From Transport Evolved: Take 2. While we’ve covered the thorny topic of after-sales support and service plenty of times on this channel, the U.S. Federal Government’s recent push against EVs has us wondering if this will impact the support and repairability of the EVs already on the road. Second, we want to hear from you:…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. The weather this past week at the house has been beastly – and much of the Pacific Northwest is under water. The mud at the house – not to mention the more than a foot of rain – has left gardening off the table. Will Nikki get her plot ready…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. This week, the U.S. President blamed fuel economy standards and electric vehicles for rising average vehicle costs. The reality, as we all know, is very different. But what would you say is the primary cause of EV (and non-EV) sticker prices rising. Is it the tech? —- About The Transport…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Fresh off the Hydro-Hen fiasco, Nikki noticed the chicken feed disappearing faster than usual… 🐔💨 After some sleuthing—inspecting the coop, checking security footage, and staring suspiciously at the neighbors—she discovered the culprit: pretty much every animal and bird in the neighborhood, exploiting a tiny gap in the wire mesh! Join…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. On her recent trip from Portland to LA — and back — Nikki ran into a wide range of charging prices along the way. Some stations were surprisingly reasonable… others? Not so much. So today, as folks return from the Thanksgiving holidays, we’re asking a simple question: what exactly counts…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Happy Thanksgiving Week! We’re all taking the week off- and Nikki’s busy making things for the carvera air… so she can finish off those Vectrix VX-1 parts!

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. For years, many of us — including countless EV advocates and fans — have been telling automakers that smaller, more efficient electric vehicles will sell, and that buyers are ready for them. But after a decade of being told they should desire ever-larger, ever-more-powerful vehicles with ballooning footprints and horsepower…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Earlier this year, Nikki replaced the cracked, leaking base of her chicken watering tube with a custom-designed, 3D-printed upgrade she proudly dubbed the Hydro-Hen. But there’s a problem. She keeps finding it destroyed in the coop — the water gone, the valve ripped clean out, and the whole unit in…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. In some parts of the world, political influence and old-fashioned FUD mean EVs are still being sidelined by automakers less than eager to build them. But there are plenty of used EVs out there that are perfectly capable of being everyday drivers — and they still need after-sales support. After…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. With a brief break in last weekend’s relentless rain, Nikki headed outside with good intentions: tame the raspberries, clear some brush, and generally convince the vegetable plots to look a little less like a forgotten jungle. But after getting into a good rhythm… she managed to break not one, but two garden…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, the chances are the temperature is starting to drop. And if you’re sufficiently far north (or high in altitude) it means snow, ice, and more are on the way. But how do you prepare your EV for winter weather? What tips and tricks do…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. As Nikki procrastinates on the tasks that need to be done before the winter truly sets in, she’s been having some problems with the WiFi for her chicken coop. Yes, the chickens have WiFi – and yes, they tried turning it off and on again 😉 —- About The Chicken…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. This week, Nikki recalls the time she towed a tiny house across a farm with her first F150 Lightning pickup truck — way beyond its rated towing capacity! It got her thinking: what unconventional things have you done with your EV (or any other vehicle) that the designers never intended?…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. The temperature is dropping, and outdoor chores are becoming less appealing — but just when Nikki thought she’d finished the season’s potato harvest, the garden had one last surprise in store! —- About The Chicken and Garden Updates: These informal, unscripted vlog-style videos are a chance for the team to…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. For the past few years, EVs have been getting larger and larger. But as automakers shift priorities — and some commit to smaller vehicles — we’re wondering: what’s the perfect sized vehicle for you… and those you care about?

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. We are very much now into the colder weather – and living in the country comes with it some unfortunate side-effects — including the fact that field mice like to seek warmer, drier places to live over winter. While we’ve been very good at keeping our home rodent-free, some gaps…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. For the last few months, Nikki’s been fighting a losing battle with two leaky chicken waterers that emptied themselves in hours. Instead of buying new ones, she broke out her 3D-modeling skills, fired up her Bambu X1C (running open, non-locked firmware, of course!), and printed a replacement bottom cap. It…

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. We’re accelerating through the autumn, and like many creators, we’re feeling the squeeze as YouTube keeps shifting the goalposts. That’s why we’re going back to basics: grassroots support from the amazing TE community. When we launched Patreon in 2015, it was meant to supplement YouTube ads, but today it’s what…
