Swedish boat company Candela is not only taking electric mobility to the seas but is also breaking world records along the way. The Candela C-8 set a new world record last week, by covering 420 nautical miles, or 483 miles in 24 hours over the in-land waterways around Stockholm. The boat set sail from the Frihamnen port in the capital city on an overcast day, elevating above the water thanks to its deployable hydrofoils – wing-like structures under the boat that boost performance and efficiency – and dual counter-rotating propellers. The C-8 is Polestar powered, using the same 69 kilowatt-hour…
If there’s a theme that carries across plug-in hybrids of all kinds this year, it’s that batteries are getting bigger and electric-only driving range is getting longer. With Porsche’s latest versions of the Cayenne E-Hybrid plug-in hybrids, you can bet on both of those improvements, as well as the pursuit of better performance along the way. The 2024 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid that the German automaker announced for the U.S. market on Monday will land right between the V-6 Cayenne E-Hybrid and the V-8 Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid versions in performance and price. Including the $1,650 destination fee, that amounts to…
US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously drives a Tesla Model 3, which she vowed to replace with a union-made electric vehicle in May 2022 weeks after she clashed with Elon Musk on Twitter (now X). Her publicly stated intention has not materialized yet, which is why she was asked about it recently on CBS’ Face the Nation (via Bloomberg). As labor strikes organized by the United Auto Workers (UAW) against Detroit’s Big Three carmakers have entered the tenth day, Ocasio-Cortez admitted she still doesn’t own an EV made by union workers. The Democratic congresswoman said she bought her Tesla Model 3…

They are primarily used for recreational purposes, such as cruising along mountain roads on weekends or exploring the woods and deserts on dirtbikes. While you may spot a few motorcycles being ridden daily, the numbers increase in areas with pleasant weather and less rainfall. It’s unfortunate that motorcycles often carry a negative reputation, as they are actually one of the most efficient modes of transportation, if not the most efficient. Due…

Ride1Up, the San Diego-based electric bike maker known for its high-value electric bike offerings, has just released a new bike that pushes the boundary on what to expect from a budget e-bike company. The newly unveiled Ride1Up Prodigy V2 is set to compete with much higher-end electric bicycles from major brands, yet at around half of the cost.

Now the e-bike maker has reworked that model in the Prodigy V2 unveiled today,…
