This growth marks the seventh consecutive month of recovery after two years of sharp declines due to tightened lending rules and high consumer debt.The surge is largely attributed to an increase in demand for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). BEV sales soared by 128% year-on-year, hitting 8,479 units, while HEVs saw a 98% rise to reach 12,354 units.

Automakers Seek Rare Earth Alternatives in Electric Motors

Stunned by frequent shortages of essential materials from China, automakers in the United States and Europe are quietly trying to reduce or eliminate their reliance on rare-earth metals used in electric vehicle motors. This shift is driven by geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions.BMW has taken a lead role with its iX SUV model, which uses electric motors that do not require neodymium or other rare earth elements. The company's approach reflects growing concerns about the stability of global rare-earth supplies, particularly as China controls most mining and processing operations for these materials.Researchers at Northeastern University and other institutions are exploring synthetic materials with magnetic properties similar to those found in meteorites. These efforts aim to d...

Lamborghini Pauses on EV Future; Winkelmann Shares Strategy

In the latest episode of Chapeau Media, Stephan Winkelmann pulls back the curtain on one of Lamborghini's most pressing issues: its first all-electric vehicle.
