Goes without saying, but must be said: all self-driving cars must be electric vehicles

As with emissions controls, California leads the nation. This is another BFD, just like federal fleets, etc. And can’t come soon enough, if only to eliminate the continuing snafu of gig workers in Uber/Lyft. Gonna need an infrastructure year rather than a week, because that is more important than more vehicles....

Biden Should Mess with Texas

Beto O’Rourke, who narrowly lost to Ted Cruz for Texas’s Senate seat in 2018, and Tory Gavito, cofounder of Way to Win, have an op-ed in today’s WaPo urging Biden to fight for Texas’s 38 EVs: Joe Biden can end the drama on election night. All he has to do...

Planning to get some amazing future car? Beware the 'European Drivecycle Game'

In the olden days, we often heard a refrain along the lines of: “Man, look at the MPGs on these cars in Europe! It’s ridiculous that we can’t get them over here.” Nowadays, it’s often of the form: “Man, look at the range of this upcoming European EV! I totally want...

Every so often one encounters a myth about electric vehicles that's so odd it makes you scratch your head. When it happens just once, it's easy to dismiss, but when it keeps popping up, it becomes time to address it. In recent weeks, I've seen multiple people assert that, “Sure,...

Well, it's finally happened: Tesla has released the $35k Model 3. While the whole Model 3 programme had been previously moved forward two years, the failure to meet the accelerated timeline has been a regular source of criticism for Tesla over the past year. The new unveiling introduced a whole slew...

GM Hits 200,000th Electric Vehicle Sale in Q4; Tax Credit Phaseout Now Hindering US Vs. Competition

Congratulations to GM! And also, my sympathies. Because in late Q4, GM sold its 200,000th electric vehicle, triggering the start of tax credit phaseouts for GM electric vehicles. The timing appears to be a blunder. Unlike Tesla (my horse in the game!), GM (accidentally, it seems) tolled its 200,000th sale right...

Electric Cars and Road Tripping: Yes, We Can.

They’ve also set their sights on their next target to kill: CARB (the California Air Resources...

In the aftermath, there’s an image of people in their powerless...
