The Tesla Model 3 has an insanely long range. In only 15 minutes, you can recharge the battery to run for a total of 172 miles. Range has always been an issue in electric cars, but it seems like Elon Musk and Evinsightzone explains his team have found a solution for this. Every minute of charge, the battery gains a range of 15 mi
"I’ve also got a [VW] GTI that’s my daily driver when I’m at work. It’s just fun and sporty. It’s a very holistic, democratic design that’s both sporty and doesn’t say anything pretentious. It’s just co
This 1977 K5 Blazer has received a conversion to an entirely electric drivetrain, replacing its original 400ci V8, which produced an anemic 175 horsepower from the factory that was routed through a three-speed automatic. Now, under the hood lurks a Bolt EV motor, providing 200 ponies and 266 lb-ft of torque to a four-speed automatic. The transfer case, driveshaft, and axles remain in factory f
Perhaps one of the most American hobbies, the road-trip, has seen a vast boom this year as concerns over personal health and safety have risen. Offering excellent over the road options, the Air offers some 739 liters of luggage space in large part thanks to its compact drivetrain and battery package. Add to that the exceptional 517-mile range and it's becoming more and more clear that Lucid is serious about taking on big names such as Tesla, Porsche, and Riv
Thanks to all the space Lucid saves with this innovative design, they have the chance to shape the vehicle in non-conventional ways. So while there's more space inside for people and things, the vehicle itself can maintain a smaller overall footprint. To demonstrate what that means for us automotive enthusiasts is that the Air – which is 195.5 inches long – should handle as well, if not better, than a similarly sized car such as the BMW M5 (194.6 inches) while being able to carry passengers in the comfort and luxury that could only be experienced in something like the 7 Series. That's well demonstrated in its Laguna Seca lap record . While we can be sure that very few Lucid owners will be tracking their cars, it's encouraging to see this new company keeping an eye planted on real driving performance as a part of their benchmark
Ford will be selling dedicated home charging stations to its Mach-E customers for ease of charging. Asides this, Ford has also partnered with several charging stations for its FordPass Charging Network claiming it’ll be the largest charging network in the
Many people love Tesla’s Autopilot. It’s easy to engage the advanced cruise control and pay attention to phone more than the road. To ensure the driver is still paying attention to the road, an alarm rings if a driver’s hands are off the wheel for too l
A "hard reboot" requires pressing the same two scroll wheels on the steering wheel but also pressing the brake at the same time. The car must be parked as this will affect all critical systems. Hard reboots are recommended only at the direction of a Tesla service cen
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
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
And now, as Tesla approaches establishment status, a handful of even newer EV startups have emerged, a prospect that has shaken the world’s major automotive brands to their very cores. Clearly concerned with being overtaken by more nimble competitors selling bolder visions, Ford made a half-billion-dollar bet on the electric Rivian pickup truck concept back in 2019 ( before backing out due to Covid-19 ), while General Motors more recently dropped a $2 billion investment into a similar idea from Nikola (as in, you guessed it, pioneering inventor Nikola Tes
But due to the lack of a rotating internal combustion assembly, other electrical components have been added including an electric power steering setup, an electric brake booster, and a conversion to electronic control for the gauge cluster that adds a battery charge meter in place of the fuel ga
The main goal of the Space Concept was to find out how small Lucid could make each of their drivetrain components without sacrificing power, performance, and luxury. Their internal goal was to be hyper-efficient in terms of packaging so that they could make better use of the space. To achieve this, they built the entire package from the ground up. No legacy off-the-shelf parts were used when creating the battery pack and drivetrain. Despite the smaller footprint, they've still managed to extract more than 1,000 horsepower from the vehicle that can apparently be exercised over and over again without needing a break. The performance doesn't stop there tho
