I just wrapped up a visit with my auntie and uncle in Kauai. They want to purchase either a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or electric (EV) subcompact - midsize SUV/crossover. My family are most concerned about seating position, cargo and passenger volume, and adequate ground clearance. To help them and others looking for similar vehicles at somewhere near the average price of a new vehicle, I have collected information on all such vehicles currently or soon to go on sale in the U.S (by end of 2023).

This week, Volvo released some images that show its vision of what a typical home with an electric vehicle might look like. We report Volvo’s thoughts and show the images the company offered.

Kia has revealed the pricing of their new EV6 for the U.S. market and the good news is that it has a lower starting MSRP, at $40,900, than almost every other compact EV SUV currently for sale. Only the VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (when the RWD base model goes on sale) are priced lower than the EV6, and only a tad lower at $40,760 and $39,700 respectively.

The Ford Mustang Mach E is no slouch on the track. Even its non GT version puts most SUVs to shame with a blistering 5.1-second 0-60 and its GT Performance Edition tears down the track with an even more impressive 3.5 second sprint from stop to 60 miles per hour. With such speeds, how does it compare to its competition like the Polestar 2, XC40 Recharge, muscle cars, like my Challenger, or even the Jeep Wrangler 4xe?

Consumer Reports is one of the first private owners in America with a Polestar battery-electric vehicle. Watch as the group struggles to find anything good to say about this vehicle.

If you still want a premium station wagon, they do exist. Volvo's 2020 V60 T5 AWD Cross Country proves it.

From fake grilles to wasted space, all-electric models from legacy automakers often fail to make the most of EV design potential. The Volvo XC40 Electric shows signs that this is starting to change.

Consider this author a convert to the Volvo thing. Here's why.

Volvo Cars N.A. has recalled more than 40,000 2016 XC90 crossovers and 2019 S60 to fix coolant and suspension problems. In the coolant problem, a cracked coolant pipe may leak into the catalyst heat shield, causing a fire. In the suspension problem, rear toe link nuts may not be tightened properly, resulting in handling problems.

Volvo’s XC60 has a number of unusual design features. Here’s a quick peek at a vehicle that bucks the mainstream.

Here’s another ex-Ford that got spit out by the blue oval to go on with life and do better without them, since partnering up with Chinese Geely, Volvo is whipping out some amazing products even a new division, and the baby XC40 electric is a prime example. A BEV competes with Jaguar iPace, Audi eTron, and Tesla Model X, all at Model 3 prices. Another ex-Ford in your future. Not bad!

Polestar unveils it’s second model, this time instead of a coupe it’s a sedan in the same segment as Tesla Model 3 with specs to take it on, but wonder if it matches the corporate objective of a performance brand.

Uber's safety driver was a convicted felon. Uber hires felons on purpose. Here's what the company says.
