As I announced last week, we are now collecting data for our 2019 electric car driver report. Yet again, building on the work of previous years and always looking to evolve, we’re aiming to significantly improve the data, analysis, and report in 2019.
I’m sure you’ve been reading our new Chinese CleanTechnica sub-site, right? Wait, what, Chinese? Indeed, we have launched a Chinese (中文) sub-site — in the “Future Trends” section of our website. To be honest, I don’t think this interests most of you, since I assume most of you are like … [continued]
A con man from Queens has run out his potential in New York City, so he takes his show on the road. Before long, he’s a national name, and he’s known to be such a big business failure that no American bank will touch him. How does he survive?
Tesla Death Anniversary events are being planned from Curaçao to Denmark. Below are some fun ones I’ve gathered some information about, some pics to whet the appetite, and some contact info.
Since 2016, CleanTechnica has published annual reports on electric vehicle drivers, which electric vehicles (EVs) they drive, what they expect to buy or lease next, their charging experiences, what features they want in a vehicle, and more. This is fascinating stuff and we share the results with the CleanTechnica community after the full analysis is completed. It’s time for another round of survey collection.
The most popular CleanTechnica articles of the past week included a cost comparison between the Tesla Model 3 and the Honda Accord, 6 hot BYD models shown at Auto Shanghai 2019, ongoing sales drops in the US auto market from … almost everyone except Tesla, and why Tesla should be thanking Volkswagen for the big ID push.
CleanTechnica just received an exclusive spy shot of the Porsche Taycan charging in the US at Electrify America’s HQ in Reston, Virginia.
I’m a little late sharing these highlights, but below are the 20 CleanTechnica articles that were most popular in April. If you missed any of them, note that they are required reading. I don’t want to say you’re going to prison if you don’t read them, but, well …
It’s time for another monthly checkup on US auto sales. Surprisingly, more than a million people are still buying the 21st century equivalent of horses every month. I think the most interesting takeaway, though, is quickly running through the companies and car divisions that saw their sales drop last month (compared to the same month in 2018) and then the companies and car divisions that saw their sales rise.
I recently published some cost comparisons between the Tesla Model 3 and various Honda Accord trims. As I implied at the time, these models shouldn’t even be in the same discussion since the Model 3 is a much better vehicle (safer, quicker, more advanced tech, better handling), but the fact is that they do compare when it comes to 5 year cost of ownership. However, when I published the previous comparisons, I didn’t include the cost of interest if you took out an auto loan to finance the purchase.
