Joe Parker — Tue, 16 May 2023 00:05:19 GMT

It was only a few years ago that if you wanted a zero-emissions midsize or large luxury sedan, the only real option was the Tesla Model S. But just in the past few years, a whole new host of automakers are breaking into the segment, including the world’s leading luxury automakers and some newcomers to the fray. The Porsche Taycan made its debut in 2020, and the Audi E-Tron and range-leading Lucid Air hit the market for the 2022 model year. For 2023, the BMW i7, Mercedes-Benz EQE, and Genesis Electrified G80 have also joined the list of options for buyers.

Everything You Need To Know About The Alpine A290_β Hot Hatch Concept

Martin Morales — Mon, 15 May 2023 18:00:19 GMT

Alpine Cars is a French brand, part of the Renault Group, and "at the forefront of innovation." Founded in 1955, we're talking French-style sports cars. In 2017, the company reinvented the A110, offering several variants in the original model, GT, S, and R trims. By 2021, Alpine Cars, Renault Sport Cars, and Renault Sport Racing, had all joined forces under the Alpine flagship. Last year at the Paris Auto Show, the automaker revealed a concept called the Alpenglow. This vehicle runs on a hydrogen combustion engine and looks like something from the movie Tron. Alpine has "competition in its DNA," winning recent World Endurance Championships, along with the Le Mans 24 Hours race. Its vehicles even have Formula 1-inspired bits throughout its design. Though the A110 is all it currently sells, it's clear that Alpine is very forward-leaning, and that's reflected in the current project. Titled "'dream garage,'" the brand's next vehicle range will consist of 100 percent electric vehicles, that are sporty, exclusive, and futuristic. The A290_β Hot Hatch concept blends Alpine's thinking with what's to come.

Ebenezer Ugorji — Mon, 15 May 2023 15:01:19 GMT

Electric vehicles have been around for many years, but they have only recently started to gain more traction in the market. They offer a lot of advantages compared to conventional gas-powered cars.

Federico Alcala — Mon, 15 May 2023 12:00:19 GMT

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has quickly become one of the most popular electric SUVs on the market and there are plenty of reasons for it. However, even if the Ioniq 5 is a top-notch vehicle that can compete with luxury SUVs as well as more affordable options, it is also true that there are still other electric SUVs out there that may be better suited for specific needs.

On its 25th anniversary, the Tokyo-based multinational automotive manufacturer launched the all-new Toyota Sienna Hybrid. Toyota has integrated the same rationale of the older model and carried it forward to the hybrid version.

With No EV To Show For, Where Does Infiniti Go From Here?

Theodoros Georgiou — Sun, 14 May 2023 15:00:18 GMT

Nearly all brands have now come up with at least one electric vehicle in their lineup. There is no guarantee that the future is electric; however, manufacturers are trying to get to know this new technology better just in case vehicles of the future do end up as EVs. Infiniti, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to pay attention to modern car trends. As you may be aware, Infiniti is a brand that has been silent lately. With a lineup mostly composed of old models, the company has sort of begun a downhill slumber towards failure which is only being exaggerated by its lack of electric vehicle efforts. Infiniti is one of the very few mainstream brands that hasn’t come up with an electric vehicle yet. If the company wants to survive in the upcoming years, some drastic measures will need to be taken.

10 Things To Know About The Ram 1500 REV

Federico Alcala — Sun, 14 May 2023 12:01:18 GMT

The EV industry is close to receiving one of its most eagerly awaited promises: the Ram 1500 REV. This truck represents the first-ever light-duty electric vehicle from Ram, and it is set to make waves in the market when it is released at the end of 2024, although there is a possibility that it could be delayed until 2025. In other words, the Ram 1500 REV is a highly anticipated release that is generating a great deal of excitement around the world of EVs. Ram is a well-known brand that has a reputation for building powerful, imposing vehicles that are designed to tackle tough jobs and handle rough terrain with ease. With the introduction of the Ram 1500 REV, the company is set to push the boundaries of what is possible in the electric truck market.

Toyota Is Making A Manual For Hybrids, And Here’s Why It Could Be A Game Changer

Isaac Atienza — Sat, 13 May 2023 22:00:18 GMT

Electrification has effectively put manual transmission in limbo. Most pure electric cars only need a single-speed transmission (though Porsche's Taycan has a two-speed gearbox), and even most electrified internal combustion engines (ICE) come with an automatic since it'll be incredibly complex if you blend the brains of a computer that decides whether to drive in gas or electric with the human interaction needed in actuating a clutch. More rudimentary mild hybrids with an integrated starter generator (ISG) do come with manuals, but most true hybrids often don't come with such a transmission - the last one being the CR-Z.

10 Battery Technologies Currently In Development

Ebenezer Ugorji — Sat, 13 May 2023 20:00:18 GMT

As the electric vehicle technology continues to advance, batteries are becoming more crucial than ever. In the past decade, advances in battery technology have already enabled electric vehicles to travel further, charge faster, and become more affordable for consumers. Battery technology is rapidly evolving, with new and exciting developments around the corner. Current battery technologies which were breakthrough at the beginning are beginning to offer limited performance and require frequent charging. Today's lithium-ion batteries, which is the most common type used, can only hold up to a few hundred watt-hours per kilogram, and this makes it difficult to engineer devices that can last long enough without having to recharge. With these other battery technology advancements, scientists are looking to come up with results for more efficient, lighter, and safer batteries that can hold more charge and last longer. With newer battery alternatives, car manufacturers are looking into making battery packs lighter in weight, have higher energy densities to store more charges and provide longer ranges, charge faster without causing battery degradation, and be recyclable to improve sustainability. Battery technology is the most critical section of electric vehicles today, and the continuous evolution of batteries will continue to transform the industry.

Why The Jeep Recon EV Isn’t A Real Jeep

Martin Morales — Sat, 13 May 2023 18:00:19 GMT

Since the 1940s, starting in the combat zones of WWII, Jeep has made a legendary name for itself in the realm of off-roading. Enthusiasts in this scene will take a number of rigs off the beaten path stemming from the Jeep brand, including J10 and J20 trucks; old and new Gladiators; original Willys and CJs; YJ, TJ, "LJ," JK, and JL Wranglers; XJ Cherokees; and Comanche compact pick-ups. Many of these are based off of the same platforms and drivetrains, with tweaks and improvements across the decades to improve capability. For example, the YJ moved away from the V-8s of the CJ, ushering in the famed H.O. 4.0-liter inline-six engines. These were carried into the next-gen TJ, which then ditched the YJ leaf spring suspension, for a four-corner coil setup. As such, the TJ is considered by many as the best outta-the-box Wrangler one can get, and called the last of the "real Jeeps," for the JK ushered in the first four-door Wrangler.

