Electric : Car News And Reviews

Lucid Motors has officially confirmed details on its first electric vehicle that will come to the market, the Lucid Air. The electric vehicle sounds very impressive on paper, promising up to 1080 horsepower in the Air Dream Edition, a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration.

When people need to move a large family, SUVs are all fine and good, but they aren’t always the most spacious or comfortable inside, and often the fuel economy leaves a lot to be desired. Some shoppers who don’t like SUVs still turn to minivans and one of the best and most popular is the Chrysler Pacifica, which has been revamped for 2021.

What you’re looking at is the first factory-made electrified Jeep Wrangler in the history of the venerable vehicle. While the off-roader is now greener and can drive up to 25 miles on electricity alone, it still features the same off-road Trail Rated capabilities as other Wrangler models.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume has announced that the automaker is delaying the Cross Turismo version of the Taycan electric sports car. Blume said the company isn’t canceling the project. The company just wants to focus their efforts on producing the regular Taycan models that are already available and have been extremely popular with both buyers and reviewers.

Made from 2009 to 2015, the first-generation Toyota Venza established a small, but loyal following. But its squashed minivan styling limited its appeal in a market that was moving towards the car-like character of crossovers. Thus, the Venza went away back in 2015.

Bollinger Motors, the company behind the B1 electric SUV and B2 electric pickup, has announced yet another a new vehicle. The Bollinger Deliver-E van is designed specifically for the delivery and medium-duty truck fleet industry. The Deliver-E will be offered with several different battery packs, including 70, 105, 140, 175, and 210 kWh units.

Queue up the classic Berlin song from Top Gun and check out the latest vehicle from Prior Design. The gorgeous Porsche Taycan Turbo S by Prior Design will undoubtedly take your breath away. The most notable feature of the modified Taycan is the very racy looking widebody kit.

Zero Labs has made a name for itself taking Classic Ford Broncos and turning them into electric vehicles. The company is back again, and this time it’s taking an icon of the British off-road scene and making it battery-powered.

Many automakers have been moving out of states where unions are common, such as northern states and California, instead moving into southern states such as Texas, where unions are rare. Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk have announced that the location for the hotly contested Cybertruck factory has been chosen.

Ford Performance has unveiled a one-of-a-kind creation, inspired by the new Mustang Mach-E. Dubbed the “Mach-E 1400,” the number in its name points to the insane amount of horsepower that its electric propulsion system produces. The car’s powertrain uses seven electric motors, and an ultra-high-performance battery.

There’s a lot to be said about mixing classic old school cars with modern electric powertrains. Take this vintage Jaguar XK120. It is a beautiful car that would’ve originally had an inline-6 engine under the hood.

Ford has announced that customers interested in buying a Mustang Mach-E can now place their orders. That means that the hordes of people around the United States who plunked down $500 to reserve one of the electric crossovers can now convert those reservations to official orders.

Despite any rumors that sedans are going away, the 4-door passenger car is alive and well, and as far as I’m concerned, better than ever when it comes to the current selection – especially when it comes to the mid-size segment.

Anyone who’s shopped for an electric vehicle knows that the range estimates provided by automakers and the EPA aren’t necessarily what you’ll see in the real world. A variety of factors impact the electric driving range, including temperature, weather, and how heavy the driver’s right foot is, among other things.

I’m already a fan of the current Toyota RAV4. It’s quite good in both its gas and hybrid versions, and represents a major upgrade over the previous generation, both aesthetically and functionally. So when Toyota announced it was working on a plug-in hybrid version of the RAV4 that made 302 horsepower, my curiosity was definitely piqued.
