The power possible in an EV basically comes down to the power (not energy) density of the batteries. Each kg of a battery is good for 300-1500W of power. If you’ve got a bigger battery (or a chemistry optimized for the 1500W/kg instead of 300W/kg), you’ll have more power available.

You don’t even want to know what is going on with the 911 Turbo market. 

I’ve got some bad news for you...

Wow. Rather get the new Sequoia for 30 grand less and the twin turbo V6 gets 20MPG.

Is now a good time to discuss how butt-ugly these things are? All of the yuppie parents in my town are buying them so I always see them sitting in the carpool line at school. It is hard to believe this car can look so bad and poorly designed when the new Grand Cherokee looks so good.

That kind of gas mileage is absolutely unacceptable nowadays tbh. Maybe the turbo 6 will help more than I’m guessing it will, but sub-12mpg from a new car is absurd and should bring guilt to anyone driving such a vehicle. Toyota has also been known for letting their trucks live a long time in the same generation…

Lighter, lower, more aero bits. It’s like a car would be a better car than this.

New EV6 body kit looks great.

Cool. Now put that 77 KwH battery in a $40K FWD base model with 200 HP and let me go 400 miles on a charge.

I have never waited so patiently for something to be revealed over my entire life—a solid year for the Dodge muscle car EV to be unveiled and now here we are.

I have an A7 PHEV that has roughly the same electric range and a desire to get the highest possible fuel economy (while still accounting for my fast-ish driving habits) has forced me to completely change the way I drive. My car has full EV mode (the gas engine only kicks on when more than 40% throttle is needed),…

Nebraska. Just Nebraska.

Still waiting for Ford to release a hybrid AWD model.

Friend of mine was one of the Rivian layoffs. He'd been thinking of leaving before it happened,  said the place is a "shitshow" currently.  Could be growing pains like we saw at Tesla,  but layoffs always have unforeseen costs.

If you want to see more photos from that feature I did five years ago (which is where the top shot in this article is from), head this way:

It makes me irrationally furious that the Colorado looks so much better than the Silverado, again.

It takes a lot of work and effort to be ignorant

21mpg and still insanely ugly, still insanely bad sightlines and visibility, still dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers, still insanely heavy, still insanely poor obstacle avoidance, still far too large for parking lots and rationally sized roads, still does increased damage to infrastructure costing us all…

1) The rear window is no longer a power window. This is one of our favorite features on our 2018 (hot summer day, all the windows down, A/C blowing on full regardless).

Why?

Why, in the face of all the climate shit we are seeing is someone building this behemoth, why would someone actually buy it... Just, Why?