10 Most Powerful Electric SUVs

Alina Moore — Sat, 13 May 2023 15:01:18 GMT

In 2015, Tesla launched the Model X as the world’s first electric SUV. It was initially offered in 60D trim with a combined 328 horsepower and a range of only 200 miles. Things have changed a lot since then, both for Tesla and for the electric SUV world, and we can now talk about electric SUVs with more than 1,000 horsepower under the hood and supercar-like performance figures. And while Tesla started the game, a lot of other makers have joined the party, most of them with the intention of offering us the most powerful vehicles in the world. Lotus, for example, is one of the latest newcomers to the EV market, and its Eletre R SUV promises to be the fastest dual-motor pure electric SUV in the world. But there is a lot more than that. Here’s the list of the most powerful electric SUVs in the world.

Chevrolet Equinox EV vs Blazer EV: Which One Should You Buy?

Federico Alcala — Sat, 13 May 2023 12:00:18 GMT

The Chevrolet Equinox EV and Blazer EV are two highly anticipated EVs that are sure to turn some heads and may even compete with each other. As both models are produced by Chevrolet, they share many commonalities in terms of technical and aesthetic features. However, there are also differences between the two models that may prove to be crucial when deciding which one to purchase in the future. Of course, personal preference and budget will ultimately be the deciding factors when choosing between the Equinox EV and Blazer EV, but there are several other factors you should consider before making your final decision. These may include things like size, range, performance, and features.

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE: Performance, Price, And Photos

Joe Parker — Sat, 13 May 2023 00:00:18 GMT

Mercedes’ E-Class sedans have long been the utility players in the automaker’s lineup, providing the Benz level of luxury with a far more affordable price tag and slightly smaller dimensions compared to the S-Class. And that doesn’t appear to be changing as Mercedes marches toward its electric future. After debuting the 2023 EQS Sedan last year, Mercedes’ EQ all-electric division has rolled out the zero-emissions E-Class alternative, the EQE Sedan.

10 Reasons The New MG Cyberster Will Blow You Away

Dimitar Angelov — Fri, 12 May 2023 22:00:17 GMT

When it comes to the unenviable fate of car companies, the British automotive industry, arguably, has the most examples of that. Once boasting a plethora of iconic manufacturers, most of them have been defunct for some time, and almost all the ones that have remained are no longer British-owned. Bentley is owned by Volkswagen, Rolls-Royce and Mini by BMW, and since 2008, MG is Chinese-owned. Still, the brand, founded in 1924, boasts a rich history and its small, lightweight sports cars have become desired classics. While the brand, currently, offers sensible models, it confirmed the first sports car in a long time, the MG Cyberster, will be heading into production this year. The Cyberster is an important turning point for the British-Chinese carmaker, and here are 10 reasons why this is the EV sports car the industry needs.

Will You Dare To Drive BYD's Three-Wheel Supercar?

Benson Ojango — Fri, 12 May 2023 20:00:17 GMT

Chinese auto company BYD has set a new standard for electric cars with its BYD YangWang U9 three-wheel supercar. The sleek, sporty electric supercar premiered at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2023. And since then, it has been the talk of the town, elevating BYD closer to the levels of Tesla. In fact, going by its incredible features, the YangWang U9 will make the kinds of Tesla and many other Western automakers start playing catch-up. But that’s beside our main agenda of revealing how it would feel to drive the YangWang U9 all-electric supercar manufactured by BYD.

Why The Tesla Cybertruck Is Worth Waiting For

Theodoros Georgiou — Fri, 12 May 2023 18:00:18 GMT

Tesla is known for leaving us waiting but also for providing innovation within the automotive industry. When it comes to the Cybertruck, the company has already left people waiting; therefore, all that is left to do is to come up with innovations upon release. It has now been more than three years since the showcasing of the Cybertruck concept which is now very close to actual production. This is a vehicle that is promised to provide performance and features that the truck segment has never seen before. The features showcased in 2019 were groundbreaking and rumors suggest that since then, they have only gotten more impressive. Here's why the Cybertruck is worth the wait, while also mentioning some exciting news regarding its release.

10 Things To Know About The Lexus RX Hybrid

Ghazi Tiwana — Fri, 12 May 2023 15:01:17 GMT

The automotive industry is speeding towards electrification, but it is a gradual process. In addition to all-electric vehicles, manufacturers have introduced hybrid versions of existing models to their lineups, and the Lexus RX Hybrid is one such example. First introduced in 1998, the Lexus RX is a luxury crossover SUV that entered its fifth generation in 2022. The 2023 RX can be configured in 10 different ways, including five hybrid versions. The hybrid version combines a 2.4-liter Atkinson cycle engine with electric motors for a combined power output of up to 367 horsepower. For comparison, the ICE-only RX makes produces 275 horsepower through its 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Even though the top-of-the-line RX500h model has some impressive performance numbers, the RX is still a luxury vehicle more than a performance vehicle and this is reflected in how the chassis has been designed. The exterior has been completely redesigned for the new generation and the spindle grill is an even more prominent feature now. Since Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota, the RX shares a lot of characteristics with Toyota models in the same market segment, but dials the luxury features up a notch. Here are 10 things you should know about the Lexus RX Hybrid!

10 Alternatives To The Toyota RAV4 Prime

Alina Moore — Fri, 12 May 2023 12:00:17 GMT

For many people out there, the Toyota RAV4 Prime is the must have plug-in hybrid SUV, and there is no better alternative for it. And, in general, it’s a hard statement to refute. It offers a decent amount of power - a combined 302 horsepower - it is relatively fast for a model in its class - it needs only 5.5 seconds to run from 0 to 60 mph - and offers 42 miles of all-electric range. These are numbers that are very difficult to beat, especially in the RAV4 Prime’s class, but this doesn't mean there are no other better alternatives on the market.

The NEVS Emily GT Carries SAAB's Undead Spirit To The EV Era

Jeremy Horton — Thu, 11 May 2023 22:00:17 GMT

SAAB had a wild ride in the auto world, going from a solid reputation of safe, plain-looking, luxury vehicles, to owner General Motors Scuttling the division and then putting it up for sale. The new owners have since focused on an electric powertrain and have come out with a seriously impressive vehicle, called the Emily, using Protean motors and developed with some of the best minds from Saab’s past. The future looks uncertain for the company, but hopefully, this offering sneaks through to production, even if the company does not. Here’s what you need to know.

