From Trucked Up EVs. I have some concerns. Donut Lab has been very shrewd in how they’ve approached their reveal, both garnering global attention and also keeping a lot close to their chest to supposedly protect their interests from major players that could copy their discovery before they could ever get to market. But is…

From Trucked Up EVs. Tesla finally addressed the elephant in the room last week: acknowledging that its Cybertruck prices were too high.

From Trucked Up EVs. The Detroit Three don’t seem to be losing as much money making EVs as they are flushing billions trying to unload their EV assets. All the better for the competition!
From Trucked Up EVs. This is potentially horrible news, and the story is still unfolding, so all hope is not yet lost. We’ll have to see what Volkswagen and Scout Motors releases as more information develops – but VW has indicated it is on ice until at least 2028. Sources used in the making of…
From Trucked Up EVs. It sure looks that way. And although this is exactly what the market needs – an affordable, efficient flexible EV platform – maybe starting with a truck-shaped car might prove a poor decision by Ford.And Ford might have just made all the same mistakes that Tesla did with the Cybertruck by…

From Trucked Up EVs.

From Trucked Up EVs. We’ve all been waiting SO long for a compact ‘Kei Truck’ type EV utility truck for North America, and the Detroit Three just ignored the demand. Well, KIA might make the m pay for that oversight. The big question is will we be able to buy them. Well, it depends on…
From Trucked Up EVs. I know – here we go again: Yet another auto manufacturer walking back its EV truck variant in favour of an EREV.But there’s still hope, especially since there is one dangerous variable that might keep the Scout Terra pure EV truck on the assembly line. Sources used in making this video:…
From Trucked Up EVs. My wife says I’m a $#!% disturber – among other things. Well, I would hate to disappoint.

From Trucked Up EVs. It’s about time.

From Trucked Up EVs. Frequency. Convenience. Price. Location. These are often identified as just as important to an EV owner as the charging speed. The path toward widespread EV adoption might have less to do with fast chargers and more to do with what we do with the slow ones. Join my Patreon family &…
