Why I Got Rid Of My LEAF If you’ve been reading CleanTechnica for a few years or more, you might remember my first post here, where I talked about my experiences with my 2018 Nissan LEAF. There was some good to share, some bad to share, and some downright ugly to share. Since then, I’ve…

I just got my Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) Beta access restored!!!!! Background For 206 days, my wife and I obsessively used Tesla FSD Beta in our Model 3. However, we struck out for the 5th time on June 27th, 2022, and lost access to the software! A few days ago, after 79 days…

This isn’t the first time Jackery has sent me an Explorer 1000 power station (reviews for those are here and here), but this time it’s the “Pro” model.…

It’s Mazda vs. Tesla in this second episode of the CleanTechnica Ultimate EV Battle Bracket Tournament, where EV experts Zachary Shahan and Jo Borras take car reviews to the next level by exploring each car from two different perspectives and, ultimately, determine the best EV you can buy today. And, I dunno — maybe we’ll…

“One bike that can do almost anything – commutes, trips to the store, daycare drop-off, leisure rides, and more.” So says the e-bike maker CERO, which recently unleashed its CERO One cargo e-bike to the public. It’s all true! CERO One feels like silk in motion to ride, and it also gets your local shopping…
