Mopar Teases Electric Crate Swap, Maybe

The Truth About Cars

The slab-flat hood definitely looks like a late-‘60s Charger, given the scalloped lines and overall shape. Peeking through one of the four hood vents are indications of electrification, or at least a CGI representation thereof, with a few blue lights and who-know-what else.

2024 Toyota bZ4X AWD review: Why driving Toyota’s first electric car on dirt is like chucking a Giraffe in a pool … Really

EV Central

Delivering the bZ4X’s range is a 71.4kWh lithium-ion battery. Anyway, even the cheapest 2WD bZ4X gets things like LED lighting, 20-inch alloys and a powered boot. EV Central plugged in to find out. The Model Y will travel further, though, claiming 533km between charges, compared to the Toyota’s 411km. SCORE: 3.7/5

EV Central

We will get to how it all works in a moment, but the short version is that, while you still get a petrol engine with your electric motors, the former is only used to recharge the battery or deliver power to the motors — it never actually drives the wheels — giving you what Nissan calls an “EV-like” drive experience, and improved fuel efficiency.

iRobot Launches Create 3, with ROS 2 Built In

Cars That Think

The Create 2 was based on the Roomba 600 series, which (for the record) is somehow still a workhorse in my house after a battery replacement. Additionally, the robot includes cliff, bump and slip detection, along with LED lights and a speaker. Create 3 comes equipped with Wi-Fi, Ethernet-over-USB host, and Bluetooth.

Reflections on Converting a 914 to an EV

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

Here goes (in no particular order): Things That Went Well During the Conversion The 914 AC kit from Electro Automotive is a good one. I modified the wiring in the original 914 AC kit (as suggested by Paul Jorg) to turn on the regen when the brake lights came on instead of controlling regen by releasing the accelerator pedal.
