https://insideevs.com/news/703114/nissan-us-bev-sales-2023q4/ A drip of good news for Nissan: Ariya is selling more than a year ago The larger picture: Total NIssan EV sales in the US are under 20k in 2023. In a world (and in the US, albeit behind the curve) where EV sales are measured in...

https://www.npr.org/2023/06/08/1181166015/gm-tesla-charging-network-evs Fantastic news, and it did not take long. Perhaps M. Barra is not as dense as she seems Poor Nissan. They finally ditch CHAdeMO ... for the losing competitor.

https://electrek.co/2023/05/25/ford-will-add-tesla-plug-to-its-electric-vehicles-in-surprising-move/ The Tesla plug is obviously superior, and the Tesla Supercharger network is leaps and bounds superior to CCS. Still, I would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall inside Ford headquarters. I very...

https://insideevs.com/news/664799/2023-nissan-leaf-price-epa-range/ The article tl;dr is that without the Fed EV credit, the 60 kWh LEAF at 212 miles EPA range MSRP is the same cost as the 272 EPA mile range Tesla Model 3. The LEAF could barely (to the tune of about 800 cars a month in the USA...

https://electrek.co/2023/04/05/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-debuts-in-with-more-range-and-style/ In many ways it looks and reads like a Bolt EUV, except the 10% - 80% SoC DC charging is almost twice as fast. The Kona even has skinny seats so that debilitated, fat Americans have something to...

https://electrek.co/2023/02/08/another-study-shows-plug-in-hybrids-are-dirtier-than-we-thought/ The momentum is building to cut PHEVs out of the subsidy pie. Past time

This is a snippet from an article at 'autoblog' with my bolding Some people love to quote simple numbers of plugs, but when we look a little closer and include quality metrics we see what every person who has traveled on both the CCS and Tesla networks learns: the Tesla network is by far the...

This article appears to be written in support of the Tesla plug as a national standard instead of or in addition to CCS when it comes to fast DC charging. Despite the apparent agenda and charger types which are really not relevant to CHAdeMO enabled car owners, I thought it useful to post here...

https://www.engadget.com/national-ev-charging-network-standards-proposal-134110706.html Someone caught on to the miserable state of public charging upkeep outside of the Tesla network. Good for them And a minimum of four 150 kW chargers at each location is not a bad start. CCS only

https://insideevs.com/news/590506/polestar-3-suv-372-mile-range-shown-first-undisguised-photo/ 372 WLTP should match Tesla Model Y 330 mile EPA. I think this is the first non Tesla I find interesting from outside of China.

My PSA is really this: Don't be afraid to buy generic, so long as the spec matches Buy a bag of them. My car started making funny noises a couple of weeks ago, and a short visit under the car identified the culprit: more than one piece of the undercover was flapping. I've taken that cover (and...

My LEAF started making a clicking/clacking noise when I was driving home today. I didn't try to pinpoint what type of driving brought the noise out, although it did seem more pronounced during a braking event. At home I took the wheels off and checked the boots which looked in fine condition...

So far as I know, Tesla is the first EV manufacturer to manage this feat (with an LFP battery, no less !) as shown by Bjorn Nyland in his 1000 km challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKds_q6A44k&list=RDCMUCG1QcV31eoSaX4rE8avQL4A Most of the magic comes down to two things: 1. Battery...

China is THE place for new companies making EVs, and specifically low(er) priced EVs with LFP batteries. For now most of them are only sold in China but that is expected to change rapidly, first with exports to Asia and India and Europe. The Ora good cat is made by 'Great Wall,' and is a Zoe...

Taken from Electrek: https://electrek.co/2021/10/01/tesla-tsla-pushes-norway-electric-car-sales-yet-another-record/ An article from ebil notes that personal car purchases have reached 91% BEV but the transition is lagging for company cars (albeit still impressive.)

Taken from https://www.electrifyamerica.com/assets/pdf/cycle3_investment_plan_epa.a19109d1.pdf As justification for the change, EA notes the reduction in CHAdeMO usage

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-vs-ford-mach-e-porsche-taycan-vw-id4-1k-mile-race-video/ People love races, although I would not extrapolate their findings too far when it comes to how a regular Joe drives and experiences an EV. In the race, the Tesla cars dominated courtesy of the Supercharger...

I recently sold my Clipper Creek EVSE to a forum member and bought a Grizzl-E instead. This in no way reflects poorly on Clipper but was mostly from my desire to have a 40 Amp EVSE instead of the 32 Amps I had, and a hope to integrate the new EVSE into a smart home network in the near future...

https://www.electrive.com/2021/05/10/france-writes-off-chademo-standard-in-new-legislation/ Until now France required all DC charging locations to also install CHAdeMO. The edict was slated to run through 2024, but has now been canceled. I'm actually surprised it was still required but I guess...
