We review: The Rag Company drying and detailing towels

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed washing and detailing my personal cars. Over the years, I’ve tried all sorts of new products in hopes of finding something that works better and makes the job easier. It took me way longer than I care to admit to realize the value of proper […]

EVIQO Level 2 home EV charger hands-on review

When I first started testing and evaluating home EV chargers in the search for the best ones to recommend to our readers, one of my favorites was the compact Wallbox Pulsar Plus.

Emporia Pro Level 2 home EV charger hands-on review

In April 2023, we had the opportunity to evaluate Emporia’s Level 2 home EV charger, which is now known as the Classic model. Obviously, the $399 price tag (now $429) caught my interest; at the time, it was half the cost of some competitors while offering a similar list of features. I came away very […]

2022 Ford E-Transit first drive review: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, now electric

We readily admit that the hubbub around Ford’s electrification plans is focused around the upcoming F-150 Lighting. As the first mass market electric pickup, it’s obvious it’d be getting the attention. But when it comes to mass market electrification, Ford is hitting a different product first. That product? Transit. Part of a larger consolidation of […]

2023 GMC Hummer EV pickup review: Breaking all the rules

With 1,000 horsepower, a manufacturer-estimated 329 miles of range and more bells and whistles than a casino full of slot machines, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup can take you just about anywhere, from the gnarliest mountain-top trails to 350-kilowatt DC fast chargers, from cross-country road trips – hands-free, courtesy of Super Cruise – to stoplight […]

2024 Toyota bZ4X AWD Limited review: Significantly improved, still hard to recommend

For 2024, Toyota made a few small refinements and one major enhancement to its bZ4X all-electric SUV. Depending on the trim level, there’s more standard equipment than before and the all-wheel-drive model’s battery pack DC fast charges dramatically quicker than before. Unfortunately, despite these meaningful enhancements, many of the bZ4X’s inherent shortcomings have not been […]
