Are electric cars safer than internal combustion engine cars? The Australian Collision Safety Agency has
It turns out that one is statistically safer than the other—but not more secure, and there are several reasons for that go through Sam D. Smith January 23, 2025 18:15 Figures from ANCAP show that electric cars score proportionally higher than those with internal combustion engines. However, the difference between the two is not large and is affected by other factors. ANCAP's rationale is that most electric cars are newer and will also be more expensive than internal combustion engine cars. If you're on the fence about choosing your next new car, safety may be an important consideration. If you're considering switching from an internal combustion engine to an electric vehicle, you may be wondering how much safer (or riskier) an electric vehicle is than an internal combustion engine vehicle. That's the question the folks at ANCAP (Australian New Car Assessment Program) have tried to answer, and the results may be surprising. Based on its own crash test data, ANCAP…
Kia Sorento headlights and taillights may fail, recalled
Kia is recalling 75,000 Sorento, Sorento Hybrid and Sorento plug-in hybrid vehicles due to a software issue. January 19, 2025 — The Kia Sorento recall involves about 75,000 vehicles that may lose low-beam and taillights due to a software issue. The recalled models include 2024-2025 Kia Sorento, 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid and 2025 Kia Sorento plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Kia said the culprit in the crash was a software error in the body domain control unit. On January 7, Kia decided to recall the Sorento in South Korea due to a software problem that caused "exterior/interior lighting to temporarily disappear while driving." Kia searched the U.S. Kia Sorento and found no complaints about low-beam headlight or taillight issues, but if they occur, the issues could be dangerous. Kia has not seen any reports of crashes or injuries, but decided to recall the Sorento to prevent problems. Kia Sorento dealers will update the software once the Sorento recall letter is mailed…

Electric vehicles could be as expensive as internal combustion engine vehicles by 2026, says New
A new survey from BloombergNEF reports that battery packs have fallen the most since 2017. Cheaper battery packs mean electric cars should become cheaper and on par with internal combustion engine cars. Forecasts will still depend on EV adoption and global EV policies. Lithium battery prices have plummeted, recording their steepest decline in seven years, a new study shows. The need for cheaper batteries is often cited as a way to accelerate adoption, with experts waiting for EVs to reach price parity with their gasoline-powered counterparts. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); Lithium-ion battery pack prices have fallen sharply due to an oversupply of batteries and falling prices for raw materials and other components used in the manufacturing process.

Electric Vehicles vs. Internal Combustion Engines: Speed
One of the most exciting debates in the ever-evolving world of automotive technology is the performance of electric vehicles (EVs) versus conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. While both types of vehicles have their own merits, the way they generate and deliver power can significantly affect their speed and driving dynamics. Let's get to the heart of this comparison: kilowatts (kW) vs. horsepower (hp), and most importantly, torque. Understanding Power: Kilowatts vs. Horsepower The power output of electric vehicles is usually measured in kilowatts (kW), while internal combustion engines are usually described in terms of horsepower (hp). To bridge the gap between these units, remember that 1 kW is roughly equivalent to 1.34 hp. While the numbers may seem close, the way EVs and ICE vehicles provide power can result in vastly different driving experiences. Electric vehicles (EV): An electric car with an output of 100 kW produces about 134 hp. Electric vehicles benefit from the ability of electric motors…

Internal combustion engine, hybrid or electric car? BMW M3 CS vs. AMG C63 S vs. Tesla Model 3
These three compact luxury sedans are all incredibly fast, but they achieve their speed in different ways. September 15, 2024 09:19 Electric vehicles can achieve faster 0-60 mph acceleration than hybrid and gasoline vehicles. Hybrid vehicles take advantage of an additional power source to improve performance despite the added weight. The AWD system, combined with advanced launch control, significantly improves acceleration. Speed and power are more important than ever in the automotive world. These three cars (Tesla, Mercedes, and BMW) prove that performance can come from a variety of sources. Two drag races give us insight into how these three sports sedans work. First, let's look at the numbers. The Tesla Model 3 Performance is the least powerful of the three, with just 510 horsepower (380 kilowatts). The BMW M3 CS follows closely behind, with its gas-powered twin-turbocharged inline-six producing 543 horsepower (404 kilowatts), and finally the Mercedes-AMG C63 S, with its hybrid four-cylinder producing 671 horsepower (500 kilowatts).
