These days, social media is the de facto way for customers to give direct feedback to corporations. The best way to get a response is to air your grievances in a public forum. Or for customers who have had a positive experience, your post could get a wider reach if the company’s social media team…

Which full-line automaker announced it’s working on a $22,000 EV—in Europe? Which automakers are going in together on a new generation of smaller engines? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending May 31, 2024. In a review of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV,…

Since its initial reveal in 2017, the Tesla Semi has remained elusive. The long haul truck was initially slated for production in 2019, but has been plagued by delays.

On the consumer side of things, some people have found a way to trick chargers into providing faster charge rates…

The Fiat 500e is cute, charming, and fairly refined for a small city car. Unfortunately, the 500e’s 149-mile range, lack of equipment, and base price of at least $32,000 make the 500e a terribly uncompetitive deal on paper.
