Getting an opportunity to road test and review a Tesla Model 3 electric car has thus far proved a very difficult task.
This week, my 2014 i3 REx turned three years old; I picked it up on May 21, 2014. For the most part I’ve been very pleased with the car. It’s definitely not perfect, but then again no car is. It has fit my needs and driving demands perfectly and I only needed to drive on the range...
Not so long ago, gas stations and convenience stores seemed to be mutually exclusive businesses—you went to one, or you went to the other. Today, many convenience chains only open new locations that also sell gasoline. Many drivers don''t know that gas stations work on the smallest of profit...
As electric-car adoption expands past early adopters into more general buyers, it may be difficult for public charging infrastructure to grow as fast as the number of electric vehicles on the road. Here in the U.S., every month roughly 10,000 new plug-in vehicles are sold or leased—and that...
The Volkswagen diesel emission scandal erupted last September, when the EPA formally issued a Notice of Violation to one of the world''s three largest automakers for willfully violating U.S. emission laws for seven years. Since then, much speculation has appeared over what forms of punishment VW...
The full impact of Volkswagen''s diesel-emission cheating scandal has yet to be realized, but what it has apparently already admitted to doing could result in the largest civil fine ever levied by the Federal government on an automaker. And that''s just the beginning. Besides paying civil penalties...
Last week at the DC Auto Show, BMW, Volkswagen, and ChargePoint jointly announced they would install about 100 DC fast chargers for electric cars.
Their goal is to create “Express Charging...
This past Wednesday, May 21, I picked up my shiny new 2014 BMW i3 REx range-extended electric car from JMK BMW in Springfield, New Jersey. The car, in Laurel Grey, was the first range-extended i3 delivered in North America, and I will always appreciate that BMW gave me the honor of being the first...
For the majority of the general public to consider purchasing a fully electric car, they first want accessible public charge points located at or near places they frequent in their daily life. It''s also clear that most people won''t end up using them nearly as much as they think they will. However...
Before the 2014 BMW i3 is officially launched as a production model, the innovative all-electric minicar is going on a whirlwind world tour--chaperoned by its more powerful, sexy, and sleek i8 plug-in hybrid sports coupe sibling. The pair of concept cars just completed the first of seven stops they...
I took possession of my 2009 Mini E electric car (serial number 250) on June 12, 2009. At the time, I signed up for a one year lease, which is all BMW was offering. It was made perfectly clear that after 12 months, we would have to give the car back and that there would be no exceptions. One...
Yesterday afternoon, BMW hosted a Special Sneak Peek Preview Event of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 concept electric cars in New York. Both cars will make their official U.S. debut at next week''s Los Angeles Auto Show. After an hour-long photo session, we were addressed by Richard Kim, exterior designer...
A couple of weeks ago, BMW invited me to come to Munich and take part in the first drive of production versions of the BMW ActiveE, their second battery electric test vehicle.
There''s been a lot of discussion and consideration given to the topic of public charging stations for electric vehicles. The old "chicken verses egg" conundrum is called to mind as auto makers and politicians seem to fumble around without really knowing what to do and where to allocate funds. Will...

With the debut of the Ram 1500 Revolution electric concept truck at CES 2023, the realm of full-size electric pickups is quickly becoming competitive. To give us perspective (and to talk a bit more about the classic DeLorean he used to drive in the 1980s), we welcome EV expert Tom Moloughney back to the show.
While the Ram 1500 Revolution is strictly a concept vehicle, it proposes innovations in a platform that''s decidedly different from the gas-powered Ram 1500 you can buy today. With Ford already scrambling to build as many Lightnings as possible, and with the Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra EV twins being decidedly different from their internal-combustion counterparts, is Ram arriving late to the party?
More importantly, might that give Ram an advantage or a disadvantage in a very fast-paced world of EV development?
That''s just a teaser of our epic conversation with Moloughney, who has over a decade of experience driving EVs and knows more about charging up than the Energizer bunny. In addition to being a senior editor at InsideEVs (where he recently and thoroughly debunked a very famous r''s F-150 Lightning video), Moloughney posts regular content on his State of Charge channel. In short, if you''re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, you need to hear what Moloughney has to say.
Speaking of which, this special podcast also looks at winners for the 2023 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards, two of which were EVs. There''s more high-performance EV content with an official Chevrolet teaser for the forthcoming all-wheel-drive hybrid Corvette E-Ray. And to wrap everything up in grand fashion, Moloughney shares a story about road-tripping his personal F-150 Lightning in temperatures far below freezing. Spoiler alert– the truck really does work in cold weather.
