Chery Automobile, China’s largest car exporter by deliveries, expects its overseas sales of electric vehicles (EVs) to jump as much as 27 per cent this year, as a global energy crisis spurs demand for battery-powered vehicles. Zhang Guibing, the president of Chery International, said on Wednesday that pure electric and plug-in hybrid models were projected to represent as much as 70 per cent of the carmaker’s total deliveries outside the mainland in 2026. That would equate to roughly 1.05 million...

POSCO Future M said Wednesday it has secured mass production technology for silicon anode materials, a next-generation battery component seen as critical to extending electric vehicle driving range and cutting charging times. The company said the breakthrough positions it to move aggressively into the premium EV market, where automakers are increasingly demanding higher energy density and faster charging performance. Silicon anode materials can store more than four times the energy of conventional graphite-based anodes, making them one of the industry’s most closely watched battery technologies. POSCO Future M said its newly developed material maintained more than 80 percent of its original capacity after 1,000 charge-discharge cycles, even when silicon content exceeded 20 percent in testing. That marks a significant improvement over existing batteries, where silicon mixing ratios have largely remained in the single digits because of stability concerns. For years, silicon anodes have

China’s top auto industry group is calling for the creation of a standardized budget electric vehicle category — modeled on Japan’s wildly popular K-car ecosystem — to revive sluggish domestic car sales and bring millions of new buyers into the EV market.

Juiced Bikes is officially back – and now it’s bringing its aggressive value pricing strategy to the electric dirt bike market. The newly revived company, now backed by the same leadership team behind Lectric eBikes, has just launched Juiced Powersports, a new expansion focused on high-performance electric off-road motorcycles.

Tesla’s actual retail sales in China fell 10% year-over-year in April to just 25,956 vehicles, according to new data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) — despite widespread reports last week that Tesla’s China sales had surged 36%. The discrepancy is the same one we’ve been flagging for months: the 36% figure is based on wholesale numbers from Giga Shanghai, which include exports.

Hankook Tire & Technology said Monday that it has secured the headline sponsorship for the United Kingdom’s premier electric-vehicle exhibition, Everything Electric UK 2026. The deal represents a significant broadening of the company’s sponsorship footprint as it promotes its iON tire line to a growing European consumer base. Everything Electric is organized by Fully Charged, a British electric vehicle (EV)-focused media company, and serves as a leading platform to showcase the latest technology and market trends in the EV and clean-tech sectors. Hankook Tire joined the event as an official sponsor in 2024, upgraded to a headline sponsor at one venue in 2025 and is now headlining all three regional editions this year. The exhibition runs across three venues: the Great Yorkshire Event Centre in North Yorkshire on May 8-9, Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire on June 12-13, and Twickenham Stadium in London on Sept. 11-12. Each two-day event opens with a business-to-business day for

Online shopping sales in Korea rose 13.3 percent from a year earlier to a new monthly high in March, driven by strong demand for Tesla vehicles and transactions in food services, government data showed Monday. The value of online shopping stood at 25.58 trillion won ($17.37 billion) in March, up 3.03 trillion won from a year earlier, according to the data from the Ministry of Data and Statistics. The figure marked the highest monthly level since 2017, when the ministry began compiling related data. Spending on automobiles and auto accessories surged 109.9 percent from a year earlier, supported by Tesla models sold through online ordering systems. Sales of food services climbed 14.2 percent from a year earlier, while that of food and beverages jumped 13.3 percent on-year, the latest findings showed. Purchases made through smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices rose 11.6 percent from a year earlier to 19.4 trillion won, also setting a new record.

Sales of Hyundai Motor and Kia vehicles in the United States fell slightly from a year earlier, while numbers for hybrid vehicles rose to a new monthly high, the automaker said Monday. The Korean automakers sold a combined 159,216 vehicles in the key American market in April, down 2.1 percent on-year, according to the companies. Hyundai Motor sold 86,513 units, down 1.5 percent from the previous year. Its luxury vehicle brand Genesis sold 6,356 units, up 0.8 percent on-year. Kia's sales declined by 2.8 percent from the previous year to 72,703 units. The overall sales decline was due to a base effect from a sales surge last year, as customers rushed to purchase cars ahead of the imposition of Washington's auto tariffs, according to the company. Sales of eco-friendly cars, including electric vehicles (EVs), however, rose 47.6 percent on-year to 48,425 units. Demand for hybrid cars also grew by the sharpest 57.8 percent on-year, affected by the U.S. government's decision to terminate EV

LG Energy Solution said Thursday it swung to a net loss in the first quarter from a year earlier, as weakening global demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries weighed on earnings. For the first three months of this year, the company shifted to a net loss of 944 billion won ($635.8 million) from a net profit of 227 billion won a year ago. "Lower sales of EV batteries to key customers and higher costs associated with the initial ramp-up of an energy storage system (ESS) plant in the United States weighed on quarterly performance," a company official said. It also shifted to an operating loss of 207.8 billion won from an operating profit of 374.7 billion won over the cited period. Sales fell 2.5 percent to 6.55 trillion won from 6.72 trillion won.

HONG KONG — Electric vehicles (EVs) made in China now account for one in every three new EV registrations in Korea, as Tesla’s Shanghai-built models power the surge and Chinese carmakers start to gain traction. Chinese auto manufacturers have further room to expand, analysts said, supported by higher fuel prices linked to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and looser restrictions than traditional target markets. Still, they cautioned that tightening subsidy regimes could slow the pace of expansion. Sales of China-made EVs in Korea soared to 25,000 units in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 286.1 percent increase from a year earlier, according to data from the Korea Automobile and Mobility Association. Over the same period, Korean carmakers sold around 51,000 units, but grew at a much slower pace of 126.1 percent. The market share of EVs manufactured in China surged from 4.7 percent in 2022 to 33.9 percent last year, while that of Korean EVs fell from 75 percent to 57.2 percent, according
