I Tested New York City’s First Lamppost EV Charger. It’s A Game Changer
The solution to supercharge curbside EV charging might be right above your head. Voltpost's new lampost EV chargers have landed in New York City.

Suvrat @cablenews.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Every time I get an EV press car, I learn something new. I recently tested New York City 's first lamppost EV charger in Brooklyn. A clever approach to curbside charging with faster deployment and lower costs by making use of existing infrastructure like streetlights. Full story in comments.

This was a fascinating reporting assignment that took me to Texas and beyond my comfort zone. All our lives depend on this tiny rare earth magnet and I saw how it's made and learned more about that business. Full story in comments.

EV batteries that last longer, drive farther, and charge as fast as refilling gas are now being developed not by one company, but a coalition of many specialized solid-state battery makers.

My First Walmart EV Charging Experience Was A Disaster
The company's public fast-charging station left me baking in the sun for 40 minutes.

Testing EV fast charging stations can be a wild experience. Most times it's unbelievably seamless, but in rare cases it can also be frustrating. I recently pulled up to the Walmart-branded charger in New Jersey and got roasted in the sun trying to get the thing working. Full story in the thread.

I Drove The $138,000 Range Rover Electric Off-Road. It Was Exceptional

I drove the new Range Rover Electric off-road and it was exceptional. It executed a 30 degree rock crawl with one-pedal driving. The EV is delayed, but has created a blueprint for future JLR electrics with 300 patents filed for in-house developed drive units, battery, and thermal management.

Inside The $2 Billion Battery Factory Making Cells For Tesla And Toyota

I toured the $2 billion battery gigafactory that's making cells for Tesla and Toyota. The facility is half a mile long and a quarter mile across. Inside, hallways stretch as far as the eyes can see. The scale is unbelievable and so is the complex process of making LFP cells. Story in the comments.

I Took A Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV On A Roadtrip. It Made Gas Feel Financially Irresponsible
My electric road trip in a Hyundai Ioniq 5 showed how EVs can help beat high gas prices—even at fast chargers.
010
Suvrat @cablenews.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
Renting gas cars feels financially irresponsible right now. I recently road-tripped in a Hyundai Ioniq 5, and the cost of public fast charging was substantially lower than the cost of a comparable gas crossover. I outline my experience and the EV vs gas cost comparison in my latest story.
During my recent road trip to Upstate New York, I was shocked by how much cheaper it was to drive an EV than a gas SUV, given the high cost of gas driven by the war in Iran.

America’s charging infrastructure is preparing for a future that automakers aren’t ready for. The tech for 500 kW, 600 kW, & even 1 mW chargers already exists. But no passenger EVs in the U.S. can accept such high speeds just yet. My latest for @insideevs.com, story in comments.

2026 Toyota RAV4 Review: A Hybrid Masterclass That’s Better Than Ever
America's best-selling crossover has never been this good.
100
Suvrat @cablenews.bsky.social · 07/05/2026
The Toyota RAV4 is a hybrid-only nameplate now and feels like the default answer to the question: "What should I buy?" I got 56 mpg while driving it in the city, and the combined efficiency rarely dropped under 40 mpg. But that's not even the best part, this is a great car is so many other areas.
2026 Toyota RAV4 Review: It's now more modern inside and out, more comfortable to ride and the fuel economy is top notch.
110
Suvrat @cablenews.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
The RAV4 isn't a mild hybrid, which only help with engine start/stop. HEVs like the RAV4 can drive using electricity only for short distances at city speeds. Toyota sold nearly a million hybrids in the U.S. alone last year so I wouldn't call it a "vanishing use case." Explainer: tinyurl.com/2s4cj52v
