Many electric vehicles have neck-slapping acceleration, exhilarating for drivers but a potential danger to others. OEMs should be focused on the charging experience — not 0-60 time.
For every successful Tesla, dozens of EV startups will fail, get acquired, re-organize, or with companies like Bollinger — keep pivoting until they can hopefully find a sustainable business.
This past week not only had the usual automaker electrification declarations and teases of EVs to come such as the Kia EV6 and Lexus LF-Z concept EV, but we had a huge April Fools’ joke from Volkswagen. In addition DHL adds to its electric delivery van fleet in the US, Jeep announces plans for a Level 2 charging network and solid article was published about the current poor experience facing EV drivers at the various EV charging networks.
Another crazy week in the world of EVs, with lots of announcements on the automaker and battery front. The reveals of the Canoo pickup and Kia EV6 have heads turning and yet another automaker, BMW-owned Mini this time announced plans that it would only produce battery-electric vehicles from 2030. And EV straggler Honda shed a bit more light on its upcoming EVs built on GM’s Ultium battery and powertrain platform.