Everything We Know About The Porsche 718 Boxster EV

Theodoros Georgiou — Thu, 11 May 2023 20:00:17 GMT

The Boxster is Porsche’s entry-level sports car. It may not carry the iconic name and history of the 911; however, it certainly played a very important role in keeping the company afloat through its toughest years. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the company was struggling financially. In order to save the brand, Porsche came up with the Cayenne SUV and the more affordable Boxster. Since then, this is a vehicle that has been selling in good numbers; thus, providing the sports car company with the funding it needs to keep producing incredible machines. Even two decades later, the Boxster continues to be the success it was at the beginning; therefore, it would only make sense for it to become electrified. Official data from the manufacturer regarding the electric version have not been released yet, but we have plenty of spy photos to analyze. Let’s have a look.

Why You Should And Shouldn't Buy The Tesla Model X In 2023

Alina Moore — Thu, 11 May 2023 18:00:18 GMT

When first announced back in 2015, the Model X was the world’s first electric SUV. The SUV instantly became a huge success, and while in its first year, the company sold only 2,725 examples, in 2020, sales figures went up to 31,000 copies. Over the years, however, people realized the Model X is not exactly the electric SUV it is promised to be, and, it does in fact have a lot of issues. As a result, in 2021, Tesla sold only 7,306 Model Xs. The question is, with all the cool electric SUVs that are arriving on the market on a regular basis, is it still worth buying the Model X? It may be one of the most powerful, fastest SUVs in the world, but is it worth paying over $100,000 for a car with so many issues? Here are 10 reasons, the first five being why you should buy it in 2023 and the following five for why you shouldn't.

Why Lincoln's Days Are Numbered

James O'Neil — Thu, 11 May 2023 15:00:18 GMT

Lincoln apparently refuses to follow the rest of the car world into the post-gasoline future. As electric cars supersede internal combustion ones, Lincoln has yet to put an EV into production. It showed the Star concept EV in 2022, but hasn’t gone anywhere since. At this point, one can purchase a Corsair or Aviator plug-in hybrid crossover from Lincoln, but Ford has not dared to take its luxury brand any farther into the world beyond internal combustion. While Lincoln may announce grand EV plans in its press releases, it won't get much mileage out of its single concept vehicle if it has nothing on dealership lots.

Comparison: Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs Honda CR-V Hybrid

Federico Alcala — Thu, 11 May 2023 12:00:17 GMT

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and the Honda CR-V Hybrid are two long-standing and highly recognized models in the SUV market. Both vehicles have a well-deserved reputation for reliability and have been popular choices among car buyers for several years. Nevertheless, despite their similarities, these two vehicles have distinct differences that set them apart from one another. On one hand, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid has been a staple in the hybrid SUV market for several years, offering a smooth and efficient driving experience. On the other hand, the Honda CR-V Hybrid offers a comfortable and refined driving experience too, and has impressive cargo capacity, so it is a good choice if you need to transport large items or luggage.

Why Honda's Electric Future Doesn't Look Too Bright

Theodoros Georgiou — Wed, 10 May 2023 22:00:17 GMT

In a world slowly switching to electric, Honda seems to be left behind. However, this wasn’t always the case. Interestingly, Honda was one of the first companies to dip its toes into electrification. It first did it in the 1990s with the Honda EV Plus before releasing one of the first hybrid vehicles the world had ever seen - the Insight. A few years ago, the company also released the Honda E. This was mostly a city car, and its timeless looks and impressive interior technology grabbed the attention of the crowd. However, its price tag prevented it from becoming a major success. Since then, the company hasn’t made any real electrification efforts which may lead to trouble in the near future, especially when every other automaker already has a few EVs in its portfolio.

10 Things Tesla Needs To Do Maintain Its Dominance

Cortez Hunter Jr — Wed, 10 May 2023 20:00:18 GMT

Tesla Motors has dominated the automotive industry and disrupted the progression and permanence of the internal combustion engine since the beginning of the millennium. From the first generation Roadster, molded over the bones of a Lotus, Tesla pioneered the idea that maybe an electric car can be cool. So cool, that Marvel has modeled Tony Stark’s personality to loosely mimic that of Elon Musk, further boosting interest in his revolutionary electric car company. For every step forward taken by a competitor, Tesla is not only five steps ahead, it behaves as if competition is nonexistent. This automaker has broken the psychological barriers of those afraid of change. It has closed the gap between vehicles and electronics. Tesla has threatened powerful organizations that show resistance to making better environmental decisions. Tesla has also convinced the entire world that CEOs are just as worth paying attention to as our favorite music artists. The influence and growth of this brand are uncommon to witness and are worth a deep analysis. For a brand that has grown beyond the wildest expectations of skeptics turned customers, let’s look further into how Tesla can continue its legacy. Here are 10 things Tesla needs in order to maintain its dominance.

Everything You Need To Know About The Ford Explorer EV

Ibrahim Jamal — Wed, 10 May 2023 18:01:17 GMT

Ford recently unveiled its latest offering to electric car enthusiasts: the all-electric Ford Explorer EV. This mid-sized SUV will be built in partnership with Volkswagen. The Ford Motor Company has been encouraged by its recent success in the EV market by selling 61,575 EVs in 2022, which is only second to Tesla in the number of EVs sold in the U.S. This SUV is built on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, so you are very likely to see various similarities with other cars from the MEB platform, such as ID.4, ID. Buzz, Audi Q4 e-tron, Skoda Enyaq, and Cupra Born. The Ford Explorer will be an American car built in Germany to expand Ford's reach in Europe.

Why The Ford F-150’s Legacy Is At Risk In The EV Era

Brayden Wood — Wed, 10 May 2023 15:00:18 GMT

In the world of pickup trucks, the Ford F-150 has been the undisputed champion for nearly 50 years. Its combination of power and utility has resonated with enthusiasts across generations proving to be the leader in the truck market. However, with a new electrical era taking over the automotive industry, the F-150 faces its greatest challenge yet. With both innovative startups and mainstream rivals racing to create the superior electrical vehicle (EV), the competition allows no room for complacency or outmoded methods. Ford's ability to conform and evolve to the electrical revolution will dictate if the F-150's legacy will prevail or be left behind in the dust.

