NHTSA reviews claims Tesla should have recalled 2,000 cars
[ad_1] We’ve asked Tesla for comment. It previously said that it delivered the May update out of an “abundance of caution” and that its EVs were “10 times less likely” to catch fire than gas-powered cars. Its statement at the time made clear that the software would affect charge and thermal management settings. The update […]
Analog Motion’s AMX is a light and affordable e-bike for commuters
[ad_1] The all-new AMX comes in a few different sizes and frame styles. The cheapest is the Mini, a compact e-bike that was initially sold for €499 (roughly $545) on Indiegogo. At the time of writing, it’s still possible to reserve one with an ‘Early Bird’ price of €650 (roughly $710). The Capital, meanwhile, is […]
Tesla’s Q3 electric car deliveries set another record
[ad_1] And crucially, these are newcomers adding to Tesla’s ranks. Much like in Q2, “nearly all” of the 79,600 Model 3s delivered in the period went to customers who didn’t hold a reservation. That’s a sign of “strong organic demand,” if you ask Tesla. Not everything is rosy. Model S and X deliveries were down […]
VW’s Electrify America starts selling its first home EV charger
[ad_1] Thee are a few perks. Built-in WiFi helps you check in on your charging and, eventually, adapt to power companies’ demand-based programs. It’s also outdoor-friendly if you have to mount it beyond your garage. And if you’d rather not ask someone to mount it in the first place, there’s a power plug to help […]
Tesla’s first major V3 Supercharger rollout is taking place in Canada
[ad_1] This is an unusual focus for Tesla when it tends to serve the US first, but it makes sense given the realities of Canadian driving. It’s a more sparsely populated country with longer stretches between cities than you see stateside. Electric car drivers not only face a dearth of chargers for cross-Canada trips, they […]
Volvo’s electric XC40 will be one of its safest vehicles yet
[ad_1] Volvo has also reinforced the front and back to both adapt to the lack of a gas engine (a given, really) and to distribute collision forces away from the cabin. There’s also some tech that’s new to any Volvo — this is its first car with an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems array of cameras, […]
Canoo wants to sell the world’s first subscription-only EV
[ad_1] The Canoo vehicle looks like a space-age transport pod, offering a more roomy interior for passengers while maintaining the exterior footprint of a compact car. It has space for seven people and the rear seats are designed to be comfortable and stylish, more like a sofa than a traditional car seat. Other fun features […]
Zero’s 2020 electric motorcycles include one that’s loaded for adventures
[ad_1] Other 2020 refreshes are focused more on wringing extra value (and range) out of the lineup, with a few perks. The DS has dipped to a relatively affordable $10,995 through its 7.2kWh, 82-mile battery, all the while adding more storage. Hop to the street-oriented SR and $15,495 now gets you a 14.4kWh Power Pack […]
Mazda will show off its first EV at the Tokyo Motor Show
[ad_1] Few details are known about the model that Mazda will unveil in Tokyo, other than the fact that it will be based on an entirely new car. The automaker last month tested a prototype of an electric vehicle that resembled its CX-5 SUV in Norway, reported Electrek. But it’s unclear whether Mazda will go […]
