One of the big “gotchas” the anti-EV crowd tries to throw at EVs is that they’d fail you in a hurricane evacuation. I’ve covered this before, repeatedly, but no matter how many times we bust the myths and garbage surrounding it, the lie just doesn’t go away. Like other right-wing … [continued]
Price wise, you really cannot find another EV that gives you the best bang for your buck when it comes to affordability. I hope more manufactures can do the same and produce more sub $30K to 20K EVs, as we see from the numbers that the EUV and EV are big sellers.

Solar roofs are now required on all parking lots with more than 80 spaces in France. The opportunity in the US is enormous.

In response, researchers are intensifying efforts to understand and mitigate the impacts of increased power demand from EVs on the … [continued]
Battery fire concerns strike Ford, Chevrolet, and Hyundai, endangering the EV revolution.
