Rivian is getting U.S.-built motors. The Ford Escape Hybrid takes a sportier-looking turn. GM has recalled the Hummer EV over battery-pack sealing. Toyota is reportedly doing some soul-searching on a master plan for its EVs. And the Avalon\u2019s all-hybrid, all-wheel-drive replacement gets pricing and fuel economy numbers. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pricing and gas mileage numbers are locked in for the all-hybrid 2023 Toyota Crown sedan<\/a>. For about $41,000, the Crown starts at 41 mpg combined, but step up to the Platinum version and its Hybrid Max system and you get a different performance-hybrid emphasis and 30 mpg rating.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid<\/a> is among the versions of this compact SUV getting a sporty available ST-Line treatment, as part of a mid-cycle refresh. But Ford doesn\u2019t see it spinning this lineup toward much greater hybrid adoption. The Escape Plug-In Hybrid carries over, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bosch, the German-based global supplier once pulled to the center of the VW diesel scandal, is several years into a pivot to support electric vehicles. And in South Carolina it\u2019s ramping up U.S. electric motor production\u2014first for Rivian<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toyota\u2019s plans for developing up to 30 EVs globally by 2030, with a relatively low emphasis on U.S. EVs, may be in flux. According to a report, it\u2019s suspended work on all those models\u2014including the Toyota Compact Cruiser SUV\u2014as it mulls a stronger shift to EVs<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And General Motors is recalling GMC Hummer EV SUVs<\/a> and BrightDrop EV600 electric vans over an issue that could let water into the battery pack. The company reports that it\u2019s since changed the seal procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
