I like how you spend this entire article trying to blame the government, sugar lobby, and automakers for this, while burying the actual cause as a footnote at the very end

Unfortunately, we don’t know which models did the worst in terms of range loss.

What the hell. The range loss has nothing to do with the battery temperature. The car is going to maintain the desired battery temperature regardless. High temps are actually good for battery range because they reduce the cell internal resistance, improving efficiency. Either way, the car is going to maintain the…

Last weekend my wife and I drove from Las Vegas (115°) to Valley of Fire (119°), to Zion National Park (110°) in our 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance. While we had the AC blasting the whole time, our need to stop and charge each direction didn’t really change, and we were able to Charge at the campsite. In the V8 Jeep…

True... but Rivian, Tesla, and Lucid aren’t treating Andy and his staff to free fancy vacations, giving them loaner cars, etc. so here we are.

Same with gas cars. In Fairbanks Alaska, there are 120v plugs all over the dang place and people drive around with extension cords hanging out of their hood and wrapped around the side mirror. They plug in all over town to run electric engine block heaters. Which is pretty funny because that means there’s already a…

I vaguely recall being a kid in the 90s and my dad had to run the heat in his pickup truck on really hot days because otherwise the engine would overheat!

Did this site get bought by BP or Chevron? Or is it all the free extravagant trips, loaner cars, and other perks tritonal manufactures are always giving the staff? Everyone knows there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

LOL what a dumb article. shows you truly know nothing about EVs. This gave me the biggest laugh to start the week while roadtrip my tesla

What happens to ICEs at extremely high temps?

ICE car took 70 years to finally get to a point were they work fine in extreme temperatures.

To me, the only way anyone could justify letting them drill on OUR land would involve a guarantee that any and ALL oil produced be STRICTLY for domestic use. Naturally, the oil companies would never agree to such a thing, so they should have to take their environment-wrecking machinery elsewhere. As far as Biden goes,…

Good I am tired of welfare drilling. It is not like oil companies are going broke. 

Hydrogen’s biggest bottle-neck as a way to power vehicles is not the fuel cell/electric motor bit - it’s producing and distributing hydrogen in sufficient quantity. Add to this that storing hydrogen on a vehicle requires pretty hefty tanks to address the Hindenburg problem, and you’ve got yourself a pretty narrow…

Don’t worry, the “party of law and order” will quickly excuse this complete violation of several laws with something that amounts to “its ok when WE do it”.

How much did that jury award Hulk Hogan?  (Also, if you’re under 18 and are on Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s mailing list, you are dangerously close to being a lost cause, my goodness).

What a titanic abuse of official power and of precious government resources.

Our local dealer has three, one without a price and the other two at 87k and 88k.

Like it or not, necessity is the mother of invention. That may mean things have to get worse in some ways before they get better.

My random sample - scouring local Ford dealer sites last weekend. Seems like any Lightning on the lot is a Platinum or Lariat.
