If you’re in the market for a Tesla Model S, or you already own an older Model S, is it worth it to opt for the new Model S Plaid? There are really two different questions here, and perhaps they have different answers depending on who you talk to. Honestly, the answer to these questions

Tesla is the leading EV maker in the world. For years, skeptics have agreed it’s only a matter of time before that changes. With all the compelling products coming from legacy automakers, Tesla simply won’t be able to stay on top. However, despite forecasts, as well as many other EVs arriving to market, Tesla has
Right to repair is so important for cases like this. Aside from range, the lack of charging infrastructure in many areas, and the high upfront cost, many people are concerned about buying an EV due to battery degradation or battery-related issues.

Here is an interesting report from the field in Norway, where Bjørn Nyland visits the Shell Nebbenes Vest fuel station to find out its electrifying transformation. It’s actually one of the two Shell stations (the second is Shell Klett) that recently were upgraded with Kempower S-Series fast chargers, operated by Recharge network (one of the
Tesla has cleverly gotten around a New Mexico law that prevented them from selling and servicing their cars in the state. Up until now, New Mexico Tesla owners have had to drive out-of-state to get their cars serviced. There were also no Tesla stores in the state. Why? Because, like a number of other US
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law a bill that effectively makes the sale of new gasoline-powered automobiles illegal within the state after 2035. On Wednesday, the state’s new governor took the brave step of copying California in deciding that all new passenger cars and light-duty trucks be zero-emission models within the next 14 years. Though she

The second-generation of the hydrogen fuel cell Toyota Mirai has received the maximum five-star rating in the Euro NCAP safety tests.

The Euro NCAP recently had an opportunity to test one of the few new Chinese all-electric models, the NIO ES8, which enters the Norwegian market first (customer deliveries to start soon).

Elon Musk has told Tesla employees that he completely agrees with a recent price prediction from investment management firm Ark Invest. The New York-based company gave Tesla a $3,000 price target for 2025, believing by then the automaker will be delivering between 5 and 10 million vehicles per annum. This is a sharp rise from
Over eight months after first deliveries commenced, numerous Mustang Mach-E owners are now posting online about their long-term experience with Ford’s electric crossover. One such owner is YouTuber New Ride Reviews, who picked up his Standard Range RWD Mach-E a number of months ago. Due to his long commute he has driven almost 9,000 miles
NIO reports sales of 5,880 electric cars in August (up 48% year-over-year), which is noticeably less than in the past several months. The Chinese company explains that the semiconductor supply chain constrains manufacturing (especially ES6 and EC6 models). That’s a big issue as NIO was on the rise and according to the latest update, the

BYD‘s all-new Dolphin model, also known as the EA1 (code name), is one of the stars of the 2021 Chengdu Auto Show in China. It’s the first model based on the new BYD e platform 3.0 architecture and also the first model in the new Ocean series. In the coming years, we will probably see
Cadillac’s standard color palette for most of its model is quite conservative, usually consisting of several shades of silver, some blacks and some very restrained colors.

Since windshields play such an important part of safety in our vehicles, it’s important to quickly address any damage they suffer, no matter how small. The good news is that most insurance companies provide coverage for damaged windshields but knowing the exact out-of-pocket costs you can expect to pay comes down to different variables. To
With the recently-inflated used car values, options for used electric vehicles are slowly waning out of the sub-$20,000 segment. Earlier this year, you could have easily purchased a certified pre-owned 2018 BMW i3 for around $17,000. Now, with the higher used car prices, the same car would go for thousands more, easily breaching the $20,000
Cupra, the new electrified performance sub-brand of VW-owned Spanish manufacturer Seat, has just released the first teaser of what it says will eventually morph into an urban performance car.
