This has been an active week on the car recall front as General Motors recalled 3.5 million trucks and SUVs for braking system problems. Meantime, Nissan is having its own braking system problems.

Overall across the globe, EV sales are up, and the future looks bright. But in the U.S. recent changes in national fuel economy and smog requirements have caused EV sales to drop here. Tesla seems to be the only U.S. automaker who is not holding back, and their growing sales numbers show that many buyers want EVs.

The Japanese automaker claimed the crown for best-selling first-generation EV, but the 2019 Nissan Leaf fails to capitalize on the foundation it laid.

Subaru is making progress with their interiors, but they aren’t quite there yet.

Will a new Mitsubishi Raider mid-size truck share the new Nissan Frontier platform?

Public charging, replacing, and upgrading an ion battery to a BEV apparently got a little easier and maybe even cheaper to do when two startups recently announced they inked a deal to combine their services onto one menu. Fenix Power and ChargeShare, two young companies worth keeping an eye on, are looking to make BEV ownership easier, cheaper, more accessible, and convenient, and believe they’ve found a way to bridge both the new sales and after market parts arenas in the BEV industry.

I start another mini-series of stories, this time “Life After Leaf,” of several things that can happen when you trade in your Nissan Leaf car, if not the tiny battery from a PHEV or from a smaller ranged BEV, to be repurposed or recycled into something else. In my quest to find electric campers for my social media base, I find this great caravan that uses juice from old Leaf batteries.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: Extreme weather driving has taken a toll on electric vehicle ranges as we watch BEV owners struggle to stay charged through the winter, their Tesla Model 3 door handles thaw, while the rest watch and learn from their triumphs, trials, and mistakes. I like to say “less is more,” but when it comes to extreme weather driving and batteries, more is more, tiny is workable, keep it plugged in if its 20° F or less, keep it cool over 95° F, and be prepared with options regardless.

The morning after a winter storm you find that your car, truck, or crossover is vibrating like crazy. Don't panic. It could be this simple cause and it has a simple remedy.

The leader of Nissan and Renault has been arrested after an internal investigation.

Consumer Reports ranked a number of different automated driving systems and gave Nissan's ProPILOT Assist points for keeping drivers eyes on the road.

If there's one thing that few electric vehicle supporters talk about it is the problems with speedy charging stations. The stations not only generate heat but there is also the potential of fires. Granted, the manufacturers will control the problems, but, how much can they do it?

The 2018 Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup could be the best truck value in America. See why it’s a good choice even though it’s outdated.
