That’s what I was wondering. There have been a couple of articles about this scandal but none of them mentioned what the ‘device’ was and if it was hardware or software. 

But that would require the author to actually perform some writing.

Just like VW and Dieselgate, Software recognized when it was in the EPA Cycle and ran EPA related emissions for it. All the rest of the time it did not.

As good as you make this sound, the logic is off.

I was in sales and typically drove 50-70K per year. I don’t need to add a level of difficulty like planning a charging stop or spending an hour waiting for it to charge. Sales appointments can also get cancelled or rescheduled even on the same day meaning I might have to replan the ev stop. I’m too busy just trying to…

If you thought this website exists to produce content about cars, you are mistaken. These dimwits are more passionate about politics than cars. Jalopnik is just another avenue used to push crazy liberal content to unsophisticated readers. This article is pathetic.

The motto on here used to be “drive free or die”. What a difference a decade makes.

No way in hell I’m letting someone put a device on my car that restricts its speed/acceleration. I don’t condone reckless speeding in traffic, but I do enjoy taking my car and motorcycle out on a empty country road and having some fun. This is still a car enthusiast blog, right? Seams like the last few years it’s been …

I find it funny that people as daft as you exist. The world’s climate changed dozens of times, hell explain the ice age?? We sure as heck didn’t have cars back then.

I find it shocking when right-wing media can even get a word in, left wing media has such a big mouth.

Wouldn’t it be even better to advocate for the elimination of POVs and get everyone onboard with mass public transportation. EVs are still vehicles so if your aim is to save the planet, I’d think cutting down on that among a whole host of other daily routines and activities would do so much more for that cause.

Absolutely not. Buddy. You have drank the koolaide. The science is not settled on this at all. If anything there is more evidence than ever pointing the opposite.

The big aspect of electric vehicles that seems to usually not get talked about is this: what is the source of the electricity? Almost 60% of US electricity production comes from natural gas and coal, which are most definitely not green. I will grant you that a well maintained natural gas plant will run far more…

So that “bystander crushed to death” bit is because the author realized he didn’t dis the cops quite enough in the regular article.

If you think cars have anything to do with the temperature outside you have been brainwashed. 

it’s just a riff on the rage against the machine lyric...

Reference to a Rage Against The Machine song about cops.

The Police Interceptor version is designed specifically to be able to run all of the accessories on the battery alone while the vehicle is switched on.

If you’re financing it they do. If you pay cash they probably give zero shits if you have insurance.

In STL? Never figured a city so boring would have such boring issues.
