A day ahead of the election of the new prime minister of Pakistan, jailed former premier Imran Khan’s party on Saturday said it will continue with its protests “in courts, in parliament and on the streets” until his release and the party’s “stolen mandate” is restored.

While some companies are simply slapping an electric powertrain in an existing chassis and calling it a day, the majority of companies are taking the transition to electrified as an opportunity to redesign their lineups completely — both outside and in. Just look at the EV6, a car that would be impossible to imagine in Kia’s lineup just five years ago. But while the fresh and new exterior designs are fun to look at, it’s the interior that really impacts the driving experience. And while plenty of companies are making great…
