From Transport Evolved. We’ve got the worst of bad news…

From Transport Evolved. One of the reasons Nikki decided to buy a Ford F150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range pickup was so she could run her rural home in a power cut directly from the truck. But ever since her Ford Charge Station Pro and Ford Home Integration System was installed, she’s had mixed results when…

From Transport Evolved. A little while ago MIT published a paper on Concrete Supercapacitors – and you all asked us to look a little deeper into it. What does this simple, cheap energy storage solution mean, how could it work, and how good is it? We run the numbers and see whether this technique could…

From Transport Evolved. 2023 has been full of investment in and development of semi-autonomous vehicle technology, mostly level 2 – but with some level 3 capabilities thrown into the mix. It’s also been a year of broken promises from numerous autonomous vehicle startups, mainstream automakers, and newer companies wanting to revolutionize the way we travel.…

From Transport Evolved. Mercedes-Benz has quickly pushed out a range of different electric vehicles in the last few years, from its oh-so-expensive EQS and sibling EQS SUV through to its more bank-balance friendly EQA and EQB. Earlier this year, we put the EQE through its paces, Merc’s E-class EV. And now we’re getting our hands…

From Transport Evolved. We’re just about two weeks away from the first deliveries of Tesla’s Cybertruck, but we’ve also started to see an increase in speculation about the truck and its impact on the market. Earlier this week, Tesla’s online sales contract seemed to suggest it would ask Cybertruck customers to not sell their vehicles…

From Transport Evolved. Earlier this year, multiple legacy automakers announced their intent to switch from CCS Type 1 in North America to NACS – Tesla’s Supercharger inlet. Now, as we approach the end of the year, the majority of automakers that supply North American customers have announced their intent to switch to NACS, and, come…

From Transport Evolved. It’s been a month or so since we first purchased our 16-year old Vectrix VX-1 Electric Maxi Scooter, and in the time since, we’ve carried out some basic maintenance.

From Transport Evolved. When Ford rolled out an over-the-air software update at the start of October, the hope was that it would fix our ongoing issues with the Ford Home Integration System.

From Transport Evolved. After spending the last few years promising that they were all-in on electric vehicles, automaker after automaker is now announcing delays to their previously stated electric vehicle plans. Even Tesla, which has historically dominated the EV marketplace, appears worried about the next few years of sales as the economy shows signs of…

From Transport Evolved. It’s well-proven that when we practice (or even think) about what to do in an accident that we’re more prepared and able to make smarter, safer decisions when it happens for real – so today, as the weather in the Northern Hemisphere tracks toward snow and ice,, we’re re-examining what to do…

From Transport Evolved. …It turns out the bolts that didn’t completely strip weren’t that much better. Those of a nervous disposition should probably look away – but everyone else can see the full video at https://youtu.be/BxiplJVZzP8?feature=shared

From Transport Evolved. *Editorial* – Due to Kate producing this week’s show (not Nikki) we had to film this a little earlier than usual. This means some major news stories (such as Ford also pushing back EV plans) hasn’t been included. We’ll be covering that next week. Welcome to today’s show! This week, GM gave…

From Transport Evolved.

We’ve also covered why we think there’s a lot of gatekeeping in the EV repair industry…

From Transport Evolved. During our most recent visit to Aptera in San Diego, we were given the chance to drive Aptera Gamma for the first time – https://youtu.be/cHXuoZ1KHdI – in a video that was later misrepresented by some terrible reporting from The Sun – https://youtube.com/live/IL_UU3f3I6o Today though, we’re rounding off our visit to Aptera with…

From Transport Evolved. One of the talking points that seems remarkably persistent is that in the event of a massive EMP, either as a result of a natural disaster or because of a terrorist attack, would lead to electric vehicles being disabled… But that gasoline and diesel vehicles would be just fine. Kate looks into…

From Transport Evolved. Electric vehicles are more affordable to operate than internal combustion engine vehicles – and if you’re able to find a well maintained one on the used car market, they can provide reliable daily use for many, many years.

From Transport Evolved. If you’re able to buy a brand new electric car, there are plenty of great vehicles for you to pick from. But if you’re looking to buy a used electric car, it can be a bit of a minefield determining which vehicles will suit your needs and remain well-supported long after they’re…

From Transport Evolved. Last year, when Nikki and her partner decided to replace one of their two Chevrolet Bolt EVs with a Ford F150 Lightning Lariat, they – and we here at the channel – came under a lot of criticism for buying a massive, inefficient electric vehicle – in fact one of the largest…

From Transport Evolved. Last year, not long after we purchased our Ford F150 Lightning Lariat Extended range, Tyler Hoover, of @HooviesGarage made a video complaining about his own experiences with his Ford F150 Lightning Standard range.

From Transport Evolved. The UAW (Union of Automotive Workers) is currently engaging in industrial action at many production facilities operated by Ford, General Motors and Stellantis in the U.S. In Canada, its sibling union, Unifor, is engaged in its own industrial action.

From Transport Evolved. There’s been a spate of (mainly) right wing talking heads and lobbyists appearing on cable news, shared on facebook (or other social media), and across the press, claiming that pollution and poor air quality isn’t harmful to human health.

From Transport Evolved. Welcome to today’s show!
