Hyundai & Kia EVs Rack Up TSP+ Awards

CleanTechnica EVs

EV Connect

As electric vehicles (EVs) transform from niche technology to mainstream transportation, the infrastructure supporting their adoption faces critical challenges. Among these, interoperability stands as perhaps the most significant hurdle for creating a robust, accessible charging network. At the center of this challenge lies a protocol that most EV drivers have never heard of, yet it fundamentally shapes their charging experience: Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).

Quick Take: 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring

The Truth About Cars

The Goldilocks car that does just about everything right is very, very hard to find. And when you can find it, it usually won't be cheap. That's usually the case, anyway. But the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring shows that's possible to get just about everything right without commanding a (relatively, see below) high MSRP. I was expecting to be properly whelmed by this Civic when I took it around some east-central Wisconsin roads during the Midwest Automotive Media Association Spring Rally.

Volkswagen Introduces Golf GTI Edition 50 with 320 horsepower

The Truth About Cars

Celebrating the model’s 50th year, Volkswagen is launching a special Golf GTI with gonzo levels of horsepower. Alas, this one will stay across the pond. Christening it as the most powerful production Golf GTI to date, the Edition 50 is rated at roughly 320 horsepower, translated from the weirdo Yurpean measures of 239 kW or 325 PS. That’s bloody near R territory, except a GTI funnels all of its power through the front wheels, of course.
