the 1,019 hp Taycan Turbo GT to Road Atlanta. It proceeded to absolutely demolish the old record, mostly to prove a point. The car is brilliant, a little bit crazy, and has officially made the EV playground interesting again. It also costs more than an average house.
The new Bugatti Tourbillon is a hybrid, which almost made me cry. Then I learned it’s a hybrid unlike any before it. It has a monstrous, naturally-aspirated V16 engine, but now it’s got three electric motors for a total of 1,800 horsepower. It’s lighter, faster, and more wonderfully absurd than ever. And I absolutely love it.
Peugeot just gatecrashed VW's electric GTI party with the feisty E-208 GTI. It's faster to 60 mph than a Mini JCW and stuffed with design nods to the legendary 205 GTI. With a range that would make a homing pigeon nervous and a price tag of around $46,000 - is this just a very short-range toy? The French have thrown down the gauntlet, and it's covered in red stitching.
Hyundai gave a 641-horsepower electric sedan a massive wing and then had the gall to call it a "Corner Rascal." A rascal? That's not a marketing term; it's what you call a naughty puppy. And I love it. Hyundai's Ioniq 6 N isn't just another silent appliance; it's a tire-smoking, hooligan machine that might just be the most exciting EV yet.
My world is shaken. A phone company just built the fastest sedan on Earth. The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra lapped the Nürburgring faster than a $2M Rimac and a Porsche Taycan GT. With 1,548 hp and a 0-62 time of 1.98 seconds, it’s not a car - it's a teleportation device with a warranty. The old guard of supercars has officially been put on notice by the same people who make your fitness tracker.
Toyota built my dream electric SUV! It's gorgeous, smart, and costs less than a year of college. It has lie-flat seats for when you faint at the price. The catch? It's only for China. I'm not crying, you're crying. Let's look at the amazing EV we can't have. It's the best kind of torture.
Tired of boring EVs? A New York startup is building a $500,000 electric car with 800 horsepower, a wooden hood, and an interior you can change with the seasons. Oh, and it has an optional bonsai tree growing in the center console. This gloriously weird, half-million-dollar statement makes every other luxury EV look painfully sensible. I desperately hope they actually build it.
A phone company actually built the 1,548-horsepower Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. For real. This road-legal electric sedan boasts a 1.98-second 0-62 mph time and is now the first Chinese car in Gran Turismo 7. It's a glorious, unhinged, and absolutely brilliant moment for the car world. The fantasy is real, and you can drive it on your PlayStation.
Cadillac's new baby, the Optiq-V, is here to crash the electric party. It's got 519 horsepower to embarrass sports cars and a NACS port to finally make friends with Tesla. It’s a bit hefty and the range is... "adequate," but it promises to be a "canyon carver" in a cocktail dress. Can this Caddy dance?
An American EV startup is launching its 1,100-hp, 200-mph electric crossover… in Germany. Yes, really. The Mullen FIVE RS plans to take on the autobahn before it ever sees a US highway. It’s a plan so bonkers you have to admire it. With serious German engineering partners and hypercar-level specs, this might just be the most brilliantly absurd automotive story of the decade. I’m hooked.
Tired of EV charging times longer than a Game of Thrones wedding? A UK firm claims their new hypercar battery, the VarEVolt, charges in just 18 SECONDS. It's got the 'world's highest power density,' can unleash fury in hypercars, and might just make your kettle jealous. Is it witchcraft or the future?
Pininfarina's 95th bash? A one-off, $3M+ electric Battista Novantacinque! 1900 hp, 0-62 in 1.89s, and enough gold to make a pharaoh blush. It’s a glorious, red-tinted carbon fiber rocket. Perfect in every sense. My kind of sensible!
