    hmmmmm..... interesting. Lotus Type 133

    May be just me but back end looks like a Tesla! Front end has potential - will be curious to see actual car once released.

    Taycan v Hyundai Ioniq 6

    Hmmm, vid seems a wee bit 'oversold' for me - smacks of a paid ad for Hyundai :) - agree re design, not to my taste either, but good to see more product going out.

    Taycan v Hyundai Ioniq 6

    Original concept drawings were clearly (maybe too obviously) leaning on Porsche elements (as stated in pic) but a more recent 'rendering' added a big dose of ugly imo :)! Supposedly will have the 800V architecture - other details on web.

    GENESIS GV60 -- I have one on order, should I keep it or cancel?

    Sorry but for me (and perhaps me alone!), there are so many levels of ugly on this car, interior and exterior, that I can't ever imagine owning one - again all about personal preferences and I guess I've shared mine :)!

    What everyone should know before they buy an EV

    @Hirschaj I think the section introduction I copied in below from your article is really misleading and/or incorrect - using a mobile EVSE overnight is FAR from an 'absolute worse case' scenario and no different from using many 'destination' charger options out there nor for that mater from...

    DeLorean Alpha5 electric car unveiled to rival Porsche Taycan

    Interesting - think this needs to be seen in person to really appreciate the look, stance, detail - could alter my opinion but personally was not ever really a huge fan to begin with (heretical I know and from an Irishman :)!) but do appreciate the history and engineering of the original and...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    The ChargePoint really is excellent and the comment about detailed utility cost breakdown tops it off - but as said, can’t go wrong with the other top picks.

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Indeed - have to say hated and still do hate the i3 design but the iconic i8 was/is such an obvious platform to build forward with (at least high end) EV variants I was truly surprised that a full EV version did not appear.

    Test drove EV6, ID.4 and Polestar 2

    We're waiting on the new Mini Cooper but obviously not a choice if you need a car sooner as absolute earliest I suspect we can order will be mid-late 2023 with even then no guarantee of an allocation! First I'd seen of the Kia wagon - appears to be trying hard to echo the CT in certain ways re...

    BMW I4 M50 test drive

    Thx for sharing. That grill again a non-starter for me but OK, let's park that. The thing I find TBH just odd about this car is that it feels dare I say it dated? Listen, I've had various BMW (M's) over 20 years so was quite the fan, but when I look at this my gut reaction is more 'old' std...

    How big is the iX grille?

    Recall this from the Bimmerpost forum long time ago - was rather good :)

    How big is the iX grille?

    Agreed - new owner in Colorado sent me pics :) - they've had it at a few meets, at Red Rocks etc. - making me regret selling already!!

    How big is the iX grille?

    Loved my 2015 M4 vert (just sold), but when this grill design appeared on the newer M cars too I was out - almost seems petty saying it but honestly cannot look at that thing with any respect for design - quite a few folk walked away from the brand based on this design trend which TBH is pretty sad.

    Lucid Air reaches 500 miles in real-world 70 mph range test

    I essentially agree with all of this although, with this sort of range, I guess the point is that you would not be limited to having to stop at a charging location, right? These ranges would thus truly wipe out range anxiety for most. And re looks I really dislike the design and could never be...

    Sony announces electric cars.... What does that look like?

    Digital mirrors are interesting but TBH sort of defeat the purpose if one of the reasons to have them is to reduce drag (many other reasons of course). These cameras seem to stick out almost as much as an 'analog' mirror - would have thought they could come up with a more hidden or lower...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    Decided in the end to leverage the 60A breaker capacity of the HomeFlex with a hardwire install and a 60A breaker - other 14-50 receptacle will be used separately for a different application (will be changing hard wired setup for my 4-post lift to a plugged setup - will allow me to use with a...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    I have two entirely separate lines each to a 14-50 receptacle and with separate indep breakers in the dedicated 100 amp panel. Always the option to convert one or both to hard wired but prefer two receptacles for now.

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    Yep - shared this in post bef yours :) But I agree re the 60 A breaker - fine for an option to a hard wired ‘upgrade’ but not what my setup is obviously - going to get that corrected regardless, doesn’t make sense as is.

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    Seems to be some confusion here - to be clear - my HomeFlex is setup for 50 amp circuit drawing 40 amps - the breaker size of 60 amp installed by pro electrician (West Houston Electric) - in his words when I asked him re my choosing 50 amp circuit (despite a 60 amp breaker installed) in setting...

    [US] - Over the Top - the well equipped EV home garage…for those that wish to "over do it"…

    Receptacle on 60 amp breaker. Hardwiring of course always an option if desired - straightforward enough.
