With vehicles like the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan being able to charge several miles worth of power in a single minute, the era of range anxiety appears to be approaching its end. Many potential owners felt that the long charge times required for many electric vehicles were prohibiting them from purchasing one, but as fast charging stations pop-up across the world, that may be less of an issue.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's favorite vehicle/Tesla and daily driver has been the Model S. And now with the launch of the Plaid variant Musk seems unable to hold back his excitement and now claims the Plaid Model S can accelerate 20% quicker than gravity.

The Audi E-Tron GT, new in 2021, is a stunning EV. While related to the Porsche Taycan, the E-Tron GT also features Audi’s fabled Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi has made the E-Tron GT with the driver in mind and it shows. My friend has been driving Ford Mustangs for the last 20 years, but he’s considering swapping to an EV thanks to the E-Tron GT, and here’s why:

Elon Musk Tweeted recently that we should just skip the video games and movies and go straight to the sequel. What does he mean by this?

A quick peek at the most recent news on Lordstown Motors makes the company's future look bleak.

Toyota, as a brand built a reputation of reliability in the 80s and 90s. The 2000s seemed a little rocky for them, with vehicles like the Solara and Venza not being the star performers that companies hope for. Regardless of their foibles, the Japanese automaker has managed to regain a lot of that reliability cred. The RAV4 is one of Toyota’s most popular choices and hopefully a BEV version will be on the way soon.

In May, 2015, I had the honor of having my first Tesla car ride. It was in the original Tesla roadster with a friend in California. Let's talk about the Tesla Roadster then, now, and in the future.

Brandenburg State Office for Environment has confirmed Tesla's decision to add a battery plant to the Giga Berlin plans will necessitate a second public review and possibly a public hearing.

When Toyota brought out the Prius two decades ago, the small, efficient vehicle carved out a niche and a cult following for itself. The RAV4 Prime has earned respect in its own right as well with the plucky hybrid cross-over being a very quick grocery getter. For a company that was so early to adopt electric technology, they seem hesitant to swap over fully. Even Dodge seems more excited to make the swap.

According to rumors, Tesla is planning to export made-in-China Model Ys to European customers. Model Y deliveries in Europe could begin as soon as the beginning of Q3 2021.

We compare and contrast the known similarities and differences between the Lexus NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle and the Toyota RAV4 Prime PHEV. Check out our comprehensive comparison/contrast chart.

Lexus has just launched an updated NX crossover. The big news is that the NX now comes as a plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle. You will also want to know about the infotainment system setup and tires.

25 lucky folks have gotten their Tesla Model S Plaids. I can’t imagine the thrill. I’d have to guess It would be similar to what Ford’s CEO Jim Farley felt behind the wheel of the Mustang Mach E 1400. When Porsche says the Taycan will sprint you to 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds, but you get there in 2.4, it’s probably pretty fantastic, too.

We have some stunning areal footage from up above Giga Shanghai, from YouTube user Jason Yang. It's impressive the sheer amount of infrastructure required for this Giga factory.

With Tesla’s spectacular Model S Plaid event and Ford’s Maverick reveal, it can be hard to remember that we’ve been suffering a shortage of both new and used vehicles. Today, we got sightings of both a Spy-shot Clad Rivian R1S, and a show-room floor Ford Mustang Mach E in the wild. I’d like to think that at least some of the waiting for deliveries on ordered vehicles may finally be coming to an end.

The HUMMER EV and any Cadillac EV will likely have Super Cruise installed. Tesla has recently started offering paid trials for FSD, and Volkswagen has recently bandied about the concept of offering vehicle autonomy as a premium hourly service.

Tesla is having a Model S Plaid event tonight at its Fremont, CA, factory at 7PM PST. There hasn't been a lot of updates on what is going to be shown here besides the Model S Plaid and I believe Tesla has a chance to surprise on the upside.

Tesla has raised Plaid Model S price by $10,000 hours ahead of the delivery event. This makes earlier rumors suggesting 350KW V4 supercharging and 4680 cells being announced at the delivery event more likely.

A few months ago, Jeep provided us with the Magneto concept vehicle, a fully electric, 2-door Wrangler. Today, Jeep brought the Magneto back in a witty response to the trending #Magneto on Twitter. Lets take a look at this spectacular off-roader and what could be coming to a trail near you!
