Six tiny EVs that dare to be small, sharp, and actually cool
The EV market keeps serving us slabs. Chunky SUVs with batteries strapped underneath, all pretending aerodynamics don't exist. Then these six tiny hatchbacks show up, modest in footprint, bold in personality, and suddenly the whole segment feels a little embarrassed. That's the energy we're here for. Small cars make sense. Lighter bodies mean happier batteries, easier parking, and designs that actually have to earn their silhouette instead of hiding behind bulk. Dezeen rounded up six of the most eye-catching, and the razor clam here is how each one dares to be sharp rather than safe. We're gently skeptical, sure. But also delighted. If you're craving more weird product energy, our Dyson camera-toothbrush chat is right there. Stay spooty.
Bentley's first EV is its fastest ever, and it looks like nothing else
Bentley finally let the covers slip off its first electric car back in July, and now we can actually see the thing. It's the fastest Bentley ever, which is a wild flex for a brand known more for wood veneer and wafting than for scaring your fillings loose. And it looks like nothing else they've made, which is saying something for a company that's been polishing the same grand tourer silhouette for decades. I'm genuinely curious about the shape, because it's not a swoopy coupe or a boxy SUV, it's somewhere in between. The spec sheet is still thin, so I'm not going to invent range figures or a price tag. But the real question, the one that launch video probably skipped, is what it actually feels like to drive.
