Car design has become increasingly uniform this past decade, so it’s refreshing to see something genuinely different.

He yanked big engines out of American cars and replaced them with electric motors that worked in tandem with much smaller gasoline engines. He called his new configuration the "plug-in hybrid" because it allowed homeowners to recharge the car's batteries by plugging into an electrical outlet. Frank produced another shocker.

For many, it’s the primary barrier preventing an electric car commitment. We’ve chosen the rangiest model available in the line-up, including those where a larger battery is available. Damn good range from its whopping 112kWh battery too. kWh battery for solid range. Range anxiety.

After some consideration, I purchased a 2x4basics custom workbench kit (which provides the bench's heavy-gauge structural resin supports) and lumber to form the main structure, and then cut slabs of chipboard to form a top and a bottom surface. The 2x4basics kit came with shelves, providing space for plastic storage boxes.

Commuter electric bikes are a key segment helping reduce America’s dependence on cars for navigating cities. But of course there’s more than just a torque sensor that makes the Propella 9S Pro so nice – even if that one single component is a great value-added piece of kit that we rarely see at this price. What’s the takeaway?

In the car game, these are called “conquest” sales, which make them sound very Game of Thrones. Straight up, at $127,800, the GV70 Electrified does not sound cheap, but it is packed with gear and doesn’t charge you umpteen thousands in optional extras.

The Kia EV9 electric SUV is the latest in the expanding EV-branded family of electric cars. While it’s not cheap, the EV9 comes loaded with equipment and technology to help justify a circa-$100K starting price when it arrives in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2023. With all that in mind, read on for our Kia EV9 review.

It isn’t cheap, though – check the Toyota website to see the costs for your own circumstances. Both use a 71.4kWh lithium-ion battery pack, but there are slight differences in claimed EV driving range, with the FWD good for a WLTP-rated 436km versus 411km for the AWD. But it’s cheap for the first five years, at $180 per visit.

Demand for these rapid electric GTs is off the charts, so car folk look at you wondering how many brown envelopes were handed over so you could jump the queue. Okay, 97 per cent battery life and 387km range. The car’s artificial sound’s been turned off, so I move into traffic in silence. Feels a big car. Looks expensive.

Whereas the original Niro was available as a regular hybrid , a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and a battery electric vehicle (EV), the new model does without the PHEV option. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. That’s why this time around they’ve decided to truncate the model lineup. Kia Niro EV GT-Line interior.

Sales of electric cars almost tripled in 2023 and Aussies had more models than ever to choose from. As well as new models from heavy EV hitters such as Tesla, BYD, Polestar and Volvo, there will be a raft of traditional brands jumping on board the electric car race. Toyota, Volkswagen and Subaru are chief among them.

Model 3 vs EV6 vs Polestar 2 vs Ioniq 5: There’s a sub-$80K sweet spot in the electric car market – and it’s not relying on price alone to tempt buyers. Then there’s Kia’s EV6 , the first ground-up electric car from the Korean brand. None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market.

Electric cars and a smart electric grid have a bright future, according to panelists at a roundtable discussion on the subject that I attended last Friday in Boston. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. We will own the battery. We will always own the batteries,&# said Mr. Thesen.

We, and every other car reviewer with a basic grasp of the market, knew this fee for a small EV with paltry 200km (WLTP) range was laughable. To my mind, with 1700km showing, it’s still a new car, with the only obvious negative being Mazda’s five year warranty having ticked over two years already. Think about your car use.

Australians are increasingly considering an EV as their next family car, but just how practical is the current crop on our market, and do they represent good value for money? Not cheap, but there still feels like decent value here. Its 66.5kWh battery is good for 371km range. Budget is, of course, a huge factor.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. Anyway, the GT-Line has dual motors, all-wheel-drive, 283kW/700Nm and 505km range (WLTP) from its lardy 99.8kWh battery. The Air’s standard kit’s hardly wanting. For you NSW lot, it’s $140,200.
