New Green Car Journal Issue Shines a Spotlight on EVs

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal's new Issue No. 51 comes at a time of great change in the auto industry as the electric vehicle field quickly evolves. Even as new electric vehicles are making their way to dealer showrooms, other previously announced EV introductions are on hold or being cancelled as automakers shift strategies in real time to deal with a rapidly changing market.

Still, according to the editors at Green Car Journal, the EV field remains dynamic and continues to expand. There is also new momentum for other forms of electrified vehicles like hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and range-extended EVs. All this points to an auto industry coming to grips with new realities: Vehicles must speak to the needs of customers and not simply the demands of regulators. They must be smaller, lighter, and more efficient. And most importantly, they must ultimately be affordable without requiring massive subsidies.

Green Car Journal, the auto field's leading environmental publication, is on top of these trends with its 51st issue's special "Spotlight on EVs" focus. Always taking the long view with decades of experience reporting on EVs and other environmentally positive vehicles, the magazine's veteran writers provide expert analysis while placing today's EV activities in context.

This issue celebrates the real and continuing progress being seen in the electric vehicle field with features on new electrified models, buying guides/tips, and drive tests. It also presents options for new vehicle purchases that will fit most buyers' budgets. In addition, a special Toyota presentation lends an in-depth look at this automaker's strategic pathways to a carbon neutral future.

THE ISSUE INCLUDES:

• An in-depth look at electric pickups available today
• What it's like to live with a plug-in hybrid for a year
• A drive test of VW's electric ID. Buzz minivan
• How to save money and emissions with a used EV
• An overview of 40+ mpg hybrids under 40 grand
• Details on a coming electric pickup for under $30K
• A dozen affordable gas cars that champion mpg
• Plus, why range-extended EVs are the new hot ticket
