Via Motors is is getting a lot of attention for its pioneering plans to bring a “mass market” electric truck to the show — VTrux. Now it’s getting even more attention for offering a solar tonneau to […]
UPDATE: Full BMW i3 review here. I was able to test drive about 8 electric vehicles in Barcelona over the past week. I will have longer reviews of many of them in the coming days or […]
I would say that the strong growth of 100% electric car and plug-in hybrid electric car US sales is really no longer a story — they’ve been growing strongly month after month without a break. However, […]

I can’t recall ever seeing Tesla CEO, Chairman, and Product Architect Elon Musk wearing a suit. That is, before watching the video below. One of the biggest “hits” to Tesla this year has been the fire […]
