Word on the street is that Richard Branson may jump into the electric car market with his Virgin empire. The hype around the news has been a little overblown, I think, as his statements were very […]
When word came out that Nissan would be bringing an electric version of its NV200 to market, the question many had was whether or not there’d be a 7-set version of the van. When the e-NV200 […]
Well, Renault already brought the Twizy to North America (if you want to be literal) — it was displayed at the 2015 Québec City International Auto Show — but the question implied in the headline is, […]
I’d say that the Volkswagen e-Golf was already one of the more competitive electric cars on the market, but it is now getting even more competitive, with a new low MSRP of $33,450 in the US […]
The Renault ZOE is one of my favorite electric cars on the market. It may not be a sleek Fisker Karma, the world’s best mass-market automobile (Tesla Model S), or even the slightly more affordable but still […]

Update with Steve Jurvetson’s pictures here: Awesome Pics of Elon Musk & Tesla Motors Board at Gigafactory A member of the Tesla Motors Club Forum noticed yesterday (or very early today) that Steve Jurvetson (a major investor […]
I often include Ford in my grouping of top 5 companies most serious about bringing electric cars to market. It sits at a questionable #5 behind Tesla, Nissan, BMW, and GM simply because it offers its Energi models to a […]
There are some great electric car ads out there, but there are also a lot that are complete crap. Sometimes it seems like we are back in the 1990s and manufacturers are really trying not to sell […]
I noticed an interesting sales comparison on the Tesla Motors Club forum today (thanks, RobStark). It was a table showing 2014 sales data for the top large luxury cars in the USA… minus Tesla, since Tesla […]
The Shanghai-based Internet company Zhangmen Technology has reportedly gifted 36 of its 50 employees with Tesla Model S electric cars as year-end bonuses. CEO Chen Danian said the cars were to award the employees for their hard work. […]
