[ad_1] At its heart, the Nissan Leaf Plus is a great little electric hatchback. During my tests, I found it to be a capable car that delivers on nearly all of its promises. It’s efficient, full of most of the latest tech with a surprisingly spacious trunk. But it’s missing something: fun. Not that there’s […]

[ad_1] James Bond movies tend to be a reflection of the cultural zeitgeist, and that might be reflected in his choice of whip next time around. The Sun sources have claimed that the director of the next Bond movie, Cary Joji Fukanaga, wants 007 to drive As… [ad_2] Source link
Scientists can turn regular seawater into hydrogen fuel
[ad_1] Unfortunately, purified water is in itself a scarce resource. Which is why Stanford chemistry professor Hongjie Dai and her team sought out to discover a way to keep salt water from breaking down devices used for water-splitting. “We barely have enough water for our current needs in California,” said Dai in a press release.

Fisker plans to release an electric SUV under $40,000 in 2021
[ad_1] There’s one main issue: you’ll have to wait. Fisker doesn’t expect a drivable prototype until sometime before the end of 2019, and a production model won’t be ready until the second half of 2021. That’s around the same time that Tesla plans to deliver its sub-$40K Model Y, but roughly a year after higher-priced […]

The Polestar 2 is more than just a pretty face
[ad_1] This meant we had to wait until we hit the ground in Geneva to check out the first electric vehicle from (parent brand) Volvo. What we encountered was a vehicle that’s nearly on par design-wise with the breathtaking (yet hybrid) Polestar 1. This shouldn’t be too surprising considering that a focus on design is […]
Riding in Tesla’s very quick Model Y crossover
[ad_1] The newest Tesla didn’t disappoint off the line. With a zero to 60 potential of 3.5 seconds, the dual-motor variant of the vehicle they drove us in was quick. It kept me glued to my seat as it burned through electrons. There’s no ludicrous mode, but its acceleration should keep its future owners happy. […]
Tesla unveils its Model Y crossover
[ad_1] With an estimated 300 mile range and current starting price of $42,700 (a 230 mile, $39,000 Standard will begin production in 2021), the Model Y buts up against offerings from Kia and Hyundai. But once you start stacking features into the vehicle, it starts bleeding into the range of Audi’s E-Tron and Jaguar’s I-Pace. […]
Bugatti unveils a $33,000 EV for (rich) kids
[ad_1] The Baby II is a tribute to the company’s classic racer. It features a similar body design, though the Baby II will be three-quarters the size of the original and features a 3D-printed frame. Inside the revived racer is a rear-wheel-drive battery-powered electric powertrain with removable lithium-ion battery packs. The car features two different […]
Foursquare’s unusual pitch: The ethical data company
[ad_1] Over the last decade, Foursquare has moved beyond app check-ins and mayoral skirmishes to mostly serve other companies. It’s a platform for apps that change according to your location, whether you check in or not. The combination of its ability to ambiently pinpoint locations and having what Crowley calls its “base map of the […]
