Jeep Doubles Down on the All-Electric Recon as EV Sales Slide
<h2>Time's a Changin'</h2><p>2025 was a turning point year for EVs, not just globally but, more importantly, in the United States. While the rest of the world stopped buying due to other concerns, one major reason the U.S. stopped was the removal of the $7,500 tax credit for EV purchases just before Q4 of 2025.</p><p>This saw panic buying in Q3, following a major sales slump in Q4. Numbers don't lie: EV sales dropped 46% in Q4 compared to the previous quarter. More alarmingly, in 2025, EVs accounted for only 5.8% of U.S. sales in Q4, a level not...

<p >Bitcoin volatility rattles markets as price briefly slips below $60K, but the deeper signal emerges beneath the noise: buying pressure steps in as ETFs absorb the shock.
