Public charging needs to improve for EV adoption to really go mainstream. Tesla understood this when it decided to deploy its own proprietary Supercharger network. While there are other players in EV fast charging, work needs to be done. Today, General Motors announced that it’s partnering with Pilot Company, the folks who own Pilot and […]

While we’ve already seen a few computer generated images of the “Electrified Streamliner” that is the Hyundai Ioniq 6, we haven’t received much information from Hyundai about the car. We recently attended a briefing on the vehicle, and have a bunch more information that you’re going to want to know about the second vehicle in […]

As part of the massive infrastructure bill passed by the Biden administration, a ton of money was set aside to help grow out the EV fast charging network across the country.

The Cadillac Lyriq is the new hotness from the luxury brand, and the company’s first dedicated EV. It’s quite good, at least based on our first impressions, so you’re probably thinking about ordering one.

One of the keys to Tesla’s success in North America is the proliferation and availability of the Supercharger network. Without it, it’s unlikely Tesla would be a success. But one criticism of the network is that it’s only available to Tesla automobiles. While that makes sense — Tesla spent the money after all — there […]

We know that the currently Lamborghini Aventador will be the last Lamborghini powered exclusively by a V12 engine. But the “exclusively by” is the key word there, because the replacement will likely also be a V12, with the help of a plug-in hybrid system. For exotic cars, going plug-in is a must. As cities ban […]

While we were sitting in the Cadillac Lyriq presentation at a resort in Park City, Utah, the product’s chief engineer was walking through the charging accessories that come with the car, and what are available, and it’s a lot. While Tesla is making the portable charging cable an optional extra, General Motors is shipping the […]

Channeling design cues from Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 debuts in Korea as the brand’s first electric sedan, with a phenomenal coefficient of drag and advanced technology. The Ioniq sub-brand is Hyundai’s all-electric offering, starting with the Ioniq 5 that we are fans of. We’re expecting a larger crossover, the Ioniq 7 […]

If you follow the automotive industry, you’ll know that Cadillac’s direction has be varied over the past few years. The company moved its headquarters to New York, then back to Michigan. But those days are over. Cadillac’s lineup is possibly the strongest it’s ever been, and it’s being spearheaded by its first electric car. The […]
