Nikola Badger Is a Hydrogen Truck With Range for Days

Another competitor has just jumped into the already-crowded electric pickup truck pool. But at least Nikola Motors is bringing something new to fight against GMC, Tesla, Rivian, and Bollinger. That ‘something new’ is a different approach to extended EV range. Simply building larger batteries won’t cut it. But fast-charging infrastructure isn’t quite extensive enough, and …

GM Killed Its Electric EV1-Now It’s Trying To Lure EV Investors

This company started making electric vehicles 20 years ago. The EVs were highly developed, had a range of 100 miles which wasn’t great but made them popular for short commutes, and sold as many as it could make. The cars were mostly owned by celebrities and actors who praised them at every opportunity. Free advertising. …

The Electric Hummer’s Specs Might Give Tesla a Jolt

After months of speculation, we now know that GM is bringing Hummer back. Not as its own brand, but a high-end GMC all-electric truck. However, when the news first leaked, details were fairly slim.

Why Fast Charging an EV Costs More

Charging, arguably more so than battery capacity or chemistry, is one of the biggest limitations to widespread EV adoption. Supercapacitors could theoretically cut charge times, but they’re not production-ready. And although hydrogen fuel cells can refuel as quickly as ICE vehicles, the infrastructure isn’t there yet. New fast-charging stations, and fast-charging EVs like the Porsche …
