What's that old racing adage? "If you're not accelerating or charging, you're wasting time." After several road trips, I figured the most aggravating aspect of charging is dead time - waiting for a charger, battling app/car issues (whether it's PnC or trying to find the fastest dispenser) - it's...

In a previous life, while living in Germany, I'd reach 220km/h (~135mph) fairly frequently. It was intense, but one gets used to it. I managed to max out my E46 330Ci once - to 250km/h (~155mph). A long, sweeping, large radius turn became a white knuckle moment with just those extra 15mph. And...

Laudable initiative, and good ideas. A bit light on tech aspects, but I guess that’s expected from that type of presentation. I wish them success and good luck as they’ll go through the painful lessons of discovering just how much of that de-decentralization is enough to retain the level of...

Good points, but then again there aren't many 2-seater EVs on the market, either. That bumper is, of course, not the final shape/form, and the port can be protected better than in the image. Rivian's front placement works, too, and that would also be a position subjected to the elements. The...

Can you expand on why you think so? Placement-wise seems to be pretty smart/efficient, and the same for a cost perspective. Usability does not seem to be affected (even towing might work), which leaves .. impact concerns?

Interesting article, thanks for sharing. It seems to attribute the direction of the group to the CEO, casting some aspersions on the recently departed Diess. At the same time, there's a bit of praise for BMW (which is where Diess came from). It's not the first time a BMW guy came in to take VW...

Everything I read seems to indicate those 8-10% is all of the degradation, as batteries settle into a plateau for the rest of their expected lifetime. Not to be a contrarian, but I would gladly trade gains in weight (erm, that'd be losses, rather) over improvements in any other aspect of...

I'm definitely past the age of assuming I can change someone's mind if it's not readily apparent they are open to it. So I'd just encourage would-be polemicists to read U.S. energy facts explained - consumption and production - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and make up their own...

Could you expand a bit on why? My one bit of trepidation about going from a Macan to a 4CT is ground clearance (in the wheel travel sense, not ease of entry or driving position). I'm kinda hoping that's not your reason for wanting to go in the opposite direction.

The "strange aero bits" are the new Offroad Design Package Evo II. The exhaust ports are plastered on to throw off the unsuspecting.
