Car and Driver ran their longest-range battery-electric cars through real-world testing. The gap between EPA estimates and actual highway miles keeps widening—mostly because cold weather, highway speeds, and real driving conditions don't care about your window sticker. Knowing which EVs actually deliver matters when you're counting on that battery.

Kia's throwing the GT nameplate at three EVs—the EV3, EV4, and EV5—betting that tuned suspension, sportier styling, and actual driving dynamics can salvage the EV-as-appliance problem. It's a credible move from a brand that actually understands how to make a hot hatch feel alive. The question isn't whether they'll sell; it's whether anyone shopping this segment actually cares about handling over charging networks.

A congressional bill just landed to regulate electronic and pop-out door handles on new cars, treating a design trend as a safety issue. The move targets the exact kind of theatrical hardware that Tesla, BMW, and others leaned into as differentiation. If it passes, you're looking at a hard reset on how manufacturers approach entry systems—function over form, cost over character.
