My mom’s new 2021 Leaf has an e-pedal, and I am convinced that this is the future of driving.
I LOVE driving with e-pedal. It’s fantastic.

I had a dream that I was charging my EV, and I was really happy because the charger was plug and charge and it was really convenient.
I might think about EV charging logistics too much.
Nissan has abandoned plans to build a battery plant in Fukuoka Prefecture to focus its resources and funding on rescuing itself from a deepening financial crisis. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/05/09/companies/nissan-drops-fukuoka-battery-plant-plan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nissan #electricvehicles #carmakers #batteries
They're gonna have to bury these in the desert like the ET Atari game
The futuristic-looking Tesla Cybertruck is reportedly facing a monumental challenge as its inventory in the United States has ballooned to over 10,000 units. This suggests a big slowdown in demand for the apparently highly anticipated electric truck, raising a lot of questions about its real market reception.
Data from Tesla-Info.com indicates a sharp rise in Cybertruck listings within a single month. While part of this surge could be attributed to an actual increase in the number of vehicles available, it appears that Tesla is also employing big price reductions across different configurations. These varying discounts create multiple listings for essentially the same vehicle, possibly inflating the inventory numbers.
With an average selling price hovering around $78,000, this stockpile represents a big chunk of capital, potentially reaching close to $800 million worth of unsold Cybertrucks. Industry observers suggest that the growing inventory is more likely a consequence of sluggish sales rather than a sudden spike in production. In fact, there are indications that Tesla has deliberately reduced the Cybertruck production rate in recent months.

"When the #TrumpAdministration kneecapped a key federal program that funds electric-vehicle charging infrastructure in February, it seemed inevitable that lawsuits would follow. Three months later, a group of 16 states, including California, New York, Colorado and Washington, have sued the federal government in an effort to keep money for #EV chargers flowing."

Sorry, Trump: Global shippers want electric trucks, STAT.

This is a US made electric mini-truck. I think it's been like over a decade or more since a true mini-truck has been sold in the US? It's nice to see a reasonably sized truck being made again.

Teenagers clocked going 120kph on e-bike but no charges laid
By Emma Hannigan
A flat battery has led two alleged e-bike hoons into the long arm of the law after a helicopter was used to track them on the Gold Coast.

So, I threw $50 towards a Slate reservation. https://www.slate.auto
This is exactly what I want in an EV. Minimalist setup. Simple. No constant monitoring/selling data. No giant proprietary screen to break. No subscriptions. Simple. Small (3600lbs). Capable of hauling my partner and I, plus our dog and gear (for camping, forestry work, repair jobs, whatever). 250 mile range (on the extended battery). Simple.
The performance sucks (8s 0-60 in an EV is pretty shit) and the RWD-only platform is lame (no winter driving here). But this would otherwise be a solid choice for us, assuming they can meet the promised price point. I see myself getting the hatchback SUV option and rear seats, which would give us the flexibility to configure for hauling or passengers (and dog).
I'd love to see what maker communities could do with the platform. I have some ideas just from the promotional renders!
