EV UPDATE: Trump’s Tariffs Just Changed Everything! Carmakers Are in Chaos!

The rush to protectionist policies against the Chinese may actually play into Chinese car makers’ hands

Donald Trump has just announced a fresh wave of 25% tariffs on imported automobiles, along with semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, sending shockwaves through the already uncertain EV market.

Tesla Sales COLLAPSE

Is Musk to Blame?

Tesla, once the rockstar of the electric vehicle (EV) world, is now facing a spectacular nosedive in sales. From being the cool kid that made EVs sexy, to becoming the awkward uncle at the family barbecue who won’t stop ranting about MAGA — January 2025 has been a brutal wake-up call. In just a month, Tesla has gone from the top two spots of the UK sales charts in December 2024 to completely vanishing from the top ten in January. The question: is this a natural shift towards better alternatives, or has Elon Musk’s twitchy Twitter fingers tanked his own empire?

Honda-Nissan Merger CANCELLED!

Why Did Nissan Walk Away?

So, what’s going on? How will this affect the cost of cars, the future of electric vehicles, and – most importantly – your next car purchase? Let’s break it all down.

The Legacy Car Industry Is Dead

A New Automotive World Order is Emerging with its Epicentre in the East

The car industry as we know it is dying. Not slowly, not gracefully, but choking on its own fumes and grinding its gears to a halt. Legacy carmakers, once mighty titans of the road, are now resembling flailing dinosaurs, desperately stomping around, clueless as to what to do about the massive asteroid darkening their skies and hurtling toward them.

2024 – Car Year in Review

Motoring Madness: Hilarious look back at the year that was including EVs, Robots & Rod Stewart vs Potholes!

2024 has been a crazy year for the car world – it’s been madder than an Uber driver on an airport run during peak London rush hour, nastier than a two-day-old petrol station tuna sandwich, and more confused than a glitchy driverless Tesla trying to find its way out of a car park.

Two of Japan’s biggest car manufacturers are reportedly in preliminary talks to join forces, and if this goes ahead, it could be one of the biggest shake-ups the car industry has seen in decades.
