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.

“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 […]
