A New Era of Autonomy Starts with Rivian
Rivian is gearing up to lead the next big shift in EV innovation—this time, it's not about batteries, horsepower, or off-road chops. It's about real autonomy. According to CEO RJ Scaringe, Rivian plans to roll out hands-free, point-to-point driving as early as late 2026. This means a…
It Starts with Chemistry
Fast charging begins at the microscopic level—specifically, with battery cell chemistry. Not all lithium-ion batteries are built the same. Some prioritize energy density, designed to pack in more power for longer range. Others, however, are engineered for performance, including faster charging speeds.
To achieve rapid charge rates, manufacturers modify the battery’s…
Is Charging an EV Still Cheaper Than Gas?
For years, electric vehicles have carried the promise of lower fuel costs. But with electricity prices surging in many U.S. states, EV owners are starting to crunch the numbers again—and the results are… nuanced.
Electricity Prices Are on the Rise
In states like New Jersey, electricity prices…
A Fresh Take on Electric Trucks
Electric pickups are still finding their place, but the GMC Sierra EV is proving they can be more than powerful workhorses. With bold range numbers, strong towing capability, and premium features, it already stands tall. But one feature, the Multi-Pro Midgate, might just make it the most practical electric…
A Hidden Perk of Electric Driving
Electric vehicles are changing more than how we fuel up. Owners with over 100,000 miles are noticing something surprising: fewer rattles and squeaks compared to many gas-powered cars. The difference may come down to one simple factor — vibrations.
The Role of Engine Vibrations
In internal combustion vehicles, engines…
A State-Level Boost for EV Buyers
The federal EV tax credit is set to expire at the end of September, but California is working to keep the momentum alive. Governor Gavin Newsom has already directed state agencies to explore a replacement program that ensures residents continue to receive incentives when they purchase electric cars. Early…
Why EVs Double as Power Stations
Electric vehicles are no longer just about driving from point A to point B. Thanks to massive high-voltage batteries, many now provide electricity on demand. This feature, called vehicle-to-load (V2L), allows owners to power appliances, tools, or even camping gear directly from their cars.
Unlike vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid…
China Shows What’s Possible
China has surged ahead in the race for ultra-fast EV charging. Automakers like BYD are introducing vehicles that can add more than 250 miles of range in under 10 minutes. These breakthroughs are paired with 1,000-kilowatt chargers—an industry first that pushes charging speeds into new territory. With plans for over 4,000…
Redesigned, Recharged, Reborn
Nissan is back with the third-generation LEAF, and it’s more than just a refresh. With a new starting price of $29,990, the 2026 LEAF offers up to 303 miles of range, a fresh crossover body, and a thoroughly modern EV experience. This isn’t the humble compact that defined early electric mobility —…
