Sony is making an electric car. To me personally, that's a very cool idea. It's like the Apple car that never was. But the Sony-Honda Afeela 1 is missing one key detail, InsideEVs Deputy Editor Mack Hogan notes in a column out today: "A reason to buy it." The Afeela 1 touts intriguing features like an AI assistant and PlayStation integration, but at its core it may just be too little, too late. Check out Mack's interview with Sony-Honda Mobility's COO for the full download on the Afeela 1. We've got plenty more in today's edition of The Update. Our very own Suvrat Kothari spoke with a General Motors R&D executive about the future of that company's EV batteries. And Patrick George tested out how the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 performs on a Tesla Supercharger. —Tim Levin, Senior Reporter |
