Subaru considers more affordable EV below the Uncharted

View post: Walmart Is Selling a 'Wonderful' $360 Outdoor Griddle for $136, and Shoppers Say It's 'Convenient and Portable' Automaker's EV Lineup May Not Be Done Growing Having just unveiled the Uncharted, a small electric crossover twinned with the next-generation Toyota C-HR, Subaru is considering an even smaller, more affordable electric model, reports Autocar. 'It's something that is up for consideration, because we need to prepare a wider range of BEVs to meet every customer's expectations,' Masahiko Inoue, Subaru's global EV product head, told the magazine in a recent interview. Autocar reported that Subaru has taken note of the sales success of the new Renault 5, the all-electric revival of the compact hatchback once sold in the United States as the Le Car, which has logged impressive sales of 30,000 units in Europe since the beginning of the year. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:09 Full screen Thinking about buying a Toyota RAV4? These 5 rivals might change your mind Watch More The Uncharted is almost seven inches shorter than the Subaru Solterra, the automaker's only current EV, which itself is about the same length as the gasoline Impreza hatchback. So a smaller EV would be properly compact, more in the vein of the Subaru Justy hatch sold in the U.S. from 1987 to 1994, and one of the smallest cars Subaru has ever sold outside Japan. Smaller EV May Take Awhile To Arrive Source: Subaru All of Subaru's EVs have been jointly developed with Toyota, and that's likely to be the case with additional models as well. Autocar notes that Andrea Carlucci, Toyota's product boss in Europe, previously said an electric Yaris 'is the idea,' which would provide the perfect basis for a smaller Subaru EV. But Carlucci also said 'this is not quite now.' Subaru itself doesn't seem to be in a rush to roll out this model. Subaru Europe boss David Dello Stritto said the automaker has been watching the European electric small-car segment, which is set to expand with the Volkswagen ID 2 and smaller models from Cupra and MG, but wants to 'wait and see how the Uncharted does' before deciding on a new entry-level model. 'I reckon we need about two years to find out how it's performing,' he said. 'We might have come up with new ideas during that period, so in two years' time we can talk again.'

Europe may soon have a vibrant small EV segment, but the business case for a smaller Subaru EV in the U.S. is likely less compelling. While price has long been a major obstacle to EV adoption, the Uncharted is already a fairly small car by the standards of this market, so it's unclear if consumers will bite even with a low price. But such a car would provide an alternative to the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV, due to arrive later this year. For now, Subaru has one of the freshest EV lineups in the industry. In addition to the Uncharted, which made its public debut last week, the automaker unveiled a refreshed Solterra and the new, Outback-like, Trailseeker at the 2025 New York Auto Show earlier this year. Both are also slated to reach showrooms as 2026 models. About the Author Stephen Edelstein View Profile

Trump Walks Back Threats To Elon Musk: 'I Want Him To THRIVE Like Never Before'
Donald Trump pledged to maintain federal subsidies for Elon Musk's companies in a post on Truth Social. US President Donald Trump appeared to dial down tensions with tech billionaire Elon Musk, declaring in a post on his social media platform Truth Social that he does not intend to revoke federal subsidies for Elon Musk's companies. 'Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon's companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the US Government. This is not so!" Donald Trump wrote, adding, 'I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before! The better they do, the better the USA does, and that's good for all of us." The post comes just weeks after Donald Trump threatened to cut off billions of dollars in government support to Elon Musk's ventures- including Tesla and SpaceX. The two high-profile figures, once perceived as allies, have experienced a turbulent relationship marked by occasional praise and sharp public jabs. Their rift came after Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Donald Trump concluded his post by reaffirming his optimistic economic outlook, as he asserted 'We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!"

