The Electrify America station I stopped at had recently been down for some upgrades, and it now has the company’s newest station design up and running.

I used to own an EV that just wasn’t suitable for road trips. When we needed to go out of town, we’d almost always take our VW Jetta instead. The car was comfortable (at least in the front seats), had decent highway gas mileage, and was generally decent for trips. But, after I traded the […]

On a recent trip across Texas, I found myself needing to get a charge in Houston. I remembered a previous article about Phillips 66 installing their first DC fast charging station at their flagship store … which just happens to be in Houston.

A couple months ago, I found out that a seemingly pointless On* (the vehicle service formerly known as OnStar) feature can actually be extremely useful. On a trip to the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona (near Portal, AZ), I found myself looking for food. The local café had closed earlier than I thought, and we were […]

As the battle between MG and BYD for the title of second highest selling electric vehicle in Australia heats up, I met with a couple that own one of each. Tired of waiting for the BYD Atto 3 to arrive, they purchased an MG ZS EV 18 months ago and are well placed to compare […]

The great Aussie road trip continues. Read part 1 here and part 2 here. Our Bairnsdale accommodation was not only luxurious but had Tesla destination chargers. We had a stress-free few days visiting spots around Lakes Entrance in Victoria. We walked out to the entrance itself — a 5 km round trip — and saw […]
