Amid the fallout from the accident involving a pedestrian in San Francisco, robotaxi company Cruise cofounder Kyle Vogt has stepped down from his role as CEO. While Vogt didn’t specify his reasons for leaving (but we can guess why), he reportedly put in his resignation with the board on Sunday after sending an apologetic email to staff on Saturday. Then he took to X (Twitter) early this morning.“As CEO, I take responsibility for the situation Cruise is in today. There are no excuses, and there is no sugar coating what has happened,” he wrote in the email, reported by Reuters.…

Though many people think that the electric vehicle industry is slowing down, sales numbers in the United States alone say otherwise. Now that the third quarter of 2023 is behind us, let’s check in on how the various automakers are doing.

The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law have collectively infused billions of dollars into the electric vehicle industry in the United States. The IRA has enabled consumer incentives such as the $7,500 tax credit, while provisions in both policies have incentives for local battery production, and charging infrastructure expansion. Policymakers in Washington have now earmarked an additional $3.5 billion, as a part of the Infrastructure Law, for the domestic production of advanced batteries and battery minerals across the country. “The funding will create new, retrofitted, and expanded domestic facilities for battery-grade processed critical minerals, battery precursor materials, battery…
As you bring out your puffer jackets, snow shovels, and cozy hot toddies for the onset of winter, it’s also the right time to think about how to manage the range of your electric car. While it’s no secret that cold weather reduces EV range, the range loss isn’t uniform across all models. Some EVs fare better than others in how they pre-condition the battery, recycle waste heat, and minimize range loss. During the 2022-2023 winter season, battery health and data startup Recurrent gathered thousands of data points from 10,000 EVs to analyze how freezing temperatures affected their driving range.…
The Ford F-150 Lightning is the only traditional pickup truck on the market that happens to be all-electric. The Rivian R1T may have beaten it to market, but it’s more adventure vehicle than a work truck, whereas the Lightning is basically America’s best-selling pickup with a battery-powered drivetrain instead of a gas engine. But what is the F-150 Lightning like to live with every day? By now, you’ve probably seen many videos about the ownership experience, but this one is pretty special because it comes from InsideEVs’ senior editor Tom Moloughney, who has owned his F-150 Lightning for 16 months now.…
