Electro Beat: Your monthly dose of EV news (February 2026)

Welcome to the February edition of Electro Beat - your monthly roundup of the biggest stories shaping the electric vehicle world. This month, there’s no shortage of buzz: EVs with personal aircrafts, the winner of the car of the year, BYD overtaking the EV incumbent and becoming the global bestseller, and so much more!

Let’s get plugged in…

Flying cars? Xpeng’s newest aircraft tech for EVs

Who hoped for flying cars by this time in the millennium? Well, we’re still not quite there yet, but Xpeng has done something pretty cool. Their new concept EV offers a new solution to traffic jams - the skies. After an intense 10 day traffic jam in 2010 Beijing, these car makers were looking for some out-of-the-box thinking. What's more inspired than a flying car - only 10 years later than the Back to the Future movie prediction. 

Although not an official flying road vehicle, the company name for this pre-production tech is ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’. With 7,000 orders already in place - this wild new creation is hoping to hit the roads later this year. 

Before next steps can be made, Xpeng leadership wants their management team to not only trial, but master these aircrafts. Imagine that item on your work to-do list - drive a car, fly a drone…The company's aim is to make flying as easy as driving, hoping to make this the future of EV transport. Although a wacky concept, we’re intrigued to see where this new tech goes. 

Now, we can’t imagine you’ll see passenger drones across the world just yet - what with the skills and licensing necessary to operate a consumer aircraft. However, it’s a funky step in EV tech. So, other than the obvious flying aspect, what's so cool about this new creation: 

Top range ability with a collective 1,000km for the electric van 

Not just the extended range, but it can charge the aircraft while on the go! The mobile charging tech works while driving and parking - with a full charge offering up to 6 flights.  

Now, a passenger carrying drone will have a hefty payload - not for the 6-wheel suspension of the van. The optimised payload capacity allows for rear-wheel steering. 

Car of the Year 2026 

The Car of the Year Awards are back with the Mercedes Benz CLA model taking the first place position for 2026. An exciting win for Mercedes with their last success in this competition being 52 years ago for their Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Voted the king of cars for 2026, the Mercedes Benz CLA was credited for its extreme efficiency. With a top range of up to 792km, it trumps many models in the market for the longest journey on a single charge. 

The model won for more than its usefulness on a long road trip. The sleek design helps the speed of travel, which in technical terms the aerodynamics offer a drag coefficient of 0.21 - pretty speedy in the world of electric cars. This goes in hand with the super efficient and powerful battery tech, allowing for 325km of charge in just 10 minutes with an Ultra-fast charger - all thanks to the 800-volt battery technology. 

Running since 1964, the Car of the Year awards are a multi-company annual recognition of the top tech in car manufacturing across Europe. Held in Brussels this year, the results were determined across 23 countries and 59 jurors - all working within the automotive industry but impartial to the financial gains of car manufacturers. 

All cars entered must hit the top 3 criteria:

Be a completely new model

Be available in at least 5 European countries

Have a sales expectation of minimum 5,000 units per year

The criteria for points ranges from general design, to technical innovation, but the main winning features cover: tech, value for money, design, and sustainability. This year, almost all shortlisted models offer a fully electric version of their car - with only one hybrid vehicle in the mix. This is an incredible push to the electric car market, with the top tech showing up in all-electric models across Europe.