China's done it again! Geely's Galaxy A7 PHEV: a sedan so boringly sensible it's brilliant. Claims over 1,300 miles of range for about $14,000! Is it real or a tech daydream? This Camry-lookalike packs enough total mileage to make your bladder nervous. If true, it’s a game-changer, even if it never leaves China.
The electric Mercedes G-Wagen, the G580 with EQ Technology, is flopping harder than a fish on a hot pavement. Shocking, I know! With sales figures that'd make an accountant weep, a pathetic 239-mile range for $161,500, and a tow rating that's basically a joke, it seems even icons aren't immune to a badly executed idea.
Mumbai's got itself some "flying boats" – silent, smooth, and electric. Candela P-12 ferries lift out of the water like a magic trick, promising to slash commute times and make you actually enjoy your ride. Who needs roads when you can soar above the waves?
Tired of noisy, smelly ferries? Viking Line is building a giant electric one called Helios. It's the size of two football fields, carries a whole town, and needs a plug the size of a small planet. They say it's the future of sea travel. I say, I'll believe it when I'm silently gliding across the Baltic with a drink in my hand.
Tired of noisy, smelly diesel engines ruining your sunset cocktail? The new Oceanwalker S60e promises silent, solar-powered bliss. Well, mostly. This 60-foot electric catamaran has a top speed of 12 knots, a fancy solar array, and a pair of diesel generators for when the sun gets shy. It’s the future of yachting with a very clever, and very necessary, asterisk.
Finally, an electric outboard I can actually lift without pulling a muscle! The RemigoOne: Slovenian chic for your dinghy. 1000W of silent power, a battery that goes the distance (if you behave), and now a remote so you can captain from your throne. It’s not cheap, but neither is therapy after wrestling a heavy, smelly old motor.
A Swedish electric boat didn't just sail from Europe to Africa, it practically flew on hydrofoils, using just $9 of juice! While the gas-guzzler chase boat choked on $100+ in fuel, this golden-foiled wonder proved electric is ready for the high seas & maybe, just maybe, my next vacation. Less fume, more zoom!
Electric boat racing with A-listers like Will Smith & Tom Brady? E1's RaceBirds are carbon foilers hitting 57 mph on water! Silent, speedy, and a bit bonkers. With a billion-dollar dream and celebs sometimes showing up, will this 'lifestyle' sport actually float, or is it just another wonderfully daft way to get wet?
Arc's new electric boat is here! Called the "Coast," probably because it's less scary for your wallet than their previous ones. It's a center console, meaning the driver's bit is in the middle. It's got 400hp, hits 50mph, and seats 10. And the price?
Silent Yachts' SY80 is an 80-foot palace that runs on sunshine, hopes, and dreams. It goes about as fast as a determined snail but is silent, luxurious, and fits up to twelve guests. Just try not to get lost in its interior. Price? If you have to ask...
You could buy a small country instead of this boat, but at least you can silently outrun the local ducks in style. This ENVGO NV1 hydrofoil promises 50 mph of pure, electron-powered lake terror. It even has a sky pylon for your water-skiing shenanigans. And if you fall asleep at the wheel – it will navigate itself, just so you know.
Electric jet ski alert! E-Dolphin's S300: silent, speedy, charges faster than you can say "dolphinately cool." Pricey, but saves the planet, and maybe our ears. Lifetime warranty for early birds! But the admission price is the sticky point…
Tasmania's built a 425-foot electric ferry with a 250-tonne battery! That's like strapping a blue whale convention to a cruise ship. The shopping space is bigger than any before. I foresee seasick shoppers and very long extension cords.
Sunreef's new solar skin uses AI. So now even the sun is smarter than me. At least my boat won't run out of juice... probably. Millions of dollars for a floating solar farm? My old rubber duck looks rather inadequate now.

