In a global launch event from Lucid Motors headquarters and after about 6 weeks of press announcements outlining virtually every detail of the Lucid Air, the company finally shared the price of the luxury-performance all-electric sedan.
In its fifth and final press release in the last five weeks leading up to the September 9 reveal, Lucid Motors shared a drag-race video of the Air (Dream version) achieving a 9.9 second quarter-mile time.
In an online event tonight from its Design Dome in Warren, Michigan, which was rescheduled from the original in-person event planned for Los Angeles in April, GM revealed its new all-electric LYRIQ luxury crossover/SUV.
Editor’s note: We have written about GM’s new partnership with EVgo to add 2,700 EV fast charging stations across the United States in the next 5 years a couple of times. However, this piece below offers some useful context to the news by adding information (charts!) on the current EV fast charging landscape across the country.
Will consumers buy BEVs with less than around 250 miles of range based on the EPA test cycle?
Elon Musk was recently at it again on Twitter sharing upcoming plans about the Tesla Model Y as well as Supercharging speeds for the Model S and X. But it was his comment that a range of less than 250 miles would be unacceptably low that got the attention of the EV and business press.
Workplace charging has long been touted as one of the keys to electric vehicle adoption, particularly in major urban and suburban office markets. But as potentially millions of office workers continue to permanently work from home a majority of the time after stay-at-home orders are rescinded, how might this impact the role of workplace charging in the coming years?
At GM’s recent “EV Day” in Warren, Michigan, the common feeling among attending journalists and writers after the 2-hour event was one of information overload.
“We believe in an all-electric future and we are bringing all of the power and assets of GM to the EV opportunity.” Those were the key messages that both GM CEO Mary Barra and president Mark Reuss conveyed several times throughout a 2-hour action-packed agenda delivered to an estimated 50 journalists during EV Day at GM’s Design Dome at the Tech Center in Warren, Michigan.
In advance of its “EV Day” show and tell event Wednesday in suburban Detroit, General Motors announced plans to expand availability of workplace EV charging for its employees.
