The original IIHS article has lots of interesting tables

US sized EV trucks and Hummers aren’t an issue in Paris. Ground level pollution however is.

Weird to have an article on Paris and showing a Denali and talking about Hummer EVs two vehicles you will never see in Paris. The average parisian car is a Clio or a 208. 

Somone must make replacement grills to slap on a Scion Iq

No one wants to buy an EV, 1 million sold in 2022, expected 2023 1.6 million.

I was going to say this as well. I think I’ve never had a car where the pedals are lined up perfectly; like the gas pedal rests further down than the brake or vice-versa. I am able to blip the gas under braking but I could be a little smoother still. 

When I had my Saab I would tell people that Ikea has special parking for Volvos/Saabs

The color selection for the Mach-E is pretty cool too - they seem to be offering a lot of options. Opposed to the Black, White, Grey Model Y’s I see everywhere.

Oops - nevermind

Volvo V60 - one of the few cars that catches my eye when out and about. Refreshing in a sea of bland crossovers.

I had a work trip to Germany and our rep there picked me up from the Airport. I was expecting he would be driving a S-class or similar - nope - a late model MG. I was really disappointed tbh.

In a age where every SUV looks identical; I appreciate the PT Cruisers styling. I had one as a rental - it was fine - the gas mileage was seriously bad though.

I used some off-brand charger with the Tesla Chademo adapter. It was such a pain. Use app to start - plug in car - then having to actually hit a start button on the machine. It took like 3 tries for all the steps to work properly.

Europe uses CCS Type 2. Will be interesting how this affects future international used car sales & ability to travel (sure its not many people travelling outside their continent - but this will make it a lot harder)

When I was a kid the only 4 door pickups you would see were either owned by the highway department, railways, or mining companies.  Farmers owned regular two doors, long beds. City cowboys owned two door short beds or step-sides.  The odd family had extended cabs. 

DCFC should be profitable. Tesla’s average Supercharging price is 56 cents /kwh in Canada which is far above retail home rates. (I pay closer to 10 cent average). Its also about having first mover advantage & staking claim to the best spots / routes.

Standardizing the plug is a very good thing.

Maybe they can swap out dieselgate engines for these

I’m starting to think that this might have been a death trap. Anyone else? /s
