Which model did Toyota reveal as getting fuel-cell propulsion soon?
Which electric car danced and jumped in a recent introduction?
This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending April 14, 2023.
Hyundai will introduce to the U.S. the lower-priced version of the Kona EV, with a smaller 48.6-kwh battery and an expected range near 200 miles, it revealed last week. And while a Kona Hybrid is a big part of the global rollout, it isn’t coming to the U.S.—underscoring the very different strategy versus Toyota and its rival Corolla Cross Hybrid

The rugged- and sporty-looking Zeekr X electric hatchback revealed this week wraps in several novel tech features including a sliding touchscreen, facial recognition, and an exterior state of charge display. With roughly 300 miles of range, a price under $30,000 for China, and a 3.7-second 0-60 mph time, it could be a rival for the Tesla Model Y in China and Europe.
With the release of some key details regarding the Ram 1500 REV electric truck last week at the New York auto show, Ram Brand CEO Mike Koval fielded our questions on range and charging decisions, base-truck availability, and the range-extended XR model yet to be detailed. And yes, the charging robot and the full-length vehicle pass-through are both in the works.

The Ram CEO also spoke with Green Car Reports about the possibility of a smaller compact or mid-size electric truck for Ram—and suggested that Ram’s strength in South America and its upcoming STLA Large platform for electrified trucks may help make that happen.
