Honda is positioning itself to offer more cost-effective electric vehicles by introducing battery leasing options. Volkswagen is doubling down on its ID.4 electric vehicle and enhancing its ChatGPT feature. Jeep shares new details on its upcoming $25,000 model, anticipated to launch next year. Is it time to revisit the way electric vehicles are incorporated into U.S. fuel economy standards? These stories and more on Green Car Reports.

Stellantis has announced at an investor presentation that a new electric Jeep priced at $25,000 will be launched in the U.S. by 2027. The vehicle, a Jeep Renegade EV, will incorporate LFP battery cells which CEO Carlos Tavares notes will assist in maintaining the low cost.

A coalition of GOP Senators is challenging the tougher emissions standards that could boost electric vehicle (EV) sales—by scrutinizing how EVs are accounted for in fleet efficiency metrics. Presently, EVs are assigned a higher value that encourages manufacturers, as each EV sold permits the production of numerous high-emission vehicles. Given this, alongside the more lenient goals set recently by the Biden administration, one might wonder if automakers are inclined to relinquish these calculations.

Volkswagen has announced that the 2025 VW ID.4 will retain all the updates introduced in the 2024 model, such as increased power, extended driving range, and an enhanced interface. Additionally, a greater number of the company's other models will incorporate its ChatGPT-powered digital voice assistant.

Battery leasing is considered a strategy to reduce the cost of electric vehicles (EVs), yet it hasn't been implemented on a large scale in the U.S. On Thursday, Honda revealed a partnership with Mitsubishi Corporation aimed at lowering the prices of Honda's electric vehicles in Japan. While this program is currently limited to Japan, there's potential for a similar plan to bring cost-effective Honda EVs to the American market.
