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.

Do Electric Cars Have Transmissions?

Toyota has long expressed doubt that all-electric vehicles will one day completely take over for more traditional ICE models, though the automaker has invested heavily in EVs, regardless. At the same time, Toyota is also doing precisely what Ford has decided to do as of late – add more and more hybrid models to its lineup as those types of vehicle continue to enjoy a tremendous sales increase. Now, it seems as if the Japanese automaker may decide to go partially-electric across its entire American lineup at some point.

Doubly so in this age of social media, when some rumors are just so spicy that people refuse to stop peddling them, even when they’re obviously false. One such rumor is construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar’s supposed foray into the white-hot market of consumer pickup trucks. It’s not happening, but that hasn’t stopped the TikTokers, nor the articles on popular news hubs that thousands of people read every day. Let’s put this one to bed, shall we?

Wild scenes came out of Canada this week after an Ontario man was seen ramming and driving over police cars with a Ford Bronco in—get this—a Tim Hortons drive-thru line.