10 Alternatives To The Chevrolet Bolt EV And Bolt EUV

Alina Moore — Wed, 10 May 2023 12:01:18 GMT

The Chevrolet Bolt was the perfect example of what an affordable electric car for the masses really is. It’s not massive, though the Bolt EUV is a bit larger, with starting prices ranging from $26,500 to $27,800. The Bolt wasn’t meant to be a performance car, so its meager 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque is more than ample for a daily commute, as is the range of up to 259 miles. The Chevy Bolt, however, is being discontinued, so if you’re looking for that electric family car that won’t break the bank and won’t put you in your seat, you’ll have to start looking elsewhere. Fortunately, there are a lot of solid alternatives to the Chevy Bolt, some of which even have a little more pep in their step, so to speak.

This Italian Electric Hypercar Has Its Eyes Set On A Nürburgring Lap Record

Nacim Ourabah — Tue, 09 May 2023 22:00:18 GMT

While electric vehicles continue to sneak their way into mainstream use, many competitors in the field are racing toward prominence. Founded as recently as 2020, Automobili Estrema is already aiming to make history. The rising prospect of the automotive industry has set its ambitious eyes on the prestigious Nurburgring Lap Record. To that end, the Italian manufacturer vows to send its golden girl, the Estrema Fulminea, to Nurburgring, in hopes to dethrone the 750 horsepower Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which reigns supreme over the Electric Vehicle category.

Why The Honda CR-V Hydrogen Is An Important Product For "GM"

James O'Neil — Tue, 09 May 2023 20:01:18 GMT

Apparently, the reports of hydrogen’s death came too soon. Despite discontinuing the Clarity, Honda is not taking its toe out of the currently tiny hydrogen market. Instead, the company is changing its angle of market attack. Rather than trying to sell a hydrogen-powered sedan, Honda is switching its hydrogen efforts to far more lucrative family haulers. Furthermore, this is a collaborative effort between Honda and General Motors, two car companies that couldn’t be further apart in their image. General Motors stands to gain a lot out of this partnership, and here's how.

How The Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Will Change Pickup Trucks Forever

Ibrahim Jamal — Tue, 09 May 2023 18:00:17 GMT

After years of anticipation and tease from Toyota, the Tacoma Hybrid has finally been announced to be released in 2024. Toyota recently released a photograph of the new Tacoma, and it is flaunting the i-FORCE MAX badge, which means it will have the same hybrid powertrain as the Tundra. The Tacoma was in dire need of an upgrade, even though it has excelled in terms of sales in the States. Well, you just have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on the newest Tacoma as it is expected to go into production in the last quarter of 2023. The Tacoma has been one of the most reliable cars to come out of Toyota. This release will help Toyota dominate more than it already does and give tough competition to the Nissan Frontier, Ford Ranger Raptor, and the Chevrolet Colorado.

10 Solid Alternatives To The Tesla Cybertruck

Ebenezer Ugorji — Tue, 09 May 2023 15:00:18 GMT

One of the biggest advantages of the Tesla Cybertruck is its futuristic style. The sharp exterior angles and stainless steel exterior provide it with a unique and modern look. CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, claimed that it looked like something out of the movie Blade Runner. Then, there's performance. The top-of-the-line version of the Cybertruck can rocket to 60 miles per hour from a standing start in just 2.9 seconds irrespective of its weight. This is tremendously fast for any road-legal vehicle, let alone a pickup truck. Then throw in the fact that the Cybertruck is also a work truck. The Cybertruck can tow weights of up to 14,000 pounds and even carry a payload in its bed of about 3,500 pounds. In terms of range, the top-of-the-line Tesla Cybertruck has a range of up to 500 miles on a single charge. But while the Tesla Cybertruck certainly stands out from the crowd with its unique design and impressive power, it is useful to note that there are other electric pickup trucks that are worth their mettle as well. But ultimately, it comes down to the individual buyer's needs and preferences when it comes to purchasing an electric pickup truck.

10 Electric Vehicles That Are Not Worth Their Price

Ghazi Tiwana — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:01:17 GMT

Adding value means adding utility and practicality, and everyone has a different measure of value for money when it comes to cars. Some just want to get reliability, some want luxury and comfort, while others want the best performance per dollar spent. When it comes to EVs, this gets more complicated since EVs have some unique specifications and features. Unlike traditional vehicles that have been around for decades, the EV market is operating in uncharted waters, and this makes determining value even more difficult and, perhaps, controversial.

Joe Parker — Mon, 08 May 2023 23:31:17 GMT

The Hyundai Kona is a top choice for buyers in the subcompact crossover segment with its fun-to-drive personality and value prospect given its long list of standard features. Additionally, the Kona is offered in its supremely athletic “N” guise for those who want, effectively, a high-riding hot hatchback. And those looking to make the switch to all-electric power, or find another model in the segment, needn’t stray from the Kona nameplate with the Kona Electric forging into its fifth year of production.

Here's How Honda Plans To Take On The Kia EV9

Isaac Atienza — Mon, 08 May 2023 22:00:16 GMT

Japanese brands have been lagging behind the electric vehicle (EV) game. It's not a problem that's unique to Toyota which has always been known to resist EVs. Even Honda knows this, and at the recently concluded 2023 Auto Shanghai, the huge influx of innovative and radically-designed Chinese EVs made it realize how far behind it is in the world's biggest car market and the world's biggest EV market. That's also somewhat the case in North America because apart from the recently-unveiled Honda Prologue that borrows GM's Ultium platform and battery tech, it has no other EV available in our market - let alone one that it developed on its own.

Why The Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Will Be The Best Midsize Pickup Truck

Theodoros Georgiou — Mon, 08 May 2023 15:01:17 GMT

It is always incredible to see a non-domestic manufacturer dominate the American market in a segment that has been born in America solely for American buyers. The Tacoma currently sits as the best-selling mid-size truck in the USA despite its old age and dated components. A short drive in a 2023 Tacoma will quickly prove that its transmission is unrefined and slow, its engine old and inefficient, and many of its interior features dated. However, the tried and tested platform, off-road abilities, and cool looks draw customers to this vehicle year after year. Toyota is just about to reveal an all-new model and according to the teasers so far, we believe it is going to be a great one. In this article, we are going over why that is the case.

10 Cheapest Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles In 2023

Federico Alcala — Mon, 08 May 2023 12:00:18 GMT

PHEVs are becoming increasingly popular among car buyers as a great alternative to conventional gasoline-powered cars. These vehicles use a combination of an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, which makes them a unique and very versatile option. One of the key advantages of PHEVs is their ability to operate in electric-only mode for a certain distance, thanks to their battery packs, which are usually larger than those found in regular hybrids. It is rare to find a car model that is exclusively a PHEV, as most manufacturers tend to offer plug-in versions of existing models that originally used gasoline engines. This approach allows car companies to cater to a wider audience and offer a more diverse range of powertrains.

