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. Anderson Economic Group updated their study looking at the cost to fuel internal combustion engine vehicles and EVs. And claim that it’s cheaper to fuel a mid-price gas car than it is to fuel an EV. But that doesn’t tally with experience, so what’s going on? Kate digs in and plays with…
From Transport Evolved. While everyone on the team drives a plug-in vehicle, both Erin and Michael – who both rent houses — own plug-in hybrids in the form of the second and first generation Chevrolet Volts, respectively. But over the weekend, Michael’s Volt started to experience some very bizarre behavior. And with rent prices continually…
From Transport Evolved. Climate change science has been around since the 19th century, and yet in the US we’re still having a debate about the accuracy of the science.

From Transport Evolved. When buying parts for your car, it’s easy to get confused about which part you actually need – especially when you’re talking to someone on the telephone. But as we discovered in this staff car update, it’s important to make sure you’re getting the right part – or you may end up…
From Transport Evolved. Last Friday, Aptera announced the details of its Launch Edition model. It included all-wheel drive, a 400-mile claimed range, and solar panels on roof, bonnet and tailgate. But one things missing was DC Fast Charging – an option that many people were disappointed to see missing. Now Aptera’s done an about-turn, and…
From Transport Evolved. There’s been some changes in the last year in the politics of the world which means we’re going to have to make some tough editorial decisions.
From Transport Evolved. It’s been more than a decade since mainstream automakers began to make electric vehicles. Yet for many buyers, the electric car they want doesn’t exist yet… even though there’s never been more choice in the electric car market. Today, we’re going to examine why that is. Linkback: Watch Kate’s Video about how…

From Transport Evolved. We love hearing about long-distance trips on this channel, and we’ve made several of them over the years in our own electric vehicles. But our trips have been nothing quite like serial adventurer Louis Cole from @FunForLouis, who just drove a self-converted Volkswagen Microbus from Los Angeles to New York in time…
From Transport Evolved. We’ve had some questions and concerns about how we film on the road – here’s some ways we make that safe…
From Transport Evolved. We’re only two weeks into the new U.S. legislative session, and there have already been a slew of new laws and resolutions proposed by lawmakers across the country. But in Wyoming last week, a resolution caught our attention. Not only was it badly reported by many outlets – but it was also…
From Transport Evolved. Ever since the birth of the automobile luxury cars have had a substantial lead in terms of comfort and quiet. But with the advent of EVs has that lead disappeared?

From Transport Evolved. Earlier this month, we showed you around the refreshed 2023 Kia Niro Ev, a car that’s much more than just a bunch of cosmetic changes over the original Kia Niro EV (e-Niro). Now though, we’re taking it out on the road. And there’s a very good reason we’re falling in love with…
From Transport Evolved. Last week at CES 2023, Mercedes-Benz announced that it had received official permission from the U.S. State of Nevada (and would soon receive permission from the State of California) to flip the switch on Drive Pilot – its Level 3 autonomous driver assistance feature.

From Transport Evolved. We’ve owned our Ford F150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range pickup truck (which we’ve called ‘Adira Tal’) since the end of Jun 2022.

From Transport Evolved. Last year on this channel, we drove a LOT of high-end electric cars that weren’t really applicable to most car buyers. And believe us, we wanted to get behind the wheel of far more affordable, practical cars! At the end of last year, we got our wish when we spent a week…

From Transport Evolved. This year, we’ve driven a lot of interesting electric vehicles covering a wide range of different market segments and styles. But there’s one vehicle we’ve not been able to get our hands on this year – until now. It’s a vehicle so outside of the bounds of normal that it’s hard to…
From Transport Evolved. Welcome back to another weekly roundup in the world of cleaner, greener, safer and smarter vehicles! And if you’re watching this earlier than usual, it’s because we’re releasing it a little early. We know you probably have a lot of things to do in the next few days, so wanted to give…

From Transport Evolved. When Telsa announced the opening of its charging connector and the creation of the North American Charging Standard there were a lot of very excited Tesla blogs proclaming the end of CCS in the United States.

From Transport Evolved. Tyler from @HooviesGarage has been making more waves in the EV world by making a video detailing what appears to be terrible winter range for his Ford F150 Lightning standard range.

From Transport Evolved. We’re ending our run of press cars for 2022 with the most ridiculous vehicle we think we’ve ever driven… the 2023 Hummer EV. It’s loud. It’s Big. And while everyone knows it can drive quickly… we wanted to know how efficiently it could be driven. The answer? Well, it’s a little depressing…
From Transport Evolved. Back in 2012, Nikki got to drive the Volvo C30 Electric – a limited-production all-electric vehicle based on the C30 hatchback.

From Transport Evolved. Our Kia Niro EV press loaner has just been switched out for a Hummer EV – and… well, it’s not off to a good start.

From Transport Evolved. The Ford F150 Lightning is proving itself to be an incredibly competent and versatile electric pickup truck, and in the time we’ve owned our (coming up on six months), we’ve covered nearly 12,000 miles. But even though this full-size extended-range pickup truck has all-wheel drive and plenty of torque, its stock General…
From Transport Evolved. Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and his rapid changes to the platform has added a level of complexity to his life. That purchase was leveraged with loans against his large holding of Tesla stock. Some of his recent actions appear to have opened him, and Twitter, up to significant legal challenges. They’ve…
From Transport Evolved. There’s a lot packed into this week’s show – including Tesla’s launch of the Tesla Semi (deliveries are now occurring), a bunch of OTHER electric trucks get delivered the same week – and the case of a Ford F150 Lightning that stopped working after being plugged into an Electrify America Station. Enjoy!…
