Out of the blue, a client of mine made me an pretty decent offer for my B250e. I love the car and never even considered selling it...until now. With said, "car guy" is part of my DNA. I love researching, shopping for, and driving different cars. Especially electric cars. I won't be leasing...

And no, it's isn't a Tesla. Seemingly out of nowhere (I've never heard of these guys), Workhorse is taking deposits on a pickup truck with 80 miles electric / 390 miles total range. Looks cool, and starting at $52,500 before incentives; seems pretty affordable too. Trucks are gas guzzlers...

Just curious to get everyone's input on this. Winter is upon us, and our heated garage is set at a constant 54F. My goal is maximizing the battery's lifespan, and thus keeping it at the "best" temperature while parked. I don't leave the car plugged in all the time.

Saw an ad from a Washington-based dealer offering $99 leases on the Soul EV. Based on other's experience...seems legit: http://www.mykiasoulev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=860 The Soul EV was the runner up in our shopping for an EV. As much as I love the Mercedes, if there was a way for a...

Doug DeMuro hasn't been doing reviews long, but unlike a lot of other reviewers, he's the kind of guy I'd like to have a beer with and talk about cars. Doug seems to be one of the few reviewers that (at least in my opinion) hasn't been bought, and isn't afraid to tell it like it is. I know...

USA FY2016, 17.6 millions cars & trucks were sold. Of those, 159,333 were EVs: http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/04/news/companies/car-sales-2016/index.html http://5vtj648dfk323byvjb7k1e9w.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/us-ev-sales-2016-final.jpg <1% of new cars purchased...

From time to time, I visit a Solar forum. It was an immense help before and during my project. Anyway, one thread on the site reminded me a little about the buying new vs used debate, in terms of who owns the CO2 from the manufacturing of the car...and made me think if it can be argued that an...

Now that pricing is out on the Ioniq Electric, I thought it would be interesting to get opinions based on a range vs MSRP perspective. A lot of us are still driving / making do with 80 mile cars. Hyundai Ioniq Electric Limited (EPA Range: 124 miles / $32,500): Chevy Bolt EV Premier (EPA...

Hi Amber, It's been discussed that the heater draws 9kW from the battery. Does the heater always use 9kW when it's in operation? It would be reasonable to assume it consumes less than 9kW once the cabin reaches the desired temperature, but we don't know if that's the case. Please post...

This comes up every so often, and I figured it deserves it's own thread. Can you really charge your EV for free? The answer is a theoretical yes. It depends on how many miles you put on your car, and how much you paid for your home solar system, and where you live. All-in, I'm into my...

Just musing...not a real car yet. I think that a Bolt in Cadillac trim (starting at $59,000) would make a lot of sense, especially if GM was able to stretch the wheelbase a little, add some Cadillac bling, and shape it into a package that resembles a small Model X. I wouldn't at all be...

It's no secret that a number of Tesla owners are taking full advantage (or abusing depending on your point of view) of their "free unlimited supercharging" as stipulated in their sales contracts. Last year, Tesla sent a letter to owners and asked them to limit their use to allow for better...
