Consider, for a moment, the electrical wire, a pervasive technology that’s extremely easy to forget. Spooled up inside our devices, wrapped around our walls, strung along our streets, millions of tons of thin metallic threads do the job of electrifying the world.

Carmakers not giving the customer access to their car’s full potential isn’t new, either. Back in the 1960s, the American car market was so competitive that carmakers launched updated models every year. There might be new paint and trim colors, and there would always be more performance.

The EV6 GT is still a heavy car, and its 2,185-kilogram curb weight is felt through the corners when driven quickly. If truly let loose, we suspect physics would soon overcome the efforts of Kia’s engineers. Plainly, and despite its huge power, this is not a car designed for track use. Kia says as much…

When the ninth season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing series kicks off in Mexico City, Mexico, on January 14th, 2023, the teams will all be sporting all-new cars. Yesterday at its new Performance Center in Franciacorta, Italy, Porsche became the first team to formally unveil its new racer, dubbed the 99X, and InsideEVs…
