I couldn't live with those wheels.

[S griffin]

Do those type of wheels offer much benefit though?

[NaBUru38]

The most aerodynamic wheels are covered, like it was popular in the 1980s.

Not always and they can design the rotation to impact the air flow along the body and create better flow than the body lines could due to manufacturing, stability and regulations limitations. These are NOT those wheels

The spec sheet is out. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 base model will have a 325 hp and a 53 kWh battery (not 58).

I saw the first towing test of a Ford Lightning a couple weeks ago. It made 90 miles with a 6,000 trailer in tow. I'm sorry but that just won't "cut the mustard" for me. I haven't seen a hauling test yet but am interested to see the range with 1,000 pounds or 450kg in the bed.

I know the zeitgeist is with electric vehicles but considering the overall problem of energy production, I'm not convinced it is the right answer outside of "city cars". We need to figure out green energy production, distribution, and shipping first, IMO.

[JHamilton]

double post, sorry.

Interesting graphic on what countries buy the most electric cars. It's china. But #2 is Germany??

Based on that info I must see a third of all Taycan and e-trons in the US, they are EVERYWHERE in Atlanta. And getting to see at least one Rivian every day as well, but GA has pretty good EV tax benefits

[S griffin]

I reckon we could see quite a few on them about, especially in places like California, Florida and Atlanta. But there were still be plenty of cars that run on gas too.

Good news, Stellantis has decided to settle the ADA concerns about the quiet nature of electric cars. Oh, in the dumbest way possible.

Yup, that's supposed to be louder than the SRT ICE-powered car cause Dodge I guess

If you NEED to hear it, and you don't

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV

I can't tell if it's a streched down version of the EQS.

[FIRE]

Nice, very nice.

[broadrun96]

I need Ram to go ahead and announce the new truck so I can figure out yay or nay. Like Ford and "standard" design I'm interested, Tesla the thing up and I'm out. But I'm sure I'll have to start planning soon if I want to take that step

Opel Astra electric

155 kW, 51 kWh battery, 100 kW DC charging

258 miles WLTP range (dubious...)

[NaBUru38]

Sony and Honda have revealed the Afeela prototype

[joeb]

Interesting project with the stated goals of making an engaging experience for the driver. Not an experience of driving per se, but more like they want you to be comfy and make the interior look good. Style over speed kind of deal.

That is why i find it funny that this car looks, bland at best from the side.

[broadrun96]

Ram Rev, yup that's the name they're going with apparently, was announced as CSES recently. Some interesting things on it, the bed crease though not so much



https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ram/1500-revolution/

The kinda interesting suicide doors will NOT make it to production it was announced, they are just to show off the cab room.

Pass through from the front to the rear of the truck means you can fit 18' material inside the trunk. Ok, the pass through is expected to be under 12"x12" through the center but interesting use of space.

[ScotsBrutesFan]

The 90 degree square on image makes the proportions look very strange, maybe its the shape and angle of where the rear door meets the rear side panel.

But looking from the 45 degree where we can see the flair in the front and rear arches, it isn't that bad at all...

[NaBUru38]

Pretty interesting
