Carbon Revolution is in the business of making wheels. Carbon fiber wheels, to be exact. The Australian joint is responsible for some of the coolest wheels on OEM cars, including the wheels on the upcoming Chevrolet Corvette Z06. But with a future revolving around electricity, the company’s next big thing is electric pickup truck wheels […]

A refreshed Ram ProMaster van debuted at the 2022 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, with some key upgrades for those who purchase vans in that space, but it was also a chance for Ram to tease the new electric Ram ProMaster that’s coming in 2023. We sat down with Mike Koval, Ram Brand Chief Executive […]

Electric pickup trucks will quickly be filling up dealership lots. Rivian’s truck is already on sale, and a larger volume of Hummer EV buyers will soon have their trucks. F-150 Lighting is a few months away, and a Silverado competitor will be here next spring. The point is, the electric trucks are coming. Even if […]

When Jeep said it was going to make a plug-in hybrid version of the Wrangler, it told that world that it would be installing EV charging stations at key trails to help Jeep owners off-road without fuel.

Winter weather testing is something that every automaker does. There are proving grounds north of the Arctic Circle, in northern Michigan, and in various parts of Canada and Alaska. This extreme climate testing is a crucial part of validating a new product and to ensure that it’ll work wherever the owner of the vehicle decides […]

While the world waits with bated breath (probably not) for Tesla Cybertruck production, the other automobile makers who have said they’re going to are moving forward with their plans to actually put a truck on sale. Today’s example is Ford. When Ford announced the F-150 Lighting, the company said it’d be on sale by the […]

You are all going to need to bear with me for a second. When Kia first announced its newest electric car, the EV6, it raised the ire of the late 1990s alternative rock group Eve 6. In fact, they launched a Twitter campaign to “pay them.” While it’s all in good fun — at least […]

We readily admit that the hubbub around Ford’s electrification plans is focused around the upcoming F-150 Lighting.