Why Toyota Will Rule The Car Industry In The Future

Eduardo Zepeda — Sun, 07 May 2023 22:01:15 GMT

Although Toyota is slow to switch to electrification, the company finally understands that the future of the automotive industry is electric cars. As a result, they recently announced they would create a specific electric vehicle platform for new fully electric BZ models including a sport crossover and a family SUV following their dismal, ill-fated BZ4X venture. Also, the resignation of Toyota's longtime president and CEO, Akio Toyoda, is a testament to the company's plans to regain automotive dominance.

Comparison: Toyota RAV4 Prime vs Lexus NX Hybrid

Alina Moore — Sun, 07 May 2023 20:00:17 GMT

With almost 400,000 examples sold last year, the Toyota RAV4 is currently one of the best-sold Toyota models and the best-selling compact crossover SUV. The SUV is offered with three different powertrains: gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid, and while the gas-powered model is on the top choices list for consumers, the plug-in hybrid - also known as the RAV4 Prime - is enjoying increased success. Built on the same platform with it, the Lexus NX aims at clients with more money that want to enjoy the same performance figures, albeit with a nicer and more luxurious interior. And while NX 450h+ sales are not as impressive as the Prime’s; things are changing over the year.

Why Tesla's Track Mode Might Get You In Trouble

Jeremy Horton — Sun, 07 May 2023 18:01:17 GMT

In 2017, Tesla unveiled the Model 3, and they have been making headlines ever since. From its eccentric CEO Elon Musk to the mind-boggling performance of the cars themselves, Tesla is the center of attention in the EV conversation worldwide. In March 2020, Tesla unveiled the “track mode V2” and it was a serious upgrade. The 2018 V1 has been widely regarded as a useless waste of coding, and it seems as though Tesla had something to prove with this latest update. If you're not careful, this could spell trouble.

Why We’re Glad The Chevy Bolt Is Being Discontinued

Abdullah Tariq — Sun, 07 May 2023 15:01:18 GMT

Wait, what? Is General Motors really discontinuing the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV? Especially The Chevrolet Bolt EV, which is the automotive manufacturer's most popular electric vehicle. Yeah, the one that serves as the preferred entry-level electric car for some and an affordable yet practical eco-friendly chariot for others. It might seem perplexing to some that one of the most successful American auto companies would suddenly retire its record-selling Chevrolet Bolt duo — the very revenue-driving electric vehicles that the GM CEO Mary Barra once praised as a "real game-changer" for both the company and the EV industry. But if we move past the affordability, respectable range, adaptability, and growing popularity of the Chevy Bolt EV or the SUV-inspired Bolt EUV, the discontinuation has the potential to spur further advancements in electric vehicles from GM and inspire competition to fill the void with even better-performing, safer, and affordable EVs. And while the Chevy Bolt pair enjoyed significant success in the market, let's not forget that these vehicles were not without their fair share of issues. By that, we mean real issues, particularly the ones that turned into a major crises for the company.

10 Reasons Why The YangWang U9 Should Be Taken Seriously

Federico Alcala — Sun, 07 May 2023 12:00:17 GMT

The global automotive industry has been transforming in recent years with a shift towards EVs. In this changing landscape, Chinese automakers have made significant strides, and one brand that is making waves is YangWang, the premium brand of BYD, one of China's most prominent car manufacturers which became the world's largest producer of plug-in hybrids some time ago. At the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition last month (April 2023), YangWang unveiled its latest creation, the U9, a fully electric supercar that is set to take the world by storm. While the car will undoubtedly find a market in China, it is clear that YangWang has set its sights on conquering the global market, particularly in Europe and eventually in North America.

10 Reasons Why The Mercedes EQS Is Better Than Other Electric Sedans

Qasim Khursheed — Sat, 06 May 2023 22:00:17 GMT

Long gone are the days when all the drama surrounding electric vehicles was only about range and efficiency. Having established their wheels on the road, innovations in the EV industry are now geared toward performance, comfort, and luxury. When we think of performance, we think of Tesla and Porsche, but what comes to mind when you think of luxury in EVs? We don't know about you, but for every car enthusiast out there, there's only one name that echoes luxury: Mercedes. Competing in a market with Tesla's Model S and Porsche's Taycan, Mercedes had to be bold, and it had to be daring. It had to be Mercedes. The 2023 Mercedes EQS is the electric cousin of the carmaker's S-Class. The EQS sets new standards for luxury, comfort, and style and is undoubtedly the king of luxury EVs. It's no wonder why drivers worldwide are eyeing this gorgeous machine and why we are too. Here are the top ten reasons the Mercedes EQS is better than other electric vehicles.

The New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid To Come With Some Significant Equipment!

Theodoros Georgiou — Sat, 06 May 2023 20:00:17 GMT

Up until the 2024 Tacoma is officially released, Toyota will be teasing images to up the crowd’s anticipation for the event. So far, we have seen some very interesting photos including those with the Trailhunter trim level upgrades, and some other shots that give away a rear coil suspension setup and the hybrid system which will make its way in the higher trim level vehicles. However, this week we got even more photos. Once again, these are mostly detailed shots, but they offer plenty of information to the trained eye. This time, the photos offer information related to significant drivetrain upgrades and a small entertainment addition which will make outdoor activities much more fun.

Here’s What Makes The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Better Than The Ioniq 6

Aliza Bilal — Sat, 06 May 2023 18:00:17 GMT

With the rapidly growing electric vehicle industry, automakers are consistently working on tweaking, improving, and innovating. What started off at Hyundai as a hatchback has now been followed up by newer models. After the Hyundai Ioniq 5 came the Hyundai Ioniq 6, and we are already in the making for Hyundai Ioniq 7. Without the Ioniq 5, there could not have been an Ioniq 6 and that’s on the Ioniq 6 essentially being a sedan version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Of course, the Ioniq 6 differs from the Ioniq 5 in several ways. Many believe the successor model in any series, by proxy, is always better than its predecessor. However, this isn’t always the case.

Why The Toyota RAV4 Prime Is Better Than Every Other Plug-In Hybrid SUV Currently

Eduardo Zepeda — Sat, 06 May 2023 15:00:17 GMT

The 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime PHEV delivers exceptional fuel efficiency to the compact-SUV sector, and its electrified powertrain also has additional advantages, including improved performance. The Prime variant is faster than the non-hybrid RAV4 and even has a higher top speed than the 2.0-liter four-cylinder GR Supra, making it a must-have PHEV. Unfortunately, the RAV4 Hybrid's handling isn't as sharp as in a sports car; it's the opposite, with modest road manners that will not appeal to drivers looking for more athletic driving in their daily vehicles. But no one in the market for a family hauler would expect sports car performance in a compact SUV, so no complaints there.

