French carmaker Renault (RENA.PA) will control 80% of its electric vehicle value chain well ahead of its 2030 target as it develops partnerships in batteries, electric motors and power electronics, its chief executive said on Thursday.

The SL03 is a fine looking sedan that looks more traditional and conventional than a Model 3, with a more aggressive front end and a more clearly defined three-box shape compared to the Tesla.

As electric vehicles hit the road around the country, hundreds of thousands of Americans are beginning to learn the ins and outs of car charging: how to install home chargers, where to find public charging stations, and how to avoid the dreaded “range anxiety.”
