I haven’t driven it yet but I, too, love the style and I’d put up with a lot of downside to get a real EV coupe. I’m driving my Mach-E for the next four years and I’m hoping that by the time I’m ready for my “retirement car” that there are more coupes out there.

As notoriously difficult as HOAs can be, there’s going to come a point where enough people own EVs that a lack of chargers will affect home values.

When new DCFCs opened up on the Alaska Highway last September, I decided to drive about 2,000km from my home in Whitehorse to Vancouver. I knew the road well because I used to drive semi on the same route with a partner. We'd do it in about 36 hours, keeping the wheels turning almost constantly...

Well if you HAVE to leave the Mach-E community I guess this is a tolerable alternative ?

Many of us prefer to avoid plugging whenever possible as it avoids wear on the plug.

Tesla seriously shafted Hertz and shot themselves in the foot at the same time. Rental fleets were a great opportunity for Tesla to get drivers to try their cars. Tesla even found a great way to allow Hertz customers use the Tesla app during their rental to really make it an authentic...

They kept asking me where I went and it’s a tiny town called Zealandia that nobody would know. Saskatchewan is FILLED with tiny towns nobody knows.

That isn't "decontenting", though, it's an aesthetic change. It's really only a money-saver in the sense that Ford now uses the same unit across all trims and it refines their logistics a little.

And yes, I promise I'll do a full trip report here...

It's much easier to build a greenfield business than it is to steer a legacy business into new tech.

I love the styling and its availability as a coupe. I'd happily do one, Kyle Connor be damned (I like Kyle a lot but I think he walked into this review with some heavy prejudices). My fondest hope is that the EV Charger enjoys better-than-expected sales just because there's no other "real"...

No, I think it's just the stiffness of a new device. The SCs I used on my recent trip had barely been used at all and seemed brand-new.

I did a 5,200km round trip from Whitehorse to near Saskatoon a couple of weeks ago. The local CBC affiliate caught wind and wanted to talk to me about it...

I don't live anywhere NEAR a BC-mapped road, so I don't subscribe, but when I traveled down to Vancouver in September I decided to try BlueCruise. While I get the initial anxiety of letting the car take over, and some roads just didn't work well due to too-tight corners (*cough* Coquihalla), I...

To me, the extension cable strikes me as more of an emergency provision than anything else. The only situation where I'd actually use it would be if I was using an EXTREMELY busy Supercharger at peak time, a situation where I absolutely needed to park as a Tesla would. For my own purposes, at...
