We have a Google Sheet here at CleanTechnica global headquarters that we use to keep track of stories we intend to write. Our server also retains a list of stories that are in draft but not completed. When I go to the dashboard these days, I see a draft I … [continued]
Ford has touched off a PR war, going all-out to promote its forthcoming Fathom electric pickup truck on the eve of a major Tesla Cybercab event in Texas.
In general, there’s far more concern about electric car range and electric car battery longevity than there needs to be. We’ve got a 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ and a 2018 BMW i3 REx and just need to charge them up once or twice a week overnight at home. Electric … [continued]

Methane traps heat in the atmosphere more efficiently than CO2, but has a significantly shorter lifespan, fading after just a few decades. Therefore, reducing emissions of methane — a gas primarily produced by agriculture, fossil … [continued]
BYD is looking to end 2026 strong, after several months of sales struggles put it into a pretty deep hole (in terms of a year-over-year sales comparison). As I just reported, the company’s battery-electric passenger vehicle sales were up a lot in August, and they nearly pulled the automaker’s overall … [continued]
The Tesla Model Y continues to hold a strong position in EV sales globally and in the US, but a suspension problem has left a bitter taste in the mouths of some Model Y drivers.
After trying other cars in his search for the best electric option, Bill chose a Tesla Model Y despite his antipathy to Elon Musk. Our coffee, cake, and EV mornings always provide good stories of people making the transition from fossil fuels to electric vehicles. We give good experiential information … [continued]
