I prefer comparing the Tesla Model 3 to its gasoline competitors, but it's also logical to compare the Model 3 to other electric vehicles. In the old days, these were simply called EV sales reports, but the US electric vehicle market is so unbalanced at the moment that it's hard to ignore the elephant in the room — there's the Model 3, and there's everything else

We recently returned to Florida after 4½ months in Poland. I was planning to write an article about our insanely low fuel costs driving an electric car before we left Florida in mid-March. That didn't happen. I then decided to at least write the article before returning to Florida. That didn't happen. Long story short: below is finally the article I was planning to write about our fuel costs after ~9 months driving an electric car in Southwest Florida

Elon Musk is consistently accused of being late. Sure, Tesla typically takes longer to launch its electric cars than Musk's overzealous timelines. But no one can argue with his sense of urgency to expedite EVs to market. On the other hand, how are legacy automakers faring in their race to go electric

Tesla's Model 3 is on the minds of many people around the world. From Cote d'Ivoire to El Salvador to the US and Canada, and then all the way to Australia and China, the data show that many people are researching the Model

If there’s one thing the legacy automakers can agree on, it’s that nobody wants to buy electric vehicles. Consumer Reports disagrees

I've been thoroughly digging through our archives lately and ran across a series of articles published in the middle of 2017 that seemed to be worth a refresh and rerun. These are simple comparisons I conducted between the Tesla Model 3 and other premium-class cars in its general price range and size. Let's revisit how current BMW options compare to the Model 3, this time adding in some 5 year cost of ownership scenarios

The German plug-in vehicle (PEV) market continued on the right track in June, having registered 8,631 units. Fully electric vehicles (BEVs) were up strong, +117% year over year (YoY), compensating for the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drop of –9%, and all-electrics now represent two-thirds of plug-in registrations. The PEV share of the overall auto market was 2.7% in May, with BEVs alone hitting 1.8%. That pushed the 2019 plug-in share slightly up, to 2.6% (1.7% BEV)

The French passenger electric vehicle market scored 5,847 registrations in June, up 25% year over year (YoY). That plug-in double-digit growth is even more significant when we realize that the overall market remained stagnant (-2%). This result placed the 2019 plug-in vehicle (EV) share at 2.5%, with fully electric vehicles (BEVs) alone having 1.9% share

BMW CEO Harald Krüger has resigned his post, citing "enormous changes, which have brought about more transformation than in the previous 30 years." He is referring to the rapid rise of Tesla's compelling electric vehicles, which are crushing BMW's car offerings in the US market and are now threatening to disrupt sales in key Europe and Chinese markets as well

For several years now, I've felt both guilt and embarrassment for not driving an EV. I wonder how many other CleanTechnica readers who don't own an EV yet, who own an ICE (internal combustion engine) car, feel similarly
