EV road trips might soon be getting a little bit easier, thanks to thousands of highway fast-chargers, on the way starting this year from a network called Ionna.  Ionna, as it’s called, is an EV charging network jointly backed by seven automakers, including an undisclosed amount from BMW Group, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz,…

But, those are generally cheaper cars, not the…

We all knew this day would come: the Tesla Cybertruck flippers are here. Scalpers aren't a new concept. They've been around ever since limited-run commodities have existed. We recently saw this very same pattern happen with the GMC Hummer EV, which eventually crashed the used market into the ground once production ramped up. Now…
