More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery.

The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

Samsung has introduced another Galaxy F14, despite replacing the original model with the Galaxy F15 earlier this year. Nonetheless, the company has sought to release the Galaxy F14 4G, which relies upon the same chipset as the Galaxy A05s (curr. $114.97 on Amazon). In fact, it seems that more similarities exist between the Galaxy F14 4G and Galaxy A05s than the Galaxy F14 4G and Galaxy F14.

The Tesla Cybertruck is shaking up the electric pickup truck world in a big way, and it's not hard to see why. To put it into numbers, Tesla moved 3,907 Cybertruck in May 2024 alone, making it not just the best-selling electric pickup truck that month, but also the fifth best-selling EV overall. With its wild, futuristic design, the Cybertruck looks like it rolled straight out of a sci-fi movie and onto our streets. But there's more to it than just a cool exterior. This beast of a vehicle is packed with performance power, leaving other electric trucks in the dust with its speed, range, and overall sales.

Here's Why The Tesla Cybertruck Is Dominating The Electric Pickup Truck Segment

Electric drivetrains enjoy many benefits. They are substantially more efficient and reliable thanks to their simpler and more compact design. They do feature more advanced components made from high-cost materials, which contributes to their already high pricing strategy. Another noteworthy benefit of electric drive units is that they are substantially lighter than a conventional ICE. Unfortunately, the weight of an average lithium-ion battery pack results in EVs weighing substantially more than your average ICE sedan.
