As much as former President Donald Trump would like Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to join his potential cabinet, he’s probably just too busy. “He wants to be involved. Now look, he’s running big businesses and all that, so he can’t, really, I don’t think he could be cabinet,” Trump told Shawn Ryan, a former Navy SEAL and podcaster, in an excerpt of an interview set to publish Monday. “I’d put him in the cabinet, absolutely, but I don’t know how he could do that with all the things he’s got going.”

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...

(iSeeCars) – Electric cars are supposed to supplant internal-combustion-powered vehicles over the next 10-20 years. And while the sales of electric cars are growing, they remain a small fraction of the U.S. market due to their higher costs and limited charging stations. These problems should be resolved over the next few years, with likely breakthroughs […]

How Much is an Electric Car Battery?

While many automakers have been aggressively developing all-electric vehicle models, Toyota has been taking it slow. Despite being the pioneer of the model first synonymous with hybrid-electrics – the Prius – Toyota has barely dipped a toe in the EV market, releasing just one model in North America, the bZ4X. Instead the Japanese automaker has focused on what it refers to on its website as “the power of choice.” This adds hybrids, plug-in hybrids, fuel cell EVs and, of course, traditional internal combustion options.

Chances are if you're at all familiar with cars, you've heard of the Toyota Motor Company. It has been around since the 1930s, delivering cars, trucks, and SUVs of varying quality and price to drivers. Toyota has grown to become a global juggernaut as well, manufacturing its vehicles in multiple different countries. While there are some used Toyota models you should steer clear of at all costs, there are also loads of new and used ones worth buying. Of course, it finds its roots in and is currently headquartered in Japan, so it's no surprise that many of its models are built there.

How To Tell If A Toyota Was Built In Japan

Throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s so far, electric vehicles have been some of the most talked about entries on the market, with multiple automakers shattering the boundaries of what was once thought of these types of cars. With electrification finding its way into every segment, there's no shortage of EVs to choose from in 2024.

The Real Reason Why Automakers Are Backpedaling On Their EV Plans

Electric automotive technology isn't necessarily a new thing, but it has become substantially more popular in recent years as brands push to lower their overall carbon footprint. A conventional electric car design possesses far fewer moving parts , making the overall drivetrain a lot more efficient when compared to your average ICE design. Couple this with the fact that you don't need any fossil fuels to power an EV, and you'll find that this newer technology is a lot more of a logical choice for new automotive designs. Of course, this puts the debate of which configuration is more enjoyable to the side, as EVs generally have a reputation for being dull and soulless.

Eli Lilly LLY announced on Tuesday that it is now offering the two lowest doses of its popular weight loss drug Zepbound at approximately half the original price. The pharma giant said it has launched a single-dose vial option for Zepbound in an effort to meet soaring demand of the treatment. The lowered prices also make Zepbound more competitive with cheaper off-brand versions of the medication.

Tesla, the company that CEO Elon Musk claims will “solve autonomy,” has a problem: It turns out autonomy is hard. The company is totally definitely introducing a fully autonomous robotaxi this year, for realsies, yet it can’t even figure out how to make its cars self-drive through the Vegas Loop — a tunnel Musk himself had built.

Tesla's cars still can't fully self-drive through an empty tunnel

It’s been over a year since Tesla CEO Elon Musk agreed to open up the company’s Supercharger network to vehicles from other automakers. At the time, it was looked at as a great move for the auto industry and, in theory, it still is. However, more than 12 months later, Tesla’s network (with nearly 30,000 fast-charging plugs in the U.S. and Canada) is still pretty much inaccessible to folks who own non-Tesla EVs. Software delays and hardware shortages are apparently to blame.

Most other EVs still can’t use Tesla Superchargers - here's why
