The U.S. transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is facing a number of challenges, including concerns about range, charging infrastructure, and affordability. As a result, automakers are scaling back their EV sales targets and delaying capital investments.

In a surprising turn of events, Mazda has announced plans to produce a significant number of electric cars by 2030. The Japanese automaker, known for its sleek designs and sporty handling, has traditionally been slow to adopt electric technology. However, with pressure mounting from consumers and stricter emissions regulations, Mazda appears to be making a significant shift.

In a surprise move, industry giants Volkswagen and Renault are reportedly in talks about collaborating on a project to produce budget-friendly electric vehicles (EVs). The potential partnership, if successful, could shake up the EV market by offering more affordable options for consumers and driving further adoption of electric mobility.
