The debate between electric vehicles (EVs) and traditional gasoline-powered cars has intensified in recent years as environmental concerns and technological advancements converge. While some drivers remain hesitant to make the switch, others are embracing EVs as a more sustainable and cost-effective transportation option. One such enthusiast, Levi Rassler, shared his experience with owning an EV on social media as a comment under Torque News post on Facebook, highlighting the potential financial and environmental benefits of electric vehicles.

WHEN the low-battery warning flashed across the gauge cluster in my car, I immediately turned to Google Maps to find the nearest charging station. I was in the Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid. Thankfully, the car didn’t solely depend on the battery because I was about to encounter some rough road. CX-90 PHEV drivers can plug […]

Over the last five years, various automotive manufacturers have gone into overdrive with their hybrids and EVs. This is due to many reasons, with people wanting to limit the emissions from their vehicles or saving money on fuel costs. When it comes to hybrids, people can get the best of both worlds with excellent fuel economy with the help of a battery while still housing a gasoline-powered engine to give that extra grit. There's one characteristic that most hybrids share, and that's reliability. While there are hundreds of different SUV hybrid configurations around the world, one here in America has the highest reliability among its American cousins.

In 1981, pop-music sensation Andy Gibb was at the top of the charts. The younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, a.k.a. The Bee Gees, commenced a tumultuous romance with actress Victoria Principle, who played Pam Ewing on Dallas, TV's then-Number 1 prime-time series. But after the relationship ended, Andy's life, already challenged by substance abuse, did as well. This is their tragic story.

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.

Problems with the infrastructure of recharging stations and battery warranties have caused nearly 46% of U.S. drivers of electric vehicles to switch to combustion-powered units. This is a trend that specialists consulted by The News Journal said could happen on the island in the not too distant future for the same reasons.

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city.

On paper, plug-in hybrids offer the best of both worlds — electric power for daily driving and gas power for longer trips — but to get the most out of a PHEV, you have to charge it. Take the Toyota RAV4 Prime, for example. It has a 42-mile electric-only range, is rated at 94 MPGe and can drive 600 miles on a single tank of gas. Once your charge runs out, though, it only gets 38 mpg. So how frequently do owners charge their PHEVs? As InsideEVs points out, we don’t know because automakers won’t tell us.

Welcome back to EV Myths Discharged, where we're trying to fight the good fight against disinformation. In this case, anti-EV disinformation. We've been drawing mostly from social media for sources of these myths because that's largely where they spread. We started by addressing the notion that you're totally screwed if you own an EV in an emergency. Since then, in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl in Texas, we saw more evidence that it's EV owners who fare best in emergencies.
