We’ve made no secret of our appreciation for the swoopy, sultry Porsche Taycan electric sportscar ever since the first concepts made their debut a few years ago as the Mission E. Still, as good-looking as it is, it’s hard for many people wrap their heads around the idea of calling a … [continued]
The German passenger plugin vehicle (PEV) market started the year like it ended the last one — on fire — with registrations doubling to 36,903. So, it seems there’s no stopping the German EV locomotive. While full electrics (BEVs) jumped significantly (+118% year over year), plugin hybrids (PHEVs) did even … [continued]
Originally published on EV Annex. by Charles Morris Ever since Tesla’s founding, pundits (and not only pundits, but some of the company’s founders) have assumed that, once the legacy automakers got serious about selling EVs, they would bury (or acquire) the Californian upstart. “Thanks for showing us the way, Elon, we’ll … [continued]
Mr. W is one of my favorite videos ever. Surprisingly, I covered it nearly a decade ago. (Time flies! Pun somewhat intended.) Someone shared an alternative Super Bowl ad for the Porsche Taycan that I was just watching and it didn’t take me long to notice that it was following … [continued]
After a rough start of the year, the second half of 2020 became a record-fest, with 3 record months in the last 4 months of the year, December being one of them thanks to over half a million registrations.
Another month, another highly opinionated and massively subjective list from yours truly, amirite? Hang on, though, because I think that this list is going to be a fun one.
3D printing isn’t changing all manufacturing, but it’s certainly making all kinds of marks on the world.
If the short historic sales of the Model 3 in Denmark is any indication, we could be looking at a growth of 50% in electric vehicle sales every year for the foreseeable future, which would result in half of all vehicles sold in the country being electric in 6 to 7 years. That’s approaching 100% electric vehicles sales by 2030. There’s no room for linear thinking in the present electric revolution.
Let’s look at what the Porsche Taycan and Lamborghini Huracán were actually made for: twisty roads. Yes, you can take them out for a drag race, and it would be fun, but a dedicated drag car can easily eat them both, possibly with enough time for the driver to get out, point, and laugh at you before you cross the finish line. Take one of those drag cars on a mountain road, and they’re not going to do very well because they’re built for straight line acceleration and not turns.
The German automotive market has opened the floodgates to plugin electric vehicles, with December setting yet another record sales month. Nearly 83,000 plugin vehicles (PEVs) were registered in December, resulting in an amazing 27% market share.
