First local public charging spot (Greater Boston) to receive a J3400/NACS connector where a CHAdeMO would previously be specced.

Just the beginning of what will be a drawn out transition to a single connector type. Net positive but expect to see CCS1 handles around well into the next decade.

Interesting match up between the current North American IONIQ siblings.

Neither the ride height nor the cargo capacity of the 6 turned out to be a significantly restricting factor compared to our IONIQ 5.

Still prefer a hatch overall, but the 6 is the better driving experience.

Honda joins Toyota in hiking pay after UAW agreements with Detroit Three The increases demonstrate the domino effect on the labor market and efforts by the transplants to avoid unionization of their plants, experts say.

Another *remarkable* coincidence, following the same from Toyota.

Starting in January 2024, production workers at Honda's U.S. auto plants will receive an 11% wage increase. That's the exact percentage UAW workers just won at the Detroit 2.5.

What Is a Plug-In Hybrid? How Does It Work? It’s a regular hybridβ€”and it's also an electric car with no more than 60 miles of range. Not surprisingly, that can confuse a lot of car shoppers.

I seem to be writing a lot of EV explainers, which suggests a much larger group of car shoppers are now searching online for info on cars that plug in.

Here's my take on perhaps the MOST misunderstood type of #EV: the plug-in hybrid.

Leveling up on Tesla's Magic Dock, where our previous paltry 42kW in EGMP models is now up to an almost acceptable 97kW ⚑⚑
