Here’s some of my work:
Ram made an electric truck with a generator for people who aren’t ready to give up gas convenience
Coming in 2025, the Ram 1500 Ramcharger promises the best parts of both gas and electric trucks.I drove BMW’s $68,000 Tesla rival. Here are 4 pros and 2 cons before you buy.
The i4 isn’t as futuristic or flashy as some electric rivals, but it’s incredibly fun to drive.Big Oil is all in on electric cars
Heavyweights of the combustion-car era like Shell, Exxon Mobil, and BP could dominate the electric future.
Electric cars don’t have a demand problem. They have an affordability problem.
Despite what you may have been hearing, EVs have plenty of demand. Many of them are just too expensive for most people to afford.
I drove the electric BMW i4 and found a more luxurious, familiar alternative to a Tesla
The BMW i4 isn’t too futuristic or weird. It’s just a great BMW that’s fun to drive and happens to be electric.
