Mercedes-Benz says full speed ahead on its EQC electric SUV. FCA is in talks with that company that made your iPhone. And the VW scandal is still costing the automaker—this time in Canada. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
More than four years after the Volkswagen diesel scandal, VW has been hit with a $150 million fine for environmental violations in Canada.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Foxconn—yes, that’s the maker of iPhones and other personal electronics probably in your everyday lives—have announced that they’re in talks, potentially to develop electric cars.
