For those that may be unaware, Tesla, Ford, and Hummer are not the only manufacturers that have shown their intent to produce electric pickups. There have also been entrants from Rivian, Lordstown, and Bollinger, to name a few. However, Bollinger is going a step further. They have introduced a path for fleets to take advantage of their vehicles through a chassis …

News recently broke about an electric SUV coming from a solar panel and charger supplier. The Triton Model H, based on its manufacturer’s claims, was an 8-seat electric SUV that could deliver up to 700 miles of range. We were understandably a bit skeptical. After all, some of the best electric SUVs on the market …

If there’s one car that perhaps best symbolizes the rise of the EV, it’s the Tesla Model 3. The electric sedan has won a lot of consumers over for its daily usability and surprising performance. However, it’s also become a poster-child for Tesla’s continuing quality-control issues. And the Tesla Model 3 now faces a growing …

All 3 of the American muscle car makers—Dodge, Ford, and Chevrolet—have created high-power drag strip racers. One, the 840-hp Dodge Demon, was even street-legal, though the 1000-hp Hellephant V8 is understandably not. Although, some of the fastest cars at the drag strip aren’t gasoline-powered, but electric. Some have even transplanted EV drivetrains under classic muscle …

Although the lack of extensive fast-chargers limits their long-distance capability, electric motorcycles can be excellent urban commuters. In addition, the lack of clutch makes them good for beginning riders, or those without manual experience. However, the EV conversion market shows that electric cars and trucks, at least, can still use manual transmissions. And now, Kawasaki …

For the majority of potential electric SUV owners, 200-300 miles of range should be sufficient for daily driving. Nevertheless, as with ICE SUV owners, electric SUV drivers will likely use them at least occasionally for long-distance rides and/or towing. And once outside the city, fast chargers are still relatively sparse. That’s why something like Blink’s …

Fisker is expected to have copies of its Ocean SUV on the streets in 2022. Between now and then, expect to have more information being revealed about the vehicle to raise public awareness. To that end, yesterday, both Henrik Fisker and Fisker, Inc released on their respective Twitter accounts information about a new trim package …

The iconic Mini Cooper just went electric. Rather than shouting it from the hillside like outlandish futuristic electric models, the Mini E remains true to itself. This handy electric urban car drives the city streets disguised as a regular Mini. Not veering far from its roots, the electric Mini sports the same athletic handle and …

In 1967, the Amitron concept debuted regenerative braking to the masses. This square three-seater was the first vehicle the use the kinetic energy of its commute to power its motor. Although the Amitron didn’t ever make it to production, the technology lived on. Regenerative braking is now in nearly every forerunning electric vehicle on the …

As you tap your fingers on the steering wheel of your electric car, you look around at all the other vehicles shuffling side-by-side in the city traffic you slowly navigate. A discussion on the radio is alluding to the potential carbon emissions of electric vehicles and suddenly you are listening in rapt attention. A heated …

Every vehicle is getting electrified these days. We can expect a new electric Ford F-150, all Jeep models will have hybrid options by 2022, the Honda E is coming to America, and much more. So, let’s take a look at one of the current options available, the Hyundai Kona Electric, to see how it compares. …

The new Tesla Model Y isn’t flashy, but it’s exactly what many consumers have been asking for. It’s larger than the Model 3 but more practical and less expensive than the Model X. However, as is often the case with new first-year cars, the first Model Ys have reportedly been delivered with defects. And unfortunately, …

It’s no secret that electric cars are incredibly fast. Compared to gasoline-powered cars, electric cars generate massive torque without revving their motors. This means they can sprint off the line. The Tesla Model X SUV can go 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, for example, while the Porsche Taycan Turbo S can do it in 2.4 seconds. …

Even before it unveiled the plug-in hybrid Wrangler, Jeep was already planning on going electric. Naturally, we assumed the first electric Jeep would be a car or SUV. However, modern mobility doesn’t only involve cars. And, as Fox has proven with its shocks, automotive off-road tech also works with other forms of transportation. Although electric …

As automakers like Audi, Jaguar, and Porsche start to add electric cars to their lineups, some issues still remain. Most are centered around EV batteries, specifically their design and support. Current fast-charging infrastructure remains somewhat spotty, which forces companies to make larger and more expensive battery packs. And incidents like the Porsche Taycan fire aren’t …

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 …

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 …

Potentially lawsuit-inspiring grille aside, specific details on the upcoming GMC Hummer electric truck have been relatively sparse. But we don’t have to wait until Fast and Furious 9 for more info. At a recent presentation to GMC dealers, GM President Mark Reuss revealed some new information about the electric Hummer. And it appears the Hummer …

Dirt bikes can be a great introduction to motorcycling. They’re easy to repair, and not quick enough to really get you into trouble (apart from the racing versions). But, they’re generally not street-legal, which means you’ll have to haul them to a trail or course. Some touring bikes can go off-road, but they’re really more …

Ahead of this year’s Super Bowl car commercials, the trailer for Fast and Furious 9 finally dropped. Up until now, the only thing we’ve really known about the film is a few of the cars that will appear in it. The trailer, though, has already revealed quite a few things about FF9’s contents. However, something that …
