Welcome to Transport Evolved! Join us every day for content from NIkki Gordon-Bloomfield, Kate Walton-Elliott, and Erin Carlie as they explore and explain the world of cleaner, greener, safer, and smarter transport. Between us, we’ve got more than 20 years of driving cleaner, greener vehicles, and we believe that the future of transport depends on a whole lot more than one company!
From Tesla to Toyota and Faraday Future to Ford, we provide analysis and insight in a balanced and independent way.
From Transport Evolved. We’ve talked about range anxiety on this channel a lot – and offered our own take on how to combat it on long-distance trips and during daily driving. Sadly, many people seem to think that range anxiety can be solved with ever-increasingly large battery packs and ultra-fast charging, but as many established…

From Transport Evolved. While we’ve covered the topic of vehicle security before (including asking if phone-as-a-key is really safe) – we’ve seen plenty of videos and news stories of late discussing the capabilities of the Flipper Zero, and implying that it’s possible to hack everything from electric cars to charging stations with them. The reality…
From Transport Evolved. We’re seeing more and more incidents of fatalities and serious injuries occurring in which semi-autonomous driver assistance systems are suspected of playing a part. That’s to be expected: there are more vehicles on the road today with semi-autonomous driver assistance features than at any point before in history, and while these systems…

From Transport Evolved. Tesla’s Supercharger Network has long been viewed as a pinnacle of EV fast charging by many in the automotive industry. In Europe, Superchargers are an important part of the wider EV charging landscape (thanks to the fact that all EVs in Europe use CCS Type 2 charging connectors). In the U.S. and…
From Transport Evolved. Public charging infrastructure has been the weak point of the EV transition with a reputation (outside of Tesla) of being poorly placed and often unreliable. But with the recent large investments across the world, and the fact that companies are starting to see future profits from Charging Networks, are we about to…

From Transport Evolved. For many years, we were fans of the JuiceBox line of charging stations. They were well made, durable, and offered some pretty advanced energy management features at a competitive price. And, while they were still being made by EMotorWerks – the original company that designed them, service and support was pretty good.…

From Transport Evolved. We’re about to see a flood of new plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and hybrids hitting markets across the world. Particularly in the US, but other countries are likely to follow suit. That’s because the US recently passed a new rule that requires substantial emissions reductions from the transportation sector. But between the rule…
From Transport Evolved. After replacing our crashed F150 Lightning (Adira Tal) with a new, slightly less equipped model which we’re calling Ortegas, we’ve been adding the various aftermarket accessories our original Truck. We’ve already added a BedRug Impact – and today we’re adding a Retrax PowertraxPRO XR – but rather than follow the official install…

From Transport Evolved. There’s never been a better time to get behind the wheel of a new electric car, thanks to massive dealer discounts and generous incentives. But what should you know about the buying process before you walk in the door? What terms might you need to know? And how do you know if…
From Transport Evolved. We’ve covered the spread of disinformation surrounding electric cars for some time on this channel – and in our news roundup shows, we’ve shared news that EV sales are continuing to rise, despite what naysayers might say. But in its latest survey into EV attitudes, Gallup has discovered an increase in the…
From Transport Evolved. For the best grip in winter weather, it’s always advisable to buy your EV a set of high-quality winter tires, swapping them out in the middle of spring for ones designed for summer weather. But earlier this year, Nokian unveiled a new set of all-weather tires that are not only designed for…

From Transport Evolved. In 2018, a Tesla Model X being driven by an Apple engineer by the name of Walter Huang was involved in a collision along California’s state route 101 in Mountain-View, California. The impact of the collision was enough to split the car in two and cause Huang to later die of blunt-force…
From Transport Evolved. We’re heading into the warmer months of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and with some long weekends coming up in the next few months – not to mention people planning get-away breaks. And if you’re one of the many thousands of people around the world who purchased an electric vehicle in…
From Transport Evolved. We’re often asked about which vehicles people should consider on the used car market, and we’ve made plenty of videos on that topic in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAucCYEbiVY But what about if you’re someone who is eager to get their hands a little dirty (because it’s an EV not an ICE car!) and…

From Transport Evolved. For a very long time, the general wisdom in the EV world was that legacy automakers should be avoided at all costs – and that true EV customers only purchased EVs from startups and dedicated non-ICE-making automakers. But is that still the case? Do EV only brands still have the advantage over…
From Transport Evolved. There are plenty of bonuses to owning an electric car – including lower running and maintenance costs, no-more queuing for fossil fuels, and the ability to power it using power you generate at home. But we think there’s one new feature that every new EV you consider should have – Vehicle to…
From Transport Evolved. It’s April 1st, and while we’ve often delved into a little mischief in past years, this year, we decided to do something a little different: ask Chat GPT (and other large language models or LLMs) what they thought about EVs. So, we crafted a pretty loaded prompt that we hoped would cause…

From Transport Evolved. This year hasn’t been a good one for EV startup Fisker, with more and more bad news hitting the company. It started with poor financials, then widening concerns over liquidity. This week, a rumored deal appears to have fallen through with a major automaker and Fisker has found itself delisted from the…
From Transport Evolved. At the end of February, Tesla opened up its Supercharger network to Ford EV customers in North America – and since then Rivian has also gained access for its customers. In the next few weeks, it’s expected Chevrolet will also gain access for its customers. But while European EV drivers are now…
From Transport Evolved. Pretty much every modern EV today comes with some form of Telematics as standard – and we’re often asked if it’s something that people should activate, make use of, or instead ignore it in order to insure maximum security. But in a world where telematics and OTA updates are intrinsically linked, it…

From Transport Evolved. A few years ago we got the chance to test out the Polestar 2 for the first time – and we had some opinions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zba2KmF6KU But since then, Polestar has re-engineered the drivetrain and battery pack of its single-motor Polestar 2 – and made it a rear-wheel drive rather than front-wheel drive…
