Chevy Estimated Range for Silverado EV Work Truck Raised to 450 miles
When Chevrolet initially took the wraps off the Silverado EV last year, GM had estimated up to a 400 mile range based on its own calculations. As the Silverado EV has made its way through development, it went for EPA certification and came back with 50 miles more than GM's estimate. With this new EPA certification, the Silverado EV has an over 100-mile advantage over its only on-sale competitor the F-150 Lightning Extended Range (320 miles). The Silverado EV will launch first in WT trim with t
ChevroletAll New 2024 Toyota Tacoma Yearns For Adventure
The Toyota Tacoma has been the best-selling mid-size pickup in the U.S. for nearly 20 years. Holding such an important place in the lineup, Toyota has been very conservative with updates in the past. The outgoing generation ran for a full 7 years, but even that was based on a platform that dates all the way back to 2004. For 2024, the Tacoma sheds the old platform entirely and joins the Tundra and Sequoia on Toyota's new TNGA-F global truck platform. The 2024 Tacoma is the latest (and final)
ToyotaThe Ford Ranger Raptor Finally Comes to the US
After years of being forbidden fruit offered only in overseas markets, Ford has finally deemed the Ranger Raptor worthy enough to bring to the U.S. The biggest reason for the U.S. not getting the prior version was its standard diesel power and the inability of the platform to take a sizable V6 engine. When Ford redesigned the 2024 Ranger (read more about the 2024 Ford Ranger here), they made sure to alter the engine bay and chassis to accommodate a V6. Powering the Ranger Raptor is a 3.0-li

This study has some valid thoughts, but is wrong saying it applies to the whole nation. Being a California influenced study, yes in southern states it makes sense to probably recharge during the day. PNW it does not as hydro and wind is the big power source and here power consumption during the day is higher than at night. https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/stanford-study-warns-against-overnight-charging-of-electric-cars-at-home -

Excellent points. I just want to point out that while all charge networks have outages from time to time, the biggest offender by far seems to be Electrify America. EA is giving all EV chargers except Tesla a bad name. Remember that EA exists only because of a consent order a judge imposed on VW for the diesel fiasco. They are in a scramble to build out the specified size network by their deadline. They aren’t making a profit and aren’t really concerned with customer service. -
I do think the missing capability of V2V and V2G is a downside but they were quite specific to leave out some future details. i feel like come 2025, they may have that adaption and/or Fords may just come with both outlets to charge from. Also, what good does it do to be able to charge at 1000v chargers (if they became a thing down the road) if the network is always down and stopping charging mid-charge, and everything else that non-Tesla public chargers do? That's the rumor I read as well. Obviously nothing has been finalized or made official but THAT would be a great idea. Literally, the best of both worlds.
