When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), potential range degradation over time and use has haunted owners for what seems like an eternity. However, as battery technology improves, and so does EV longevity, these fears can slowly be phased out. For instance, the YouTube channel AutoTrader has been documenting a Tesla Model S from 2016 with over 430,000 miles on the clock from to its eight years of service as an airport taxi. Surprisingly, the car has been able to pull this off without requiring a battery or motor replacement of any kind.

More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

For years now, the Tesla Model Y has been the most popular electric car on the market, especially in the West. It hit the right balance of range, charge speeds, price and practicality. But a number of excellent competitors from legacy automakers have entered the market in recent years.

Tesla Model 3 150,000-Mile Owner Review: Surprising Range Loss And Battery Degradation

It’s a little odd to spend time in a big sedan nowadays, or any sedan if we’re honest. Buyers demand high seating positions and a big cargo area. Sedans don’t deliver on the former, and rarely the latter. We get it; practicality, easier ingress and an expansive view are appealing. But sedans are still usually the better machine for driving, plus they offer far sleeker looks. And Genesis is building some of the best. It even has three whole sedan lines, still, including the subject of today’s feature, the Genesis G90. This full-size sedan is a rare beast, but a good one. It looks great, drives great, and, at least for the segment, it’s a great deal. Let’s dig into those aspects.