10 Electric Supercars We Can't Wait to Drive

Cortez Hunter Jr — Sat, 06 May 2023 12:00:17 GMT

For automotive enthusiasts, now is the time to be alive. The automotive industry has reached the height of capabilities for the internal combustion engine. Because of the major push by environmentalists, enthusiasts are also witnessing a Renaissance for electric vehicles. EVs were once overlooked and forgotten as fossil-fueled cars became standard and gave the world classical, ground-breaking, unforgettable machines. Now that the internal combustion engine has run its course, electric vehicles are proving to reverse environmental issues and offer high-performance in a much quieter package. It is quite the challenge to envision a world without V-10 and V-12 supercars in music videos, movies, or on streets.

10 Reasons Why Elon Musk Might Be Right About GM

Federico Alcala — Fri, 05 May 2023 22:01:17 GMT

The battle between Tesla and General Motors is no secret, and it's a classic conflict between an emerging power and a consolidated one: the newer one usually prevails, but it is not an exact science. The intervention of the government and other factors further complicate the situation. However, beyond the social media comments and debates, Elon Musk might be right about GM nearing a new bankruptcy. Of course, markets are unpredictable, and things can change in an instant. Still, in a world that's moving toward exclusively electric cars, GM may have a challenging time adapting, not just because of its present situation but also because of its past.

Is It Time Toyota Reconsiders Its Stance On Hydrogen?

James O'Neil — Fri, 05 May 2023 20:01:17 GMT

People who remember the 1970s, when cars had vinyl roofs instead of horsepower, will be familiar with the oft-mentioned “California Emissions Package” which (depending on where one lived) was either a selling point or a threat. Today, one can purchase an entire California-specific powertrain: a hydrogen-powered car. (You can’t sell hydrogen cars where there’s nowhere to refuel them.) While there are hydrogen fueling stations in a few Japanese cities (and exactly one in Canada, in the city of Montreal), the market for hydrogen cars is nevertheless very limited. Toyota's actions show that the company is convinced that hydrogen will power the cars of the future, which will either prove prescient or end up as an interesting footnote in the history of discontinued cars.

Here’s What Really Makes The Polestar 4 EV Unique

Kelly Kisengo — Fri, 05 May 2023 18:00:18 GMT

Electric vehicles have quickly become a staple in the automotive industry. With their efficiency, low emissions, and all-around performance, it is easy to notice why so many people are switching from gas to electric power for daily transportation. To meet the increasing demand, top manufacturers such as the Swedish carmaker, Polestar, have begun creating their versions of electric vehicles. It’s clear that one of the most exciting new electric vehicles on the market today is the Polestar 4. Dubbed a “new breed” of SUV coupe, the newly upgraded model offers greater efficiency and performance than ever before. For those looking for a car with power, style, sustainability, and comfort all rolled into one, the Polestar 4 is a unique EV that should be considered.

10 Luxury Alternatives To The BMW i7

Alina Moore — Fri, 05 May 2023 15:01:17 GMT

BMW unveiled the i7 in early 2022 as part of its 45th anniversary and as an all-electric alternative to its very successful 7 Series. The i7 is powered by two electric motors - one driving each axle - that deliver a combined output of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque. It runs from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, while a 101.7-kWh battery pack provides a range of 318 miles of range. Priced from $119,300, the i7 offers you all the luxury you would expect from a model in this segment. However, the i7 is not the only luxury sedan out there, and for sure there are plenty of other options to choose from. Be it cheaper, with more power, or faster, there is one luxury electric sedan out there for everybody.

A Brief History Of Electric Vehicles

Kelly Kisengo — Thu, 04 May 2023 22:01:17 GMT

Gasoline and electric cars have long competed with one another. While the modern battle between these two must-have vehicles seems to be a fresh rivalry, their story goes back farther than you might think. Over 100 years ago, some of the same issues people face today - range anxiety, Tesla as the EV's "messiah", quick charging power stations, and battery fires were all too familiar among those early adopters of the electric car. To truly comprehend this ancient battle and the need to pursue more eco-friendly transport in the future, let's travel back through time to discover the past of EVs and all the efforts taken over centuries to make them a reality.

Chrysler Finally Joins The EV Party With The 300 Successor

Sharan Pillai — Thu, 04 May 2023 20:00:17 GMT

Chrysler has been a heavyweight in the automotive industry for nearly a century. Its ability to create muscle cars that symbolized passion skyrocketed Chrysler's fame over the years. Despite being a long-time player in the automotive industry, the Michigan-based carmaker is yet to make a substantial impact in the EV market. However, whether jumping on the bandwagon or realizing there's a piece of cake for everyone, Chrysler has finally announced its entry into the EV market with the successor of the iconic 300! Here's what the chapter might look like!

The History Of Toyota’s Hydrogen-Electric Technology

Isaac Atienza — Thu, 04 May 2023 18:00:17 GMT

When it comes to Toyota's electrification efforts, what you're most likely familiar with is its hybrid electric vehicles. After all, nearly every single Toyota on sale in the United States comes with an option for a hybrid or is sold exclusively as such like the pioneering Prius. But they haven't devoted their resources to hybrids alone. As part of its multi-solution approach to addressing climate change, the company also delved into the world of hydrogen energy. There are two types of hydrogen drivetrains, the hydrogen combustion engine (which is a more recent development by Toyota) and the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The former is basically an internal combustion engine that has been designed to combust liquid hydrogen instead of gasoline or diesel, while the latter uses hydrogen as a means to generate electricity. Here, we'll be focusing on the FCEV.

5 Plug-in Hybrid SUVs You Should Buy (And, 5 You Should Avoid)

Alina Moore — Thu, 04 May 2023 12:00:17 GMT

There are people out there who want to take their first step towards electrification but are not ready for the full deal just yet. For consumers like this, automakers have created plug-in hybrid models – which, in theory, should offer the perfect blend between a gasoline engine and a decent amount of full-electric range. The problem is, however, that not all the models out there succeed in this recipe, and not all of them deliver what they promise to deliver. So, if you are in the market for a plug-in hybrid SUV, these are the first five you should consider, and the five you should try to avoid – and not only because of the range they deliver.

