Rawlinson, having worked as Chief Engineer on the Tesla Model S, knew that electrification provided an opportunity to rework the configurations that have long dictated internal-combustion car design—namely, the traditional layout with engine up front routing power to the wheels through a gearbox and transmission tunnel, all of which take up space. But that layout has also led to the commonplace design themes that every consumer on the planet has become attuned to recogniz

The typical three-pronged wall outlet outputs 110V, at that voltage the Model 3 would be fully charged in 1-3 days, not very useful for everyday usage. It’s relatively easy to install a 240V outlet in a garage which will charge a Model 3 in approximately 8-9 hours, perfect for overnight daily charg

Tesla's market standing in the world of electric vehicles remains strong, with the only real competition coming from Porsche's Taycan, which has largely priced itself out of the mainstream automotive industry. Polestar, formerly of Volvo but now its own brand, is looking to shake things up with the affordable, all-electric Polestar 2 (as opposed to the hybrid Polestar 1, which is more of an enormous superc

Matt Farah has made a life for himself that should make most gearheads sick with envy. On his YouTube channel The Smoking Tire, Farah regularly reviews some of the world's best cars, including recent posts taking the new 992-generation Porsche 911 Targa 4S out for a spin and blasting around the Angeles National Forest in a Ferrari F8 Spider . Now, Farah turns his attention to the all-electric Polestar 2 for a test drive in Malibu to see how this potential Tesla Model 3 competitor fares during some aggressive driving and from an overall value-meets-aesthetics standpo

The first thing to establish is that, if electric cars are going to have a hope of resonating and becoming more ubiquitous in society, the pricetags will surely have to be slashed. The original Polestar was $140,000, understandable given its tech specs, but hardly accessible to most consumers. The Polestar 2 however, is a step in the right direction, coming in at a more than reasonable $59,000 . Future incarnations are also likely to be open to modifications, which could reduce the fee further for stripped-back models. While it's true that the Polestar 2 somewhat lags behind the Model 3 in terms of driving range, in every other department it's a worthy challenger - making the pricetag a more than respectable

But a new offering from Scandinavia may just have the South African entrepreneur slightly concerned. Fresh off the back of the original Polestar concept, the company has hit back with the Polestar 2 - the tricky second album. For a company so young, its a bold move, one intended to shake up the electric car indus

Speaking of people who might root against an electric vehicle's design, Lucid’s majority shareholder is PIF, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia . How, I asked Jenkins, did Lucid get hitched up with a modern-day monarchy established and sustained by the monopolization of the very fossil fuels that Lucid wants to render obsol

The time taken to fully charge an EV could a major deal-breaker in the quest to acquire one. Also, it could be the reason most people would rather stay loyal to internal combustion engine vehicles due to the relatively short time required for a refuel as well as the ease of the proc

Finally, the Crabwalk feature we previewed earlier today demonstrates GMC's understanding that sometimes the only way out is sideways with rear-wheel steering. This truck isn't just about off-roading though, as it should be a capable daily driver to and from the office as w

There are numerous humorous jokes and references hidden throughout the Model 3. Some easter eggs can be found in the software but others can be found in various parts of the actual car, much like a real easter egg h

Power is serious too with the Hummer as the top of the range model is rated at 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. The motors will propel the vehicle to 60 miles per hour in just 3 seconds. That's good enough to keep up with the other big players in the space and for the first time, a company with more history than Tesla is in the sp

The giant size of the Hummer provides ample space for batteries and with 350 miles available of range per charge, it should be capable of taking most owners anywhere they might want to go. When hooked up to a quick charger, the EV Racing Games|https://Evinsightzone.com/ truck can charge to 100 miles of range in just ten minutes. That's clearly enough for the average consumer who travels far less than that each

The Polestar 2 shares much of its design aesthetic with its higher-spec hybrid sibling, but at a price that's at least somewhat closer to reasonable. The starting sticker price expected to begin around $61,000 before government incentive. That should place it in competition with higher-trim Tesla Models 3 and Y, which will share the Polestar 2's setup of an electric motor powering each axle with 201 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque (for a combined output of 402 ponies and 487 lb-ft of twi
