For the sake of my mental health, I know much better than to read comments online. It doesn’t matter where – Facebook, articles, YouTube, wherever. The only good place to read comments is on evtv.me! The others are almost all full of bad takes and toxicity. But sometimes, I just can’t help myself. I almost […] The post Misdirected anger and logical failures first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

I spent a weekend with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV in the hopes that I’d develop some solid opinions on it. And oh, boy howdy, did I. There’s a disappointing mix of positive and negatives to unpack about GM’s new all-electric mass-market crossover. Most EVs I’ve gotten behind the wheel of have been a pleasure […] The post GM Blazed the Wrong Trail – 2024 Blazer EV first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

Recently it came to my attention that not everyone knows why we put diodes in reverse on the connections to some things. In fact, I recently gave some questionable advice in regards to what needs a diode for protection and what doesn’t. So, let’s get into it! First of all, what is it we’re trying […] The post What’s a little voltage between friends? first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

And sometimes they do it wrong, like GM with the […] The post Honda Gets Throwback Right first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

My opinion on Hyundai/Kia is far from black and white. I’ve been impressed by their styling – often decent, yet inconsistent. Rental Hyundais of yesteryear have seemed well equipped, especially in the infotainment department. The last one I rented had Android Auto back when that wasn’t common. Don’t get me started on their apparent struggle […] The post Hyundai on the Straight and Narrow? first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

Once in awhile, a person has to take a deep look at themselves and realize when they’ve made mistakes. When we were younger, it might have been realizing how mean it is not to share toys with a sibling. When we’re older, it’s things like choosing the wrong major in college, or taking the wrong […] The post My Little I.C.E. Cube first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

For the past few months I’ve been on the “rubber chicken” circuit speaking to local business groups and service organizations about the benefits of electric drive as a viable alternative to I.C.E. vehicles.  While most people are quite amenable to the concept of electric vehicles, with an EV owner or two now in each audience, […] The post Fast, Fun, No Gas.

Ever since electric cars started to go mainstream, back in the early days of the Model S, I’ve often expressed an opinion that electric fits best in two different, often overlapping situations – plug-in hybrids, and high-torque applications. Plug-in hybrids like the Volt appeal to me because they offer the fuel savings of electric for […] The post There’s Only One “Absolutely Proper” Jeep first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more

EVs have been evolving over the last few years from their position as purely a luxury buyer’s car. With options like the Tesla Model 3 inching ever closer to “affordable car” territory, it seems like EVs are finally starting to look like sensible purchasing decisions. But many of the higher end EVs, flashy and fast […] The post Did Karl Benz See This Coming? first appeared on EVTV LLC ..read more
