Take my money, please! This long-awaited news from Britain's Autocar magazine bodes very good tidings for people who like to drive MINI Coopers powered by batteries. Unfortunately, how long we will have to wait to drive a RWD Neue Klasse R50 (or where it will be built) is not revealed. Clips from the Autocar article: Mini has started work on the next-generation Cooper, which is due in the coming years bearing the most significant transformation since BMW took charge of the marque...

I recently bought a 2027 Bolt RS. One day something hit the windshield causing massive damage and the windshield needs to be replaced. Long story short, its now been over a month and I am still trying to get a windshield. Its on order but GM has not shipped it yet. Curious what others are experiencing, and if this is related to 2027 Bolt being a limited run. An auto glass shop told me they heard all new windshields are going to new bolt builds only.

I heard wind of another BMS recall and sure enough, after checking my Vin# with Hyundai, they want to run some diagnostics on it. 2019 Kona EV Checking for battery cell damage and updating BMS software I think. Sounds like the current BMS S/W may lead to over heating/charging and cause a fire in super rare cases.

I saw this Global EV Alliance survey on LinkedIn and took it. Sharing the link here for anyone who may be interested. The survey takes about ten minutes. Global EV Driver Survey 2026 – GEVA globalevalliance.com

Hello, I recently acquired a 2018 Honda Clarity, and it's relatively new. The only issue is that I can only hear the front speakers; the rear speakers are completely silent. Is this just my problem, or is there a way to fix it? Has anyone else experienced something similar? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on my 2022 Accord Hybrid and its high-voltage (HV) battery. Here’s the background: I purchased the car wrecked at auction. It was running fine when I received it. During welding (with the 12V battery disconnected), the process ended up frying the VSA/ABS modulator. That issue has already been fixed. While chasing down that repair, the HV battery fully discharged. Where I am now: Dealer quoted ~$4,900 for a new... Read more

My SE is the first EV I have owned, and I didn't really know how well it would fit my lifestyle. I therefore hung onto my Mazda 3 until I figured things out. Fast-forward 3+ years, and I love my SE to the point that I don't drive it the winter, or even when it might rain, just to keep it clean. Unfortunately, the Mazda now has 165k miles, needs a lot of work (shocks, clutch, exhaust), and is starting to rust. So, what to do? The cheapest option is to just get some... Read more

Is there data available (eg Torque Pro) that shows the amount of friction braking vs regen braking? I mean this as "how can I measure my car & roads & driving style?"
