The Tesla Model Y was the the best selling model in Europe in Q1!! All powertrains included!!! Some 322,000 plugin vehicles were registered in March in Europe — which is +29% year over year (YoY). In fact, March was the second best month ever for plugin vehicle (PEV) registrations, only … [continued]
When I decided last year to buy an electric car, the first one I considered was the Tesla Model 3. (See “My First EV – Part I.”) I test drove one at the dealer and took notes. After trying the Kia Niro EV, Hyundai Kona EV, and VW ID.4, I … [continued]
Just 5–10 years ago, I’d say 90% of EV enthusiasts were underestimating how much electric vehicle share of the overall auto market would grow in Europe and China. (The US is currently … quite far behind. But EV market share is growing here, too.) If you haven’t been obsessively following … [continued]

Overall auto volume was 287,825 units, … [continued]

If you’ve followed my articles, you might remember the problems I’ve had with the 2018 Nissan LEAF I used to own. Living in Phoenix at the time I bought it, the vehicle would overheat just driving down the freeway in the summer temperatures there. Even in cooler temperatures in the … [continued]
The top 10 vehicles in the Netherlands in December included six 100% electric vehicles. December was another strong month in the Dutch market for plugin vehicle sales, with 15,757 plugin registrations. That score could have been even better if other markets, like Germany and Norway, hadn’t had inflated incentive-derived record … [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.
