Today, we've got reports on a couple of significant analyses, one on electric-car emissions and the other on climate change; a new app for EV charging from EVgo; a new fast-charging network in Europe; and an IIHS designation for the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. All this and more on Green Car Reports.
Over the weekend, as we do every seven days, we ran down last week's most important green-car stories.

The 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. (It's also a finalist for our Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2018 award.)
Finally, someone took the smallest Audi sold in Europe, the S1—we don't get it in North America—and added tracks. Hilarity ensued, and we've got the video.
