I was going to write an article about the 10 best electric cars, trucks, and SUVs on the market, but then decided I’d limit it to cars, trucks, and SUVs below $70,000 to make it a bit more useful. Then I realized there were barely more than 10 full electric cars on the US market […]

The New England Motor Press Association awarded the EV6 with the title of “2022 Winter Vehicle Award For Best Electric Vehicle.” My first thought was, “does the EV6 really have any advantages over other EVs in winter weather?” And, “how much […]

This is due many countries in the region having constrained generation capacity, and weak and intermittent grids, resulting in regular power cuts. Nigeria accounts for a huge chunk […]

It’s a classic catch-up effect development when a market gets disrupted by a new technology. In this case EVs, and in particular EVs with enough range and […]
