When you think of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, your first thought probably isn’t race cars. If anything, you might inadvertently think of super secret nuclear stuff, but contrary to popular belief, that stuff doesn’t happen at Oak Ridge.

Before I get to Kia’s story, I want to remind readers about something that happened almost two years ago. At the beginning of last year, the EV cannonball record was smashed. While previous runs from New York to Los Angeles were all in Teslas (charging infrastructure plus charging speeds means a lot), this was the […]

Space is a tough place to be. People complain online about Texas weather swinging from hot to freezing in mere days or hours (and maybe even display weather that belongs in all four seasons within a week), but just a couple hundred miles above the state, the swings are even more wild.

Selling families, businesses, and organizations an EV is one thing. Making sure the initial experience isn’t painful is another thing entirely.
