Honda’s Prologue Design Reveal Shows It Is Serious About Honda EVs

This year, I’ve been paying a lot more attention to Honda. In the past, I’ve called them “boneheaded” for doing things like sending Clarity cars to the crusher, not selling the Honda e in the United States, and not even offering a hybrid Acura MDX. That last one is particularly awful because my wife is […]

Recent news that the Tesla Semi is going into production shows us that big vehicles need big batteries to run. At 41 tons, an electric semi-truck needs 500 kWh of battery to go highway distances. But, the US military knows how to put the largest vehicles on the road to shame. For example, the M1 […]

“Wait a minute,” you may be thinking. “How could you be into EVs for so long and even work for CleanTechnica and not already have a professionally-installed Level 2 charging station at home?” Well, let’s turn on Baba O’Riley by The Who and I’ll explain a bit about how I got here. Before it’s over, […]

I have to admit that I initially skipped over GM’s latest press release. The headline bragged about sales for Full-Size SUVs, Full-Size Pickups, and Large Luxury SUVs, and with one exception (the Hummer EV), they probably weren’t talking about EVs. But, there were some nuggets of information that I should have dug for sooner, because […]

A few days ago, I was driving home and my kids were standing near the driveway when I pulled my Bolt EUV into the driveway. From inside the car, I don’t hear much except the whine of the electric motors during takeoff from intersections or the regenerative braking when approaching a red light. But, one […]
GM’s Ultium Trucks & SUVs Aren’t Really Unibodies Or Body-On-Frame. What Should We Call Them?

A couple months ago, when the Silverado EV was announced, I got into an interesting conversation with Jo Borrás, one of my colleagues here at CleanTechnica. In an article, I called the Silverado EV a unibody, like the Honda Ridgeline or the Ford Maverick. He told me I had made a rookie mistake calling it […]

Normally, it’s us EV enthusiasts and EV media who have to debunk all of the FUD. “The grid can’t handle EVs!” they say. “Batteries are toxic, and you can’t recycle them!” they go to next. In the past, we’ve had to look at how things would work in theory, and what answers the future holds. […]
