From Transport Evolved: Take 2. At the start of this year, we asked you what skills you were planning on learning or honing this year – and now we’ve ended the first quarter, we thought it was time for a check up. Just which skills have you learned – and which ones haven’t you learned…
From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Nikki’s garden is well and truly alive with the sounds and smells of spring.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Way back in 2023, Kate ordered a small open-source mini-laptop. And foolishly, she promised that she’d do an unboxing and review for the TE’s Take-Two, since it seems we have the occasional geeky fan. …Unfortunately, things didn’t go quite to plan, so here’s the story of Kate’s unboxing and what…
From Transport Evolved: Take 2. As the U.S. Federal Government looks unlikely to renew the legislation that allows California the ability to et its own HOV-lane access perks for EVs, we’ve got a very simple question in today’s Sunday Musing… which may have a very complicated answer: How would YOU tackle congestion? — Sunday Musings…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. EVs are coming under increasing pressure to pay road taxes that are higher than those used for gas vehicles – to offset lost gas taxes.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. [Editorial note: Nikki here – I’m afraid to note that I didn’t publish this on time, even though it was released to Patreon supporters on time. I wish I had a good excuse – but it was the weekend – and we were doing our taxes 🙁 ] This week…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Since the latest U.S. inauguration, the U.S. President has opted to allow an unelected tech (and EV) CEO to have unfettered access to the Federal Government, its inner workings, and confidential tax and payment information that usually requires high levels of security clearance.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. We’re now seeing new proposals surface from the U.S. government that would seek to tax EV owners more to drive electric.