Why The Nissan Hardbody Should Be Reborn As An Electric Pickup Truck

James O'Neil — Wed, 03 May 2023 22:01:17 GMT

The Nissan Hardbody pickup truck remains a common sight long after its discontinuation in 1997. Like the battered Toyota Tacomas from the previous millennium, Nissan Hardbody trucks continue to command “I know what I have” prices. The truck is as durable as the “Hardbody” name implies, and many of them are indeed still working hard without complaint (perhaps harder than the latest luxury F-150). No one driving a Nissan Hardbody ever said “Don’t scratch the bed liner!” As the company ends production of the full-sized Titan truck, the company has dropped hints that it may reintroduce a light-duty truck to its product line.

Tesla Reportedly Working On A Small Crossover Based On The Model Y

Ali Khan — Wed, 03 May 2023 20:00:17 GMT

The Tesla Model Y is the best-selling electric vehicle of all time. Just last year, it was fourth among the top 10 best-selling cars in the world and the top-selling EV in the U.S. Tesla's best-performing vehicle is now set to become the basis for the company's next generation of vehicles. According to industry insiders, Tesla is planning a small crossover based on the Model Y and targets production at four million vehicles a year by 2030. Meeting these production targets will help Tesla get close to the goal of producing 20 million EVs by the end of the decade. This is planned to be a cheaper model built on Tesla's next-generation platform which will help Tesla remain the leader in the electric vehicle market.

Why Solid-State Batteries Are A Distant Dream

Aliza Bilal — Wed, 03 May 2023 18:00:17 GMT

With the ever-growing awareness of how renewable resources are depleting from the earth, researchers have been on an agenda of constant innovation and the automobile industry isn’t any different. Another component on the agenda today is for scientists to find alternatives that allow them to curb the overall pollution caused by emissions. The automobile industry is a notable contributor to the air pollution we see in the world today due to its release of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. According to several studies, car emissions within OECD countries account for 55-percent of carbon monoxide, which is an incredibly harmful gas. With the need to do better for our planet came BEVs and HFCVs. Although, the need for creation and tweaking doesn’t just stop there. With that came the solid-state batteries for automobiles. Although quite promising, it seems that solid-state batteries aren’t at all feasible yet.

10 Best Electric SUVs For Families

Abdullah Tariq — Wed, 03 May 2023 16:00:17 GMT

As the world continues to embrace the electrification of vehicles and the quest for sustainable energy, the auto market has responded with an impressive array of options. We're talking about offerings that have been able to persuade even those traditionalist fans who were not ready to give up gas-guzzling vehicles. One such electrifying option - perfect for families seeking the ideal blend of comfort, style, and performance (with a dose of eco-friendliness) - is an electric SUV. These silent, spacious, and sustainable modern chariots have undeniably surged in popularity in a relatively short time. In fact, electric SUVs accounted for over half of global electric car sales in 2022 (happened for the first time ever). Also, there were over 400 electric car models in the global market in 2022, and 55 percent of them were SUVs — an impressive 40 percent increase from 2018.

Every Hybrid Model In Toyota's Lineup In 2023

Alina Moore — Wed, 03 May 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Toyota may have an impressive lineup of hybrid cars right now, but it was a very long road to get here. The company announced its first-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS) back in 1997, and put it into production in the Prius at the end of the same year. TSH II arrived in 2003 with major updates to performance and economy, and from there things just got better and better. So, as no surprise, by the end of 2007, the company had already sold over one million hybrid vehicles worldwide, and currently its hybrid lineup takes the lead on the market. Models like the RAV4 Hybrid and Prime, Prius and Prius Prime, and even the larger Tundra Hybrid are pushing Toyota to the top of the list of best-sold automakers in the world. Of course, its lineup is about a lot more than just the three listed above, and here’s a list of all the hybrid models you can currently get from Toyota.

Do You Remember The Genovation GXE?

Joe Parker — Tue, 02 May 2023 22:00:17 GMT

Entering the supercar fray is a risky proposition. When an automaker gets it right, it can reach legendary status. We now view Koenigsegg as firmly entrenched on the cutting edge of engineering and what is technically possible for a supercar. But there are far more examples of supercars or supercar manufacturers that make a big splash on arrival and fade into obscurity. There was plenty of excitement surrounding the Vector W8, Mosler MT900S, Ascari KZ1 or Vencer Sarthe, but they were soon forgotten for various reasons. Despite debuting in 2019, the Genovation GXE is another supercar that garnered a massive number of automotive headlines, but just a few years later, it’s been all but forgotten. Except maybe by those who dished out the better part of $1 million to purchase one. Interestingly enough, the GXE should be remembered as it serves, in a roundabout way, as the predecessor of the Corvette’s current electric push.

Here's How Electric Cars Are In The Way Of E-Fuels

Saif Tughlaq — Tue, 02 May 2023 20:00:18 GMT

As we strive to reduce carbon emissions, alternative fuels and technologies are gaining traction in transportation. However, electric cars have dominated the conversation, leaving e-fuels in the shadows. Despite significant investment in e-fuel research and development, their progress toward mainstream adoption is hindered by the popularity of electric cars. The battle between electric cars and e-fuels is not what you'd expect. It's not just about which one is more efficient or environmentally friendly. It's a clash of titans, a duel to determine the future of transportation. Will electric cars continue their reign and become the sole mode of transportation for the masses, or will e-fuels rise up and challenge the status quo?

Here's How The Toyota Prius Became The Best Hybrid Possible

Bruno Maia — Tue, 02 May 2023 18:00:18 GMT

The automotive giant Toyota seems to be slowly but surely catching up with the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) trend. In the United States, about one-quarter of Toyota sales are BEV-related, taking into account battery, hybrids, plug-ins, and fuel cell vehicles. Some say Toyota should have acted sooner and more aggressively toward full electrification. And with good reason too. Toyota’s electrification plans can still be seen as conservative and not in line with the speed at which the market is moving, and new EV companies are gaining ground.

10 Reasons Why The Honda CR-V Hybrid Is The SUV To Get

10 Alternatives To The Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Alina Moore — Tue, 02 May 2023 12:01:17 GMT

The Highlander name has been around since 2004, and the hybrid went on sale shortly after in 2006. With over 200,000 units sold every year, the Highlander is not only one of the best-sold SUVs in the U.S., but also around the world. The current Highlander Hybrid combines a 3.3-liter V-6 along with an electric motor for a total of 243 horsepower. The SUV has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 36 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 36 mpg on combined cycle, and total range of nearly 600 miles - making it the most efficient model in the lineup. It also sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds - making it the most agile Highlander.

Here's a list of the best options you have at the moment, both cheaper and more expensive than the Highlander Hybrid.

Should You Convert Your Classic Car Into An EV?