Forget your average, leisurely cruises. The latest creation from the brilliant minds at U-Boat Worx is the underwater equivalent of a Ferrari.

Porsche's gone off the deep end! Their new electric boat is basically a floating Macan Turbo with a $600k price tag. At least it comes with underwater lights...

Remember X Shore? They've just launched the Bowrider, a revamped version of their X Shore 1, designed for those who like their nautical adventures with a side of socializing and sunshine.
A house with sea legs? This futuristic floating home, the Arkup 50, has it all: solar panels, a hot tub, and even retractable legs to lift it above the waves. But don't pack your bags for a round-the-world cruise just yet, this "livable yacht" is more of a stationary floating condo.

Remember when mopeds were cute, slow things? Well, ONYX Motors didn't get the memo. Their new RCR 80V is a "moped" that hits 65 mph and accelerates faster than your last bad decision.

Production of Zero XE and Zero XB is already underway, with the first affordable electric two-wheelers rolling off the assembly line as we speak. European customers are probably itching to get their hands on one, but the U.S. riders can only watch from afar for now.

The Indian scooter darling went from hero to zero with wobbly wheels, shocking financials, and one famously fiery dealership. With industry sharks circling, Ola is trying to fix its scooter saga while launching new bikes. It’s a hot mess.
SONDORS, the e-bike brand famous for its financial acrobatics & "almost-delivery" awards, is back. Storm Sondors is pre-selling the new Meta AT off-roader. Will it be electric dreams or déjà vu nightmares? My advice? Grab some popcorn, 'cause this sequel is gonna be something!
Bakcou, the e-bike folks for hunters, just dropped the Puma X22 SD motorcycle. 22kW peak, 627 lb-ft of torque (yeehaw!), 77mph top speed, and it arrives IN A BOX.

Royal Enfield's electric Flying Flea bikes are zipping our way early 2026! They're small, they're cute, they're aimed at city folk, and they have a fun name. What about specs? Range? Price? Apparently, that's a surprise! But hey, at least we have a date...ish…

Škoda's gone all hipster on us with an electric café racer concept! From sensible saloons to this two-wheeled spark plug? They're digging into their 1899 roots, and it's surprisingly swanky. Specs are secret squirrel, but the intent is clear: Škoda might just ditch four wheels for two.
Honda turned a Pokémon into a motorbike. It even pulls faces! No word on top speed, but imagine the school run. Self-balancing too, so no embarrassing driveway spills. My inner child is doing cartwheels, my adult self is just deeply amused. What will they think of next? A Snorlax-shaped campervan? I'd buy it.

Archer's Midnight eVTOL, the five-seat electric air taxi of our dreams, has finally flown with a pilot! The only catch? This marvel of Vertical Take-Off and Landing technology took off from a runway. Like a regular plane. While they say it was to test the landing gear, I say it's because even futuristic machines need to learn to walk before they can run.
Electric planes in NYC! BETA Technologies flew their ALIA CTOL into JFK with actual passengers. 50ft wingspan, 287-mile range, carries 5 plus pilot, and sips electrons for just $18/hr. Is this the future, or just a fancy way to scare pigeons quietly?

The government's even thrown in $25 million to make these electric sky-hoppers a thing by 2028. My inner skeptic is doing aerial acrobatics!
Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 uses fans in the wings to take off vertically, then flies like a normal plane. It even charges its batteries mid-flight using a gas turbine.

Jetson's ONE: a flying lawnmower for the rich and brave. Or, maybe, the rich and slightly insane. Twenty minutes of flight time? That's enough to get to the hospital if something goes wrong. And trust me, it might.
Hydrogen earrings? Yeah, this plane’s got ‘em. Six tanks, electric jet turbines, and enough power to make your hair do a jig at 26,000 feet. Plus, it’s quieter than your mother-in-law’s whisper.
Electra EL9 might be a plane that takes off slower than my morning coffee, but it's got $9 billion in pre-orders! Turns out, slow and quiet is the new fast and loud.
Traffic got you down? Joby's flying taxis will whisk you to the airport in minutes! Forget road rage, say hello to sky-high speeds. Prepare for a commute that's more 'whoosh' than 'ugh'!

Flying boat? Electric plane? Hydrofoil hybrid? Whatever it is, Regent's Viceroy just flew with passengers! 180 mph, 180 miles, and zero fumes. Who needs roads when you can glide on water?
Giant electric blimp? 32 motors? Me thinks it's bonkers, but hey, maybe it'll fly. Or maybe it'll just be a really big, expensive balloon. Either way, it's going to be a spectacle!
Flying cars! Remember the Jetsons? Well, Alef Aeronautics says the future is now. They've unveiled their Model A, a flying car that hops over other cars before taking flight. Is it real or CGI? I'm skeptical. 3,300 pre-orders? People are brave. Or maybe just rich.
Seaplanes are back, baby! And they're electric! This ain't your granddaddy's flying boat. The Polaris, a hybrid-electric amphibian, is set to revolutionize island hopping. With 85% better fuel efficiency and a quiet takeoff, it's like a Tesla that can land on water. Get ready to make a splash!
