The engineers over at NVIDIA claim to have harnessed the power of Thor. Actually, that I made up. Though, a large chunk of NVIDIA’s press release about its new autonomy chip codenamed Thor is just as arbitrary (or it was just written by a mischievous Loki to confuse us all). Though, in all fairness, if […]

I recently wrote about all of the fantabulous features of the new XPeng G9, but that was before it was fully launched. It was just launched in full today, and one of the biggest surprises for me is its low price. I expected it to cost at $20,000+ more! The starting price is from 309,900 […]

We had Plugsurfing presenting at one of our Cleantech Revolution Tour conferences many moons ago and wrote about the company several times back then, but if you’re new to the EV charging brand (which I think we all have to admit has one of the coolest names in the industry), the short synopsis is that […]

The next XPeng model coming to market is the G9, a larger SUV than the company’s currently available G3.