Saif Tughlaq — Mon, 01 May 2023 22:00:17 GMT

As electric vehicles gain popularity, a fascinating new trend among classic car enthusiasts is emerging: the conversion of traditional gas-guzzling cars into sleek and sustainable EVs. It's an exciting time for innovation, and classic car owners are embracing it by retrofitting their beloved vintage vehicles with cutting-edge electric motors. In recent years, this innovative and creative trend has captured the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. But what motivates classic car owners to make the switch to electric power? And is it worth it?

Here's Why We Can't Wait For The Acura ZDX

Aliza Bilal — Mon, 01 May 2023 20:00:18 GMT

A rapidly growing industry, the electric vehicle market is projected to have a worth of $823.75 billion by the end of 2023. Banking on the expeditious growth of the electric vehicle market, top car brands have begun to shift their focus from combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs). On the flip side, consumers have become massively aware of the pollution caused by car emissions and are actively seeking electric vehicles. Thus starts a cycle of more and more car brands to release their first-ever electric vehicle and Acura is no different. With Honda as its parent company, which itself is a mammoth within the electric automobile market in the United States, the market is eager for the Acura ZDX to hit the market.

Why The Toyota Highlander Is The Best Hybrid SUV In 2023

Abdullah Tariq — Mon, 01 May 2023 18:00:17 GMT

What A Honda And GM Alliance Could Mean For The Hydrogen Car Industry

Aliza Bilal — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 22:00:17 GMT

An industry that faced much skepticism in its initial term, the hydrogen car industry showed much promise in 2021 with record growth. With a lack of infrastructure for refueling and high prices, it seemed that this solution to creating zero-emission battery-operated vehicles had cracks in its foundation. However, cumulative sales reports at the end of 2021 reported a growth of 37-percent from the previous year with 12,272 units sold. When starting from scratch, any amount of sales growth would be great. However, what the sales reports won’t illustrate is that the sales of hydrogen fuel cell cars are significantly far behind that of battery electric vehicles. The hydrogen car industry, while indicating promising sales, could be in need of a big push. That much-needed push could very well be the joint venture of Honda and General Motors on a next-generation Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

Theodoros Georgiou — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 20:01:18 GMT

Also, just like a phone, it receives updates and can even be controlled via the device you have in your pocket. With this in mind, Honda has partnered with Sony to create an electric vehicle that may be game-changing. This vehicle is called the Afeela and it seems to feature new concepts and impressive technology. Let’s have a look at everything we know so far.

Ghazi Tiwana — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 18:01:18 GMT

Electrification is the future of the automotive industry, and everyone has accepted this at this point. Battery technology has come a long way in the past few years and this, combined with environmental regulations, means that almost every new car model being revealed these days is an EV. Veteran German car manufacturer Volkswagen introduced its ID program in 2016 to signify the transition toward electric cars. According to VW, ID stands for "intelligent design," "identity," and "iconic design.", and a lot of this is reflected in the car models revealed so far. After introducing the ID.4 electric SUV and the ID.Buzz electric minivan earlier, Volkswagen officially debuted the ID.7 fastback sedan at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2022 as its flagship electric car for the coming model years. The ID.7 will be available in 2024 and has some impressive specifications on paper. The base model will be powered by a single electric motor producing 282 horsepower and a claimed 0-60 mph time of 5.0 seconds. It will be offered in two battery sizes: a 77 kWh battery with up to 382 miles of range and a larger 86 kWH battery providing an impressive 435 miles on a single charge, both as per the WLTP cycle. The ID.7 has a lot going on for itself, and here are 10 things it really gets right!

And, when it comes to plug-in cars, the best and most reliable choices are – without a doubt – the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime and the RAV4 Prime, but there are a few other good options out there too.

The Chevy Bolt Is Dead: Were Its Recalls To Blame?

Joe Parker — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 20:00:18 GMT

Buying an EV in the U.S. is about to get a bit more expensive. In an investor call on April 25, General Motors announced production on the Chevrolet Bolt will end this year, serving as the death knell for the Bolt EV and slightly larger Bolt EUV.

Why Buick Is As Good As Dead

Brian Anderson — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 18:00:17 GMT

Technically, Buick is already on a death march as General Motors plans on taking the division all-electric in North America, and those EVs will bear the "Electra" badge, not Buick. There are other reasons to believe the 124-year-old American automaker is doomed, and it's related to its plans to ditch internal combustion engine cars entirely and electrify its lineup. There doesn't seem to be any strategy to transform Buick into an all-electric fleet in North America. It doesn't have any EV models ready for production, nor does it have a factory to produce the electric vehicles. GM wants Buick/Electra to be 100-percent EV by 2030 and claims the first all-electric vehicles will be available in 2024, but that looks like a statistical impossibility. With Buick sales in the dumps and no solid plan for EVs, it just might be as good as dead.

Tesla Model Y vs Polestar 4

Alina Moore — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 12:01:17 GMT

After being announced for the first time back in 2021 and caught testing for the first time back in 2022, the Polestar 4 coupe SUV made its debut at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, but sales won't start until later in 2024.

Why Equipping Solid-state Batteries Will Change The Nissan Ariya’s Future

Theodoros Georgiou — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 22:00:17 GMT

The Nissan Ariya has been on sale for some time now; however, sales don’t seem to be as high as expected. The Ariya joined the Leaf in Nissan showrooms as another electric vehicle choice in the Nissan line-up that offers more space and range than its smaller brother. Also, from a design standpoint, the Ariya has been made to fit the sporty and elegant look of modern SUVs. It has a sloping roof, a rear lightbar taillight arrangement, no front grille, and a slick look in general. This is a vehicle that has been highly anticipated and widely discussed. You might have even noticed that Nissan has done some heavy advertising as well, but their efforts don’t seem to be working sale-wise. However, we believe that an upcoming technological advancement might change this, and that comes in the form of solid-state batteries.

Why The Volkswagen ID.7 Is A Major Threat To The Tesla Model 3

Theodoros Georgiou — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:00:17 GMT

For many years now, Tesla has sort of been the lead manufacturer when it came to EVs. It was the company that made the EV mainstream and more approachable to the masses by including advanced technologies the world had never seen before. However, lately, things are starting to look a bit different. The high budgets and expertise of other manufacturers mean that more and more vehicles are being released that are just as good or even better than those of Tesla. The company isn’t in this game alone anymore and one of its latest rivals is VW. One could argue that VW is a bit late to the EV game and their first tries weren’t all that successful; however, with the all-new ID.7 things may change. Let’s have a look at why this is the case.
