Aside from changing the shifter out for a dial shifter and gauges for ones more EV specific, the interior remains relatively unchanged. Also unlike what you would expect with an EV swap, the trunk space of this Miata remains untouched, all 4.4 cubic feet of it. It even still has room for the factory spare t

All told, the sizing seems pretty similar, though the Model 3 has a slightly larger frunk (front trunk). But how about the actual ride quality and design elements that might set the two cars apart? In the end, both cars are fun to drive but the two end up split on their preference. While the Model 3 is cheaper and has access to Tesla's charging network, the refinement of the Polestar 2 might attract buyers until Elon Musk feels like updating his years-old designs sometime s

Everyone in the automotive industry knows that electrification is the way of the future. Just look at the Ford Mustang Mach-E with 1,400 horsepower screaming through some drifts or Elon Musk's Tesla models as they dominate drag strips. Lucid's VP of Design Derek Jenkins even said that the Saudi Monetary Wealth Fund is hedging its bets with a $1 billion investment into the EV market, a serious sign of the changing times. Now, Chevrolet has announced a new pilot program for a potential electric conversion crate engine that will be revealed for the first time in a restomodded K5 Blazer at the upcoming virtual SEMA360 eve

From a stats perspective, the fact that Polestar intended its first EV to take on the Model 3 and Model Y becomes immediately clear. Where the Polestar 1 fits more into the hybrid-supercar-grand tourer umbrella , the new-for-2021 Polestar 2 is a full-electric, dual-motor sedan with a starting price of $61,200. That sticker price buys power output of 408 horses and 487 lb-ft of torque routed to all four wheels, with an EPA-estimated range of 233 miles and a WLTP estimate of 292 miles. Unlike most Throttle House vids, though, this one doesn't feature a drag race, which the Tesla would probably

The Tesla Model 3, meanwhile, can be had with a single motor and rear-wheel-drive only, but for comparison's sake, the Performance AWD Model 3 starts at $54,990 with an EPA range of 322 miles and a WLTP range of 329. The Model Y costs a few thousand bucks more and features similar stats. But how do the two sedans comp

Ford is about to launch an electric vehicle game changer … or not. The EV ecosystem is doubtlessly getting more competitive and interesting with each new entrant. Ford is an automobile manufacturing icon, as it pretty much set the ball rolling as far back as 1908 with the introduction of the Model T - the first mass-produced car in the wo

Mach-E is designed to have its battery positioned within the car floor and this leaves ample space in the car for both the passenger and the cargo. It has a rear cargo space volume of 29 cu-ft and complimentary front cargo space of 4.8 cu-ft – relatively larger than most EVs are offer

This 1977 K5 Blazer has received a conversion to an entirely electric drivetrain, replacing its original 400ci V8, which produced an anemic 175 horsepower from the factory that was routed through a three-speed automatic. Now, under the hood lurks a Bolt EV motor, providing 200 ponies and 266 lb-ft of torque to a four-speed automatic. The transfer case, driveshaft, and axles remain in factory f

Electric vehicle game Missions|https://evinsightzone.com/ vehicle technology isn’t new but the general adoption of the technology is new, therefore, most people buying EVs are first time buyers. As such, the uncertainties are enormous, as customers have no real clue of what they’re venturing i

Range is one of the most important factors in an EV. It is determined by the capacity of the battery and the type of electric motor it’s paired with. This is why EV manufacturers continuously research and produce upgraded, longer-lasting batter

Over 90 percent of the system's parts are shared with the Chevy Bolt, including regenerative braking, battery heating, and cooling functions, and an overcharge protection kit. After renowned GM aftermarket builders Lingenfelter Performance Engineering tests out a training and certification program for the eCrate package, Chevy hopes to begin sales to the general public in the second half of 2

Perhaps one of the most American hobbies, the road-trip, has seen a vast boom this year as concerns over personal health and safety have risen. Offering excellent over the road options, the Air offers some 739 liters of luggage space in large part thanks to its compact drivetrain and battery package. Add to that the exceptional 517-mile range and it's becoming more and more clear that Lucid is serious about taking on big names such as Tesla, Porsche, and Riv

The NB Miata they used for the project started its life out weighing in at roughly 980kg (2,160lbs) and had a 115hp 1.6L DOHC inline-4. Doing away with that, the car now has a 120hp Hyper9 electric motor out of a Tesla and weighs in at 1,017kg (2,242lbs). Unlike this crazy 2jz swapped Miata , the EV Miata definitely doesn't get much of a boost in power, but also doesn't gain much in weight, meaning it still has all that old Miata ch
