BMW Exec Not So Electric … Tesla Supercharger Network Explosion — #CleanTechnica Top 20

The most popular articles on CleanTechnica last week were again boosted by the many fans of clean, quick, safe, techie, electric Teslas. Scroll down below to see what caught the most eyeballs.

First, though, I’ll highlight some of our exclusives/originals, which I generally think are worth extra consideration. I’ve been swamped with behind-the-scenes work in recent weeks, se we actually have some slim pickings here, but we did publish an awesome LA–Vegas road trip in a Tesla Model 3 (that put the NYTimes road trip to shame), a summary of a Bolt owner’s routine LA–Vegas road trips (which also put the NYTimes road trip to shame), and a roundup of some Tesla love from female fans (partly in response to an odd article in USA Today).

We also got some EV sales reports from Jose Pontes, which showed the Model 3 was the #1 best selling car (of any kind) in the Netherlands in June and also did well in France (but still can’t touch the popular and cheaper Renault Zoe).

Additionally, I republished some old content — my time checking out the world’s first Tesla funeral car, my ride in a very special handmade electric car in Ukraine, and a look at the evolution of the Tesla Supercharger network.

Now, on to the top 20!
