How hot is too hot for EVs, and will the next heat wave brick it, leaving you stranded?
The answer isn’t…
The second quarter of 2024 brought a significant decrease in hydrogen fuel cell car sales in the United States. By that, we mean in California, where the series-produced models are available. According to the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership's data, only 99 new hydrogen fuel cell cars (FCV or FCEV) were sold in the U.S.…

The Tesla Cybertruck is becoming the U.S. best-selling all-electric pickup truck. Because the manufacturer does not report the results of individual models, we can't say for sure, but some data indicates that the Cybertruck won in the second quarter of 2024. In this post, we will try to check what we know about the…
I don't know if you've noticed this, but it's not cheap to get into a new car these days. Though the average new car price has been going "down" over the past few months, it was still around $45,000 in June—and still way up from pre-pandemic times. Plus, sky-high interest rates mean you'll be paying a…
NASCAR is in the midst of a decade of radical change. Before the decade ends, those changes could include electrification. This past weekend at the Chicago Street Course, the first street circuit in the Cup Series’ 76-year history, NASCAR debuted a prototype electric race car. This car dumps the pushrod V8 and rear-wheel-drive for…
During the second quarter of 2024, Porsche delivered 21,304 cars in the United States, almost 13% more than a year ago. However, the Porsche Taycan noted the lowest sales level since its launch. In Q2, Porsche sold only 807 Taycan electric cars, over 50% less than a year ago. It was also the worst…

In many ways, the sales were an extension of what we saw in Q1: Legacy automakers like General Motors, Ford, and Hyundai witnessed double-digit percentage growth compared to last year, whereas Tesla continued to slip. As Elon Musk’s…
Mat Watson, the host of the CarWow YouTube channel, recently reviewed the redesigned Tesla Model 3 Performance. He liked the car a lot, calling out its "great value." But he just wishes it was a bit more like a Hyundai. If that request sounds a little off, allow me to explain. …
NASCAR surprised attendees at its Chicago Street Race on Saturday with the debut of a fully electric SUV prototype.
It’s so surprising, perhaps, because the race series hasn’t even gone hybrid yet. NASCAR remains a race of thirsty, loud V-8 engines and rear-wheel-drive cars with rear-mounted manual transmissions.