The absurd fight over Trump's MAGA prosecutor in New Jersey, explained
is a senior correspondent at Vox, where he focuses on the Supreme Court, the Constitution, and the decline of liberal democracy in the United States. He received a JD from Duke University and is the author of two books on the Supreme Court. Alina Habba delivers remarks before being sworn in as the interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey as U.S. President Donald Trump looks on in the Oval Office at the White House on March 28, 2025. Photo byAbout four months ago, Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed Alina Habba, one of Trump's personal lawyers, as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Habba spent her brief tenure in office bringing dubious prosecutions and investigations against elected Democrats, including a failed prosecution of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and an ongoing case against US Rep. LaMonica McIver. Prior to this appointment, Habba had no experience as a prosecutor. But Habba's appointment expires this week. And the Trump administration's ham-handed response to that expiration has created an awkward situation where it's not entirely clear who, if anyone, is currently the US Attorney in New Jersey. SCOTUS, Explained Get the latest developments on the US Supreme Court from senior correspondent Ian Millhiser. Email (required) Sign Up By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice . This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. By law, Bondi only has the authority to appoint interim US Attorneys for 120 days. There is some dispute over whether this clock ran out on Tuesday or whether Habba remains in office through Friday, but the law is quite clear that Habba ceases to be US Attorney after time runs out. The same law states that once Habba's appointment expires, the federal district court in New Jersey 'may appoint a United States attorney to serve until the vacancy is filled' by a Senate-confirmed nominee (Trump nominated Habba to serve as US Attorney indefinitely, but that nomination is currently stalled due to opposition from both of New Jersey's Democratic senators). On Tuesday, New Jersey's federal judges issued a brief order announcing that Desiree Leigh Grace, a career prosecutor who previously served as Habba's first assistant — the No. 2 lawyer in the US Attorney's office — will replace Habba. Bondi responded with predictably Trumpian bluster, announcing that Grace 'has just been removed' and that DOJ 'does not tolerate rogue judges.' Let's dispel with the fiction that anyone has gone rogue here. While the Constitution requires top federal officials, such as cabinet secretaries, to be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, it permits lower-ranking officers such as US Attorneys to be appointed by 'the Courts of Law,' so long as Congress authorizes the courts to do so. Congress did, in fact, give courts the authority to make these appointments once a temporary US Attorney's 120-day tenure expires. So, legally speaking, everything is above board here. That said, federal law also permits the president to remove any sitting US Attorney. So, assuming that Trump actually signed the order removing Grace, she was lawfully removed. Trump cannot appoint a permanent replacement without the Senate's consent, but he can keep removing anyone the district court appoints who is not Alina Habba. The district judges have good reason to prefer a career prosecutor over Habba Habba didn't exactly distinguish herself during her time as Trump's personal lawyer. In 2022, for example, Habba represented Trump in a lawsuit against his 2016 presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton, that accused Clinton of 'racketeering' by linking Trump's campaign to Russia. A federal judge eventually determined that Trump 'deliberately misrepresented public documents,' that the suit was 'frivolous,' and that the allegations underlying the suit were 'political grievances masquerading as legal claims.' The judge ordered Habba, along with Trump's other lawyers, to pay monetary sanctions as a penalty. Habba's brief tenure as a federal prosecutor, moreover, was notable largely because of the high number of investigations and prosecutions she initiated against prominent elected Democrats. In May, for example, Mayor Baraka was arrested while protesting an immigrant detention facility. A federal magistrate judge labeled the charges against Baraka a 'worrisome misstep,' and Habba eventually backed down. Baraka is now suing Habba for 'malicious prosecution.' Habba also indicted Rep. McIver, who participated in the same protest. A federal law permits sitting members of Congress to enter federal immigration facilities as part of their oversight responsibilities. Habba, for what it is worth, claims that McIver assaulted law enforcement officers. Additionally, Habba opened a federal investigation into New Jersey's Democratic governor, Phil Murphy, and its Democratic attorney general, Matt Platkin, over a directive preventing state law enforcement officers from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Under the Supreme Court's 'anti-commandeering' doctrine, the federal government may not force states to enforce federal laws. As the Court said in Murphy v. NCAA in 2018, 'conspicuously absent from the list of powers given to Congress is the power to issue direct orders to the governments of the States.' Habba's authoritarian tendencies aside, she also has little professional experience that qualifies her to supervise federal prosecutors. Prior to her interim appointment, she'd never worked as a prosecutor. Nevertheless, during her time as interim US Attorney, Habba led an office with 170 lawyers. Before Trump, the Justice Department tried not to antagonize judges No party appears in federal court more than the United States. In 2021 alone, federal judges sentenced a convicted offender in 57,377 cases. That number doesn't include cases where a defendant was acquitted. It also does not include the many civil lawsuits where the United States is a party. In large part because of this huge caseload, Justice Department lawyers typically speak of federal judges with cautious professionalism. If DOJ antagonizes a particular judge today, that judge may hear hundreds of cases involving the United States before they leave the bench. Some of the biggest losers in this food fight between the Trump administration and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, in other words, are likely to be the career federal prosecutors who litigate in that court. Judges are likely to view the Justice Department's legal arguments with more skepticism now that the attorney general has frivolously accused them of going 'rogue' and usurping 'the President's core Article II powers.' Meanwhile, the simple fact remains that New Jersey's federal judges do not have confidence in Habba — to such a degree that they effectively chose to remove her from office and replace her with her deputy. So, these judges are also likely to cast a skeptical eye on the Justice Department's arguments if Habba remains as US Attorney.
