I’d also like to add to that a bid for a Maverick ST. Make it the only sport-truck on the market.

Maverick Plug-In

I will keep beating the drum that a small cheap hybrid van would be great to have on the market (which is perfect, because Ford’s small cheap van is coming due for replacement). That said, there’s room in the Maverick for electrification, most likely (either PHEV borrowing Escape stuff, or full EV, like a…

It’s not a fine. It’s a settlement. One that I’m sure they agreed to in order to prevent the discovery of that number.

I'll believe there's a new DeLorean when I see video of one crashing at Cars and Coffee.  

Holy crap, is this an April fools’ joke? This thing was unbeatable in Brazil for so long, feels like Toyota is killing the Corolla!

No Fs were given.

From what I’ve heard, yes. If a dealership wants to get allocations of new electric vehicles (and potentially even for PHEVs), they have to have a certain level of charging capability.

Hopefully our nuclear future is disaster-free!

Honestly, I don’t think Starbucks needs help attracting people to their coffee shops with charging stations, they’ve got that down pretty good. Do people spend more if they have to wait for charging at Starbucks? probably not, they just drink it slower. Starbucks wouldn’t be my first choice of charging locations…

I would like to see DC fast chargers at every freeway rest stop, seems like a no-brainer for any state that’s taking the transition to EVs seriously.

Technically you don’t need to start one. they apparently have “franchises”. Many office parking lots in SoCal have them and they get a decent amount of use. The entire process is lease the parking lot spots, get a power thing (it’s a decent size) installed, put in the chargers (and all requisite time for permits and…

The biggest improvement they could make is removing the horrible sculpture that is in front of it.

Or a dealership with a 70's Porn star name.

Yes! Yes Yes!

The last driving test I sat was on December 7th 2011, at 13:40 to be exact. It was back home in the UK and was a 45-minute affair that started with answering questions about the car itself, such as how to check your oil level, and ended with a bay park back at the test center.

Just another piece on top of a gigantic stack of evidence for why we need to get away from fossil fuels as soon as fucking possible.

I don’t mention my role here on Jalopnik. I try not to mix business with pleasure :D
