Tesla CEO Elon Musk is now an integral part of the Trump 2.0 administration. How Musk will fare in the long haul is yet to be determined — Musk’s mercurial nature may be, ultimately, undone by Trump’s furious outbursts and inability to maintain attention or loyalty for extended periods. Perhaps … [continued]
It may come as a surprise to some, but the US and Germany are not the only new car markets on Earth. Tons of new cars are sold every year in Southeast Asian countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Those markets have traditionally been ignored by German and US … [continued]
Please read on below and you EV-curious gas car drivers may be thankful too by next Thanksgiving. I’m approaching my 11-year anniversary driving electric cars as my primary or only vehicle. I’ve driven an EV north/south from Lake Superior to Southern California and east/west from North Carolina to California. I’ve … [continued]
As electric vehicles slowly make their way out of the cities and into more rural areas, the charging infrastructure must be ready for them. Arran Bloomfield of ReGenev recently undertook charging installations in the mid New South Wales coast at Newcastle, inland at Collarenebri — west of Tamworth and further … [continued]
Recently, I came across what looked to be a really cool e-bike on social media. It’s a bike without some of the more common failure points, like gear shifters and derailleurs.

Ideally, we’d all have a rooftop full of solar power and a big bank of batteries in a large garage. This would not only power our homes 24/7 with clean solar power, but it would also keep the power bill down, feed clean energy to the grid, and keep your … [continued]
What great news it was to learn that a handful of police departments in Connecticut are piloting electric vehicles (EVs) for their workday needs. With EV prices near parity with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and highly efficient batteries providing more than adequate range, it makes sense that more municipal … [continued]
We’ve written a few times about the US EV tax credit likely being cut in 2025 by Donald Trump and Republicans, and the point that you should probably buy an electric car ASAP (by the end of 2024) if you want to benefit from the $7,500 EV tax credit. Even … [continued]
