Dodge goes loud-and-proud with its electric muscle car. Tesla tops a study of the charging experience. Acura shows how its design draws out in EVs. Evidence mounts for BMW shifting its battery strategy. And we distill the list of eligible vehicles for the EV tax credit down to a very few. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. 

The IRS has issued some guidance on the revamped EV tax credit, now called the Clean Vehicle Credit, that was ushered in with President Biden’s signing of the Inflation Reduction Act Tuesday. With the cap for Tesla and GM not lifted until 2023 and North American assembly mandatory, you can buy an EV and claim the credit in 2022, but it’s a very short list of eligible vehicles.

The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT electric muscle-car concept revealed Wednesday is the anti-Tesla in some respects, with a retro look, a multi-speed transmission, and an “exhaust” that will make screaming-loud (and “bone-shaking”) noises to those outside. This is a new kind of EV, for sure. 

Does a new deal with China’s EVE Energy point to BMW’s broad shift toward cylindrical cells in its upcoming mass-market EVs due in 2025? A report suggests so—and larger-format cells like Tesla’s 4680 may be part of it. 

Tesla’s Supercharger network again topped J.D. Power’s study of the satisfaction with the charging experience once again—both in terms of road-trip fast-charging and its Level 2 Destination charging. But Power noted this year that there was growing dissatisfaction with charger reliability across the study. 

And Acura pointed to the design future of its brand—and a 2024 production EV—as it shifts to EVs, with the Precision EV Concept. It suggests a duality in design that channels F1 racing inside when driven and is calm and soothing for automated driving.

The tri-motor Air Sapphire could beat the Tesla Model S Plaid in nearly every performance metric. And versus other Airs, it sacrifices no interior or cargo space.

The Ford Mustang is going fully electric—in a few years. BMW is looking at four-motor electric M performance cars. Lincoln looked in the far-off future with a fresh concept. And Acura is calling its EV the ZDX. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. BMW announced that it’s testing a...

Two motors power each axle, meaning each wheel gets its own individual motor, in a special BMW i4 M50 development mule.

The Ford Mustang Hybrid was originally announced in 2017 and was slated to debut in 2020 on the current-generation Mustang platform.

Lincoln's radical design statement shows what an autonomous electric vehicle from the brand might look like.

It also confirmed upcoming Type S performance variants of the ZDX that “will continue to put the driver experience first in the electrified future.”

EVs are coming to the Acura brand, and the Precision EV Concept shows the shape of them—wrapped in an entirely new interface for the automated-driving era.

The survey giant also noted that charging-hardware reliability is becoming an issue, with an increasing portion of respondents pointing to malfunctioning equipment.

EVE has signed contracts to be BMW's primary supplier of battery cells in Europe for a new line of EVs debuting in 2025, according to the report.

The Charger Daytona SRT has retro styling, a multi-speed transmission, and "bone shaking" fake exhaust sounds that electrify the classic muscle car. It's fair to say Tesla and Lucid fans aren't the target buyer.
