The company’s first- and second-generation chargers have been used more than 30 million times. Tesla unveiled the first V3 Supercharger at its Fremont, California factory just a few months ago, but the company is already making progress on the first concentrated buildout of the third generation of its fast-charging stations. That’s because 26 of the 46 charging stations currently being built along the transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway are V3 chargers, Tesla tells  The Verge . The new V3 chargers are capable of charging some Model 3s at rates of up to 250kW, making it possible to gain 75 miles of range in just five minutes. So far, the company has opened just a few other V3 Supercharger stations (including one in Las Vegas) beyond the original one at the Fremont plant. The news comes as Tesla celebrates the seven-year anniversary of the first Supercharger stations this week. In the time since the company lit up those first fast chargers back in 2012, Tesla has gone on to

But the Michigan startup still needs money and a manufacturing partner. Images: Bollinger Motors Michigan startup Bollinger Motors has unveiled a four-door version of both of its forthcoming electric trucks, the B1 and B2. Clad in all black, the new prototypes Bollinger revealed on Thursday show the startup has been thinking about expanding its offerings before it even gets into production, which has been pushed back to next year. The four-door B1 (which is shaped like a Jeep Wrangler) and B2 (which is longer and has a pickup bed) will have the same specs as the two-door versions since they’ll share the same powertrain. That means they’ll have a dual-motor setup that can generate around 614 horsepower, which pull power from a 120kWh battery pack that should last for about 200 miles. The trucks have a top speed of 100 miles per hour and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. But people (likely) won’t buy these trucks for their speed. Instead,

The first production version of the 100-mile EV rolls off the line in Oregon. shaing options Images: Arcimoto More than three years after Oregon’s Arcimoto let us drive a prototype version of its delightfully oddball three-wheeler, the electric vehicle is finally going into production, and deliveries are underway. The EV startup announced Thursday that it’s handing over the first Arcimoto FUV (for “fun utility vehicle” — it’s even the company’s stock ticker) that has come off the production line, and that customers who placed deposits in California, Washington, and Oregon are about to get their vehicles, too. Arcimoto’s two-seater EV is driven using motorcycle handlebars, though company says people won’t need a motorcycle license to operate it. At a retail price of $19,900, it’s not exactly motorcycle-cheap, but it is a more capable and well-appointed vehicle than it may appear at first glance. It has a top speed of 75 miles per hour, a city-driving range of just over

With an eye-catching circular camera bump. All sharing options After a week that saw renders, photographs, and even a couple of hands-on video reveals much about Huawei’s latest flagship phones ahead of their announcement, the Mate 30 series is now official, starting with the Mate 30 Pro and the Mate 30. The announcement of Mate 30 series comes at a difficult time for Huawei, whose presence on the USA’s entity list prevents US companies from doing business with the Chinese firm. Google said last month that these phones won’t ship with Google’s apps and services, nor will they come with the Play Store pre-installed, which is how most Android users outside of China download their apps. HUAWEI WILL SHIP THE DEVICES WITH ITS OWN HUAWEI MOBILE SERVICES CORE Huawei’s response to the problem has been to nurture its own ecosystem of apps which are available through the Huawei App Gallery. The company announced that rather than shipping with Google’s services pre-installe
