Electric cars

With rising competition in China, BYD cuts prices: Seal sedan down NIS 20,000, Sealion 7 up to NIS 25,000. Base models now start below NIS 200,000.

Six years ago, a 263 km-range Chinese electric crossover was a hit. Its successor shows how quickly EVs have advanced and how they are catching up with gasoline and hybrid models.

With tens of thousands of Israelis owning electric or plug-in cars, there’s a backup: V2L technology allows household devices to be powered directly from the car’s battery. Here’s how it works.

Starting at NIS 140,000, this Chinese SUV is bigger than the Hyundai Kona and Toyota Corolla Cross, yet much cheaper. Could anything stop it from becoming a hit?

The electric car market is declining, but gaps show. Strong leasing pushed Deepal to first in a Chinese-dominated market. Only Kia EV3 enters the top five; top European model, Mercedes CLA, is 20th.

Until last year, electric SUVs cost ~NIS 180,000. In 2026, many models are available for NIS 160,000–170,000, not just Chinese. Which is better, and can they revive EV sales?

Mayer has begun marketing the ES90, promising a 650 km range, 300 km of charging in 10 minutes, and significantly lower prices than BMW and Audi. All the details.

At 4.70 m long, the #5 is the Smart farthest from the original, yet it still stands out in a crowded crossover market. Sadly, the price is anything but mini.

While Porsche may cancel its electric sports car, Ferrari presses on with the Lucea, revealing a driver cockpit that blends retro style with Apple-inspired design.

The electric revolution reaches the mass market. In Israel, 7 models promise over 500 km range for under NIS 200,000, taking you from Haifa to Eilat without stopping.
