This is probably just more of the Flood The Zone strategy, and the only eventual substantive outcome will be to slow down NEVI … as if it weren’t slow enough already, with only 55 (or lower, by some counts) stations built so far after Congressional authorization for the program back in 2021...

The technical details of this are beyond me: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a63410460/ride-quality-test/ ... but here's the bottomline: "The latest Porsche Taycan and Panamera E-Hybrid have an optional active suspension, one of only two such systems on the market today, so we were eager...

According to: https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/electric-vehicles/public-charging/using-the-dealer-dc-fast-charge-station/ Paying with Shell All electric vehicle (EV) drivers can use a Shell account to activate and pay with Ford Charge. To pay for your charge: Open the Shell App on your...

Or, why did the groundhog cross the interstate? Duh, to cause ~$16k in damage to a Taycan! (Well, okay, that wasn't its intention, but that sure is what happened.) By popular demand (i.e., request by a single poster) I am splitting off my coolant leak from the no-heat thread and creating a new...

Well lookee here, y'all need to quit your complainin' since it's now been scientifically statistically etc-ally proven -- the Taycan reliability is as good as it gets for a deeelucks EV! (That's not an SUV.) Usually I don't post ratings from Consumer Reports (pony up for a subscription you...

My Taycan really did fail its state safety inspection today! But it wasn't anything intrinsic to the Taycan. No, not the tires. (Or the 14-50 pigtail on the EVSE, hah!) Instead, the front windshield had been tinted by the original owner (in cloudy Seattle, go figure!). And Massachusetts...

Ah, a Porsche Taycan! It's a fantastic car, but let's have some fun roasting it: Wow, you're really taking that "driving on the edge" thing seriously! Is this the part where your Porsche decides it's tired of charging and just rolls itself off the mountain? Nice to see the Porsche Taycan out in...

Or maybe not? (The even funnier part is that at the time of the review, the Better Business Bureau rating was a D!)

What, no posts yet on the July 31 reveal? Come on, you know you're curious -- if only to confirm your bias in favor of the Taycan's superiority! My take, as a potential past A6/S6 e-tron purchaser: Sure glad I didn't decide last summer to wait until its debut, as I would have been waiting...

Apologies in advance for the potential tease, since this is probably behind a paywall for anyone who isn't a WSJ subscriber. (Will probably be posted to Jalopnik soon in summary form, since that's a frequent feature there.) But the WSJ obtained hacked footage of Tesla Autopilot crashes, many of...

Our home charger installation was relatively simple since we have a 200a panel. (Snaking the line from the panel in the basement ski workshop to the garage was another matter! Fortunately the quote in advance was fixed-fee, since it took two person-days, one of which was two electricians...

Drove our daughter today to meet a friend in The Big City. Okay, so a northern suburb of Boston, but either way, far bigger than western Mass. Seemed like the roundtrip would leave little margin in cold temps so looked at PlugShare for L2 options during the 2.5 hrs she’d be wandering about with...

As the on-line configurator states: "Luggage net for the rear compartment that is hung from the roof lining to separate the occupants from luggage in the rear." I had this in my theoretical new spec, and it happened to come with my used CT. The other day, I reached for a nondescript long...

Or rather, it all made sense back in January 2020. More precisely, it was made sense of back in January 2020 via this article: https://insideevs.com/news/389891/exclusive-interview-electrify-america-problems-solutions/ … combined with the benefit of almost four years of increasingly...

Can I reasonably expect that this will be done in a single day? The nearest dealer is an hour away, so I don't want to have to return another day.

Vote once, vote often!

Part 1: Planning & Packing The Brewster NY Magic Dock was in the original rollout. But somehow I’d never noticed that it takes me something like only one minute longer than my usual route from Western Mass to NYC. Like almost all Tesla Superchargers stations, located along an interstate...

Must have been here: https://www.plugshare.com/location/314458 ... which receives strong reviews on both PlugShare and Google, although according to the caption: "This charging station in Grovetown, Ga., was overcrowded. An electric school bus that was driving on a statewide clean-energy road...

My new-to-me 2022 4CT arrived Friday 3:10am, title arrived ~noon, registered by 5pm (barely, long wait!), drove this weekend locally, then fun driving this weekend. (Composing this while daughter is engaged in an art project at Mass MOCA.) Had just enough time for a state inspection this...
