It should come as no surprise that the entire lineup at General Motors is going to be electrified, and then ultimately all electric. But that doesn’t make the news any less exciting that the Corvette is going to be both of those things, with an electrified version coming as early as next year. In a […]

When you think of the Jeep brand, your mind likely goes to the lovable, and serious, off-road Wrangler. It’s the quintessential Jeep that has rolled off the assembly line in Toledo since 1941. But it’s not the most popular Jeep. The Jeep sales leader is the Grand Cherokee, and it’s new this year and quite […]

What do you think of when you think about the brand Toyota? Maybe you think about reliability, which the company has long been known for? Maybe you think about how they have some fun cars, like the upcoming GR Corolla, the Toyota Supra, or the GR86? Maybe you think about some its hybrids, like the […]

What should a car sound like? Prior to the adoption of electric vehicles, cars sounded like their motors. Maybe there was a tuned exhaust? Maybe they had a backfire brap when the driver downshifted?

On April 20 of this month, Lincoln is going to show the world what it’s been working on in terms of electrification.

So how do you start to try tow in over those customers as your company moves to all electric models? If you’re General Motors — more specifically GMC — you revive an old […]

DC fast charging needs to improve. There’s enough articles on the internet and enough experiences from people who drive EVs to know that it needs to be better. But we also shouldn’t lose sight of the forest for the trees. Electrify America is working on improving its charging experience. That is all well and good, […]

One new feature of iOS 14 is an updated Maps app. With that app, drivers of EVs will be able to get smart routing based on their EV, charge rate, and distance to destination. If they’ll need to charge to make it, the app will direct them to a charging location. If that sounds a […]

So here’s a weird one. Our team of spy photographers caught the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring — that’s PHEV in Lincoln speak — out testing around the streets of Michigan.
