He initially worked as a staff writer at HotCars as well as contributing articles to smaller outlets like Drivetribe. Legendary British Car Brand Returns With An EV That Screams Old-School Quirkiness In recent years, several famous names from the history of British carmaking have been resurrected years after they first disappeared. TVR was recently bought by Charge Holdings with a new plan to finally get the long-awaited Griffith into production, while Allard was brought back in 2020 by the family of the original founder. Now, it's the turn of Austin to make a comeback, with the revived brand's first new car soft launching earlier in 2025. It's called the Arrow, and it reportedly takes styling inspiration from the Austin Seven of the 1920s. However, unlike the century-old classic, the latest Arrow is all-electric, and…...

Relying on the Tesla's onboard cameras, it's designed to navigate urban environments'and may just deal with road rage, too. Out of Spec Reviews teamed up with Dirty Tesla to push FSD's buttons on a track with no other traffic around and it's pretty surprising how it reacts to simulated aggressive driving from another car. They genuinely try to sideswipe the FSD-enabled Model 3, and the car swerves to avoid the aggressor better than a human driver could in that situation. After being repeatedly pestered by the other car, the Model 3 seemingly decides on its own that the best course of action is to turn around and not…...

It has continued throughout adulthood with the driving and ownership of a wide variety of full-size vehicles, from sports cars through sedans and SUVs. Why So Many New Cars Are Switching From Manual To Electric Parking Brakes More cars are switching from manual parking brakes using a pull-up lever to the electrical type requiring the touch of a button. The proof is in the latest edition of the CarGurus U.K. Manual Handbrake Report, released in 2024. First released in 2018, the Car Gurus report has documented the steady decline of cable-operated manual handbrakes in new cars during the intervening years. From 2018, when only 37% of new cars were equipped with manual parking brakes, the percentage has dropped to a low of 8% in 2024. The vast majority of new…...

5+ hour, 28+ min ago (375+ words) But here's some good news for EV drivers everywhere'and potentially bad news for other charging providers: BYD's Flash Charging system won't just be limited to China. The automaker has previously said it's aiming to launch this in Europe next year, and it's now hiring people to make it happen. BYD Han L, Tang L and Megawatt Charging Besides being a fascinating opportunity for the right charging or BESS professional, these postings may indicate that BYD is serious about building out Flash Charging across European markets next year. At a recent BYD launch in the United Kingdom, the company's executive vice president, Stella Li, confirmed that other EVs will be able to use these chargers'but only cars on BYD's Super e-Platform will be able to achieve those blazing speeds." "We will be open to all brands because it's standardized charging, but…...

8+ hour, 22+ min ago (681+ words) When the Kia EV9 went on sale last year, it brought battery power and a healthy dose of gravitas to one of America's favorite vehicle segments: three-row SUVs. Its 300+ mile range, comfortable ride and a cavernous interior, along with competitive pricing, made it a finalist for last year's InsideEVs Breakthrough Awards." For model year 2026, Kia improved the EV9 even more with a factory-fitted Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) port for seamless access to Supercharger stations. With this update, Kia owners will have access to more than 21,500 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. That should practically eliminate any range anxiety owners may have on long road trips. With a week-long EV9 press loaner at my disposal, I headed to a Supercharger for a 10-80% charging test to find out if this update really makes it a better road-tripper than it already was." 2026 Kia EV9 Tesla Supercharger Even…...

12+ hour, 37+ min ago (448+ words) The CSC Monterey " one of the most charming little electric scooters on the US market " has dropped to a shockingly low $1,699, down from its original $2,899 MSRP. That's nearly half off for a full-size, street-legal electric scooter that channels major Honda Super Cub energy, but without the gas, noise, or maintenance of the original. I had my first experience on one of these scooters back in 2021, when I reviewed the then-new model here on Electrek. I instantly fell in love with it and even got one for my dad. It now lives at his place and I think he gets just as much joy from looking at it in his garage as riding it. You can see my review video below. The performance is solidly moped-class, which is exactly what it's designed for. A 2,400W rear hub motor pushes the Monterey up…...
