GM to build clean EV battery chargers for remote locations, clean power backup

A meme on social media shows a diesel generator powering a BEV charger, suggesting that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are just as “dirty” as regular gasoline cars.

The latest release, a full semi, can be purchased with swappable batteries, methanol power, or a range-extended electric drive. Geely isn’t planning to scoop Cummins, Volvo, or Tesla: their […]

The big electric pickup list, updated

Not everything is comparable to gasoline powered cars (e.g. torque at the wheels). Most of these figures are not final, and some may be hyperbole. Electric car companies have realized […]

Bad timing for the electric pickup party

Several startups and some major players are trying to pump out electric pickups, but it seems as though time may have run out on them.
