Oakland police in California have been towing at least three Teslas in July and August .

If the owners can’t be located, officers obtain search warrants and tow the EVs into evidence.

More than 140,000 Mini EVs are being recalled over battery issues that could lead to overheating in the electric car.

Plug-in hybrid cars are booming as sales of hybrid cars around the world jump a staggering 58% in July 2024 compared with the same period last year .

PHEVs/EREVs in China are up by just 5% YoY , but plugin hybrids jumped 58% in July .
