Mazda has been very happy selling gasoline vehicles and plug-in hybrids in the U.S., while rivals race past with fully electric models. But the company might finally step out of its comfort zone.
A battery-powered Mazda test mule was spotted in California looking like a mix of the CX-90 and CX-60. A midsize SUV is reportedly in the works, likely to launch sometime in 2028. We think it could ride on the company’s dedicated Skyactiv EV architecture.
What else is happening today?
Also, the micromobility start-up spun out of Rivian, has revealed the base price of its super cool TM-B electric bike.
California-based startup Pebble is now taking orders for its mid-spec Flow electric RV trailer.
And Volkswagen EVs will finally get access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting next week.
