Description:
Welcome to Electric News Highlights – Week 11 of 2026. Here are the most important electric vehicle news stories of the week.
This week we look at EV sales in Germany, where the Skoda Elroq takes the #1 spot, followed by the Volkswagen ID.3. We also see interesting entries in the Top 10 including the Mini Cooper Electric, Mercedes CLA and BYD Dolphin Surf.
Other major stories include the world premiere of the new BMW i3 on the Neue Klasse platform, new ultra-fast 1500 kW charging technology from BYD, strong demand for the Volvo EX60, and the facelift of the BYD Seal.
We also take a look at the Kia EV5 GT now available to order in Europe, plus the extremely low pricing situation of the Dacia Spring in Germany due to incentives.
