Mini Electric will shortly arrive in Australia with a driveaway price and some extra goodies for the early adopters. You wouldn’t know it, but this isn’t the first Mini in the country that can move under its own electric power. The Mini Countryman PHEV holds that distinction. The

In what appears to be an act of automotive parkour, the new Range Rover PHEV has climbed to China’s Dragon’s Road and then on to Heaven’s Gate. All 99 turns and 999 steps including a 45-degree incline to get there. That’s…well, it’s slightly nuts.
Jaguar Announces I-PACE eTrophy The all-electric I-Pace hasn’t hit the roads yet, but already Jaguar has announced the i-Pace eTrophy.
