And that’s where they get you! That’s not fully electric, like the main one reported in this article. The 330e will compete with the plug in hybrid version of this car, which I believe is the right one of the three in the top pic. Also it only gets like 14 miles of e-range vs 25+ for the Ioniq.

“Oh, and its 8.8 kWh battery can be charged on a standard household outlet too, no fancy equipment required. That’s nice.”

“the i3 is getting double the battery capacity and thus more range before we hit 2017.”

In the Model S on track, the motor is actually the component that starts over temping first surprisingly. I would have thought the same until I talked to some owners at Laguna Secca!

FYI they actually discontinued the 85kWh pack about a month ago.

Hmm I didn’t know that either. Learn something every day!

This is An All-Wheel Drive Performance Wagon (old) Subaru Style.

It’s still available on most European Fords, and is available in the US Transit now I believe! It does draw a bit of current, but works much better. The current was a problem years ago, but with modern electric machines (alternator) and hybrid systems, it shouldn’t be a problem.

While maybe someday everyone would need 80a chargers (if all EVs had 200-300+ miles of range) that’s way overkill for what is needed right now. Most EVs top out at 3.3 or 6.6 kW, 15 or 30 amps respectively. Even the new Bolt will only charge at 35 amps. I’d imagine that for most places a 32A EVSE (‘charger’) would do…

A lot of cars now have the ability to lock the cord into the car side. It’s something that’s mandatory in Europe as the “chargers” there don’t have built-in cords, the drivers have to bring their own cords. A couple of manufacturers have also built in spots to put a padlock which would be even more secure, though…

Aluminum has a lower melting point than steel, so it has all nearly disappeared. The b pillars are nearly the only steel parts in the car (apparently along with the seat frames? ), and that’s all we see here! Pretty interesting, will follow the investigation closely!

Takes the cake for me as well! I'm expecting with options I'd like to pay mid to high 40s, which is so much more money than I've ever put into a car. (never bought new) I hope they don't put gimmicky winged doors or funky handle type stuff. I want a good, powerful, AWD, electric hatch or wagon that has enough space…

Nice! I’ve only sat in one a couple of times so wan’t entirely sure how the range would be displayed on those couple of screens shown in the .gif, but it seemed like the bars should go all the way across the screen when full. Just looking forward to having some more range! I’m hoping that Dieselgate gets them to bring…

That’s clearly at least a plug-in Golf (GTE) or maybe an eGolf. With it being only like 20% full from the screens and 40 miles of range, maybe this could be a long range (200 mi?) eGolf concept to be shown?

So I think I know quite a bit about WiFi networks, but I don’t see a reason I should upgrade. I’ve got a quite good Netgear N900 router that covers the entire townhouse I live in no problem, has both 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and I’ve never ever had problems with or had to reset like the days of yesteryear. I have a Macbook…

Exactly, MPGe is an ok measurement once the energy is in the vehicle. Crude refinement, electrical generation, or hydrogen generation are all additional losses that need to be considered when one is considering what’s best for the environment/future. These are, however, mostly out of the car consumer’s hand as most…

MPGe also backs up this statement and is (though frustrating) an OK measure of energy efficiency within the vehicle. MPGe puts vehicles on a level playing field for how far they would go on the energy in roughly a gallon of gas, no matter if it is 1 gallon of gas, some electricity into a battery or kgs of hydrogen…

You likely would never have the need for an 800V charger at your house. Getting one installed would be a very expensive and (for most people) completely unnecessary venture. They should be along freeways for long distance driving, maybe a couple in cities, and at the track for fun! Generally, at your house you can…

You are totally correct and it makes me sad :(Luckily the Legacy GT wagon still has a couple more years for this to get sorted out... and I really do hope the selection in the US improves.

I know it hasn’t officially raced yet, but neither has the Miata! C’mon guys! Hoping to see this on the podium and list next year!
