Many auto manufacturers are preparing for an electric vehicle future, including General Motors, which talks about its all-electric future on its website. The company plans for Cadillac to roll out its new battery electric vehicle architecture first before it is implemented in other GM brands. Included in the plan are GMC’s trucks, and the first …

Despite what you may think, Jay Leno’s love of classics doesn’t mean he dismisses EVs. He’s owned a Tesla for several years and was enthusiastic about the Mustang Mach-E. But not every single electric car gets a positive reception. Leno wasn’t taken by the $1.3-million Drako GTE, for example. But what does Jay Leno think …

Unless you’re completely disconnected, you’ve probably heard of Elon Musk and his Tesla brand. You may not realize there’s more to the iconic electric vehicle (EV) company than the latest Cybertruck. In fact, Tesla is turning the automotive industry on its end and revolutionizing not only how cars are built, but how people buy them …

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 …

The 2019 Audi e-tron currently starts at an MSRP of $74,800, which is a lot of money for most people. The good news is that with a number of discounts available right now through Costco and other sources, the price may drop down near $60,000. Here’s a look at the details on reducing the 2019 …

Everybody seems to be in agreement that electric cars are the future. But some people still have some unfounded fears about electric cars.

There’s a running joke that the US never gets the cool stuff. Overseas, consumers got rides like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Mega Cruiser, Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution, and the last of the Celica GT4s.

The new Porsche Taycan will be featured in a Super Bowl commercial this year. Why did Porsche feel the need to buy this ad?

Think electric vehicles are some new innovation? Well, think again. The truth is that in 1832, the first electric car was developed. These cars were not the luxury vehicles we think of today. However, innovators in the United States, as well as in Hungary and the Netherlands, were developing electric cars in the late 19th …

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 …

Many potential consumers are curious how far electric cars actually go. So in a real world test, which electric car came out on top?

It’s not only celebrities that are going electric. Classic trucks and SUVs are now being converted to electric drive, keeping classic utility without problematic powertrains.

In contrast to some other celebrity car owners, Fast & Furious star and rapper Ludacris keeps his collection relatively humble. One of his most well-known vehicles is a 1993 Acura Legend that he’s described as a “dream car.” He still dailies it, and it even shows up on an album cover. But that Legend may …

It’s easy, with how today’s media consumption, for an automaker to market any feature as something ground-breaking. Especially with electric pickup trucks, a segment where manufacturers need to differentiate themselves. Some, like Bollinger, let the truck’s capability and design do the talking. Others, such as Tesla, can sometimes lean on sensationalist methods. Is setting up …

Electric pickup trucks like the Telsa Cybertruck, Bollinger B2, and Rivian R1T are just around the corner. But while they may be almost production-ready, potential buyers may hesitate over range and recharge time. Especially when towing gets involved. Hydrogen technology could help, but it comes with its own problems. However, there may be a different …

As we’ve recently covered, electric pickup trucks still have to address several issues challenging their widespread use. And to be fair, these are similar to ones facing diesel and gasoline trucks: towing, torque, and most importantly, range. But while trucks like the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T have the torque and have the towing capability, …
