The new Honda Motocompacto is a 21st-century take on the automaker’s folding scooter of similar name from way back in the 1980s. A first- and last-mile transportation solution, this cute-as-a-button suitcase on wheels is intended to bookend the automaker’s nascent lineup of eco-friendly all-electric vehicles, though it’s also fun to ride and looks fricken cool, […]

There’s plenty to like about 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4Matic. This compact, all-electric SUV has upscale appointments, offers some great features and is a handy size, neither too big nor too small. But despite having plenty of upsides, you probably shouldn’t buy one of these utility vehicles, and here’s why. The EQB is basically a […]

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV is the first all-electric performance utility vehicle from the go-fast sub-brand, and perform it does, with up to 677 horsepower on tap. But aside from brute force, there’s plenty that separates this AMG model from more mainstream versions of the EQE SUV and closely related EQE sedan. Dressed to thrill, […]

I recently reviewed a Bugatti-branded electric scooter, an easily transportable last-mile mobility solution that’s more fun than you’d ever imagine. This motorized device is perfect for getting around densely packed urban areas, jetting from the bus stop to your office building a couple miles away, however, it’s far less useful for longer-distance trips. If you […]

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV does a lot of things very well, which shouldn’t be a surprise since this all-electric utility vehicle is basically an EQE sedan that was left to rise like bread dough in a warm corner. Thanks to its pumped-up body, this SUV offers more comfort and space than its four-door sibling, […]

The Ford F-150 Lightning is one of our favorite electric vehicles here at EV Pulse because it does just about everything extremely well. But what about the base Pro model? Is this stripped-down truck a rolling penalty box or something actually worth buying? The answer might surprise you. This entry-level version of the Lightning lacks […]

Bugatti is famed for building ultra-expensive exotic cars for well-heeled customers that own oil companies or were born into royalty. The company is not known for making electric scooters. But if you buy generic-brand products or have a bag filled with other bags underneath your sink, you, too, can now afford to own a Bugatti […]

Remember that Buick commercial from about 10 years ago, the one where everybody’s incredulous the brand could build a car that didn’t smell like a nursing home? “That’s not a Buick!” was the defining line in this ad, a memorable — and highly lampoonable — quip that attempted to prove that GM’s tri-shield division appealed […]

Ford has enhanced BlueCruise, its adaptive cruise control system with hands-free capability. The new 1.2 version of this technology offers new features and promises to be more responsive and reliable. But has this upgrade gone far enough? Does the new version of BlueCruise adequately address the original version’s shortcomings? In real-world testing, the answer proved […]

The latest crop of all-electric BMWs hasn’t really impressed me. The i4 M50 sports sedan is as quick as a flash but otherwise not terribly engaging, and for better or worse, the all-electric iX SUV feels like a rolling art project, a little too far out there. But the 2023 i7 xDrive60 sedan is something […]
