"A lot of people criticize Tesla for being so dependent on incentives. In fact, for a company making EVs, we have the least access to incentives. It's pretty crazy. Because there's so many countries that have put price caps on the EV incentive which differentially affect Tesla. And in China, which is the biggest market for EV's, we've never had any subsidies or tax incentives for vehic

They get to talking about how unlike most production EV cars, the Mach-E actually has seven motors – three stacked in the front and four in the back. Concering the motors, while Gittin Jr. claims that "when they go, they’re whining like crazy," they still wanted to create a sound that would help the Mach-E stand out from the pack. The pro drifter confirms two ways they did this: first, teaming up with Harman for the speakers; second, working personally with American rapper T-Pain to develop the sound its

But due to the lack of a rotating internal combustion assembly, other electrical components have been added including an electric power steering setup, an electric brake booster, and a conversion to electronic control for the gauge cluster that adds a battery charge meter in place of the fuel ga

Everyone in the automotive industry knows that electrification is the way of the future. Just look at the Ford Mustang Mach-E with 1,400 horsepower screaming through some drifts or Elon Musk's Tesla models as they dominate drag strips. Lucid's VP of Design Derek Jenkins even said that the Saudi Monetary Wealth Fund is hedging its bets with a $1 billion investment into the EV market, a serious sign of the changing times. Now, Chevrolet has announced a new pilot program for a potential electric conversion crate engine that will be revealed for the first time in a restomodded K5 Blazer at the upcoming virtual SEMA360 eve

Back in 2008, Top Gear aired an episode of presenter Jeremy Clarkson getting the opportunity to test the first Tesla Roadster . Clarkson started by demonstrating how quick it was compared to the Lotus Elise it was based off of, and proceeded to rip the entire car apart, thereby basically concluding that electric cars are dumb and will never catch on. Fast forward to now, and you have companies such as Ford making insane electric sports cars like the Mach-E 1400, and showcasing just how awesome electric cars can be. A little over a week ago, Ford and Vaughn Gittin Jr. took the Mach-E to Goodwood Festival of Speed to showcase its performance. And now, we're getting a closer look at this amazing ride, including details surrounding American rapper T-Pain’s involvement with the car’s so

The rear bed of the Blazer, meanwhile, now holds the 60-kWh battery pack—which really removes a lot of the daily functionality of the two-seater SUV-truck blend. But this project was built to show off the tech, so keeping the components visible may have been a higher priority than squeezing them into tight spa

"We need to bring the Shanghai factory online. I think that's the biggest variable for getting to 500,000-plus a year," Tesla owner Elon Musk told CNBC . Our car is just very expensive going into China. We've got import duties, we've got transport costs, we've got higher costs of labor published here. And we've never been eligible for any of the EV tax cred

Ford is about to launch an electric vehicle game changer … or not. The EV ecosystem is doubtlessly getting more competitive and interesting with each new entrant. Ford is an automobile manufacturing icon, as it pretty much set the ball rolling as far back as 1908 with the introduction of the Model T - the first mass-produced car in the wo
