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.

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.

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, […]
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 […]
Mercedes’ latest high-tech concept car is a throwback to 1901
[ad_1] The grille has been replaced by a “3D display” that both displays the vintage Mercedes logo an, more importantly, displays the car’s status at a glance. The cockpit, meanwhile, sticks to the minimalist look of very early cars through projections that display context-sensitive info like speed and navigation. You could focus your attention on […]
