Looks like Nissan is taking a simple inherent EV advantage and using it as a marketing tool. They are calling one-pedal driving E-Pedal. Tesla has been doing this for years and Nissan is acting like it's an innovation. I think this is a good thing though because it will create more awareness...

I seem to remember being told that in an ICE vehicle that it's actually more efficient when driving long distances (non-city driving) to drive with the windows up and AC on than windows down and AC off. I think the idea was that the additional drag caused by the open windows would out weigh the...

EV myths abound. Most of them spread by EV detractors have been covered in these forums in great detail – some, perhaps, in too much detail. Just for a change of pace, I’d like to open a little discussion on some EV myths that I often hear uttered by EV advocates. I’ll suck some of the fun out...

I keep reading articles where they say EVs will reach cost parity with ICE cars by 2025. Doesn't the Model 3 already have cost parity? There aren't many ICE cars at $35K which are better than the Model 3 will be.
