"What’s nice about electrification is that you’re able to expand the attributes beyond internal combustion. So you’re able to go much farther with performance than ever before. You’re able to give people more space without making the car much larger, give them more cargo capacity. Just the overall technical experience is next-level. Oh, and by the way, the car is zero-emissio

In the Tesla Model 3, everything is controlled electronically via the screen onboard. This includes air conditioning, the radio, etc. Thanks to this, it gives the car a much cleaner and minimalist look as it avoids the need to have buttons and knobs scattered all over the place like in most cars to

The most affordable Mach-E starts at around $45,000 (for the lowest spec). This price sounds like a bargain when compared to the starting prices of the Jaguar I-Pace or the Audi e-tron. However, a few other competitors are offering equal or lesser pri

The rear bed of the Blazer, meanwhile, now holds the 60-kWh battery pack—which really removes a lot of the daily functionality of the two-seater SUV-truck blend. But this project was built to show off the tech, so keeping the components visible may have been a higher priority than squeezing them into tight spa

Jenkins has come to terms with the fact that the Air will forever be compared to Tesla’s Model S . On one hand, Peter Rawlinson’s involvement with and untimely departure from the Tesla brand can possibly take the blame. On the other, the Model S really only has one current competitor, Porsche’s Taycan, so any new addition to the market can only be compared to one or two other vehic

Electric cars have set a new standard for interiors in recent years. With slick panels and space-age graphics, its the vision of the future we all expected would eventually arrive in automobiles. And yet, for all that Tesla has set the bar in this area, Polestar has hit back with a worthy challenger of their own. The 2 has a central pad similar to the Tesla Model 3, but in the Polestar, its higher for easier viewing. Fitted with an easy to navigate Google OS, it has very little lag and makes for a seamless electronic experience that fits in well with its surroundi

But a new offering from Scandinavia may just have the South African entrepreneur slightly concerned. Fresh off the back of the original Polestar concept, the company has hit back with the Polestar 2 - the tricky second album. For a company so young, its a bold move, one intended to shake up the electric car indus

Over 90 percent of the system's parts are shared with the Chevy Bolt, including regenerative braking, battery heating, and cooling functions, and an overcharge protection kit. After renowned GM aftermarket builders Lingenfelter Performance Engineering tests out a training and certification program for the eCrate package, Chevy hopes to begin sales to the general public in the second half of 2

However, with the Mach-E, there’s no luxury of handling knowledge as it hasn’t been released to the public. Prospective buyers who are keen on knowing its handling prowess will have to wait till it’s launc

"I grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s," he told me. "So all the cars that I appreciate—that I kind of obsess about—are from that time period. I’m a huge fan of, obviously, the first Countach and Lotus Esprit, Porsche 911 and Porsche 928. These kind of Italian and German-derived cars. Aesthetically, they’re quite different but that’s kind of my sweet spot: Bertone, Pininfarina, Giugiaro, EV game tips|Https://Evinsightzone.com/ Italdesi

The Tesla Model 3 features 3 unique drive modes: Chill Mode, Drive Mode, and Track Mode. The Chill mode is meant for energy savings, and it makes the Model 3 much slower, but more efficient. Drive Mode is the standard mode, while track mode allows the car to control whether torque goes to the front or back wheels, which decreases rotation when corner

"I like some of these streamlined aesthetics, kind of goes back to this Porsche thing," Jenkins said [ in Part 1, Jenkins refers to his favorite car designs of all time ]. "If you think about the 356, 911, Porsche 928—I just love that car, with all the glass, it’s such a cool car, it’s so modern. When I think about Lucid Air, it is this streamlined, aircraft, it’s not based on these hard lines or facets. It’s meant to be super clean and elegant. And to me, those cars age really we

Speaking of people who might root against an electric vehicle's design, Lucid’s majority shareholder is PIF, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia . How, I asked Jenkins, did Lucid get hitched up with a modern-day monarchy established and sustained by the monopolization of the very fossil fuels that Lucid wants to render obsol

Getting the chance to jump into a blank-sheet design might sound like heaven to some creatives (and hell to others, to be fair) but Jenkins thought that brainstorming Lucid's theoretical foundation actually made his job a little eas
