From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Electric cars that helped started the current rise in EV sales are now rapidly approaching – if not passed – their tenth birthday.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. This week, we’ve seen more and more energy companies report obscenely large profits for 2022, mostly at the expense of people struggling to find money to pay bills… and of course the planet.

From Transport Evolved: Take 2. Earlier this Autumn we told you that we were on the look out for an electric garden tractor – and to be honest, we already had our eyes on a very cheap $100 ride-on lawn mower that had been converted to electric. It’s terrible in all the best ways, and…
