  5. F-150 Hybrid charges a dead Electric motorcycle in the bed while driving

    This is awesome. The F150 charged the dead electric Zero motorcycle to 93% charge while in the bed of the truck during the 90 min drive. This will be great for future electric dirt bikes or those that have an Alta. I sure hope Rivian has something similar.

  10. Lordstown Motors Has Been Faking Orders, Is Actually 3-4 Years From Production: Research Firm

    Lordstown Motors was sort of the homegrown hero of recent EV startups: an impressive electric truck designed and built in America with a factory in a place that badly needed the economic and job benefits that come with a company setting up shop. However, everything is not as it seems with...

  12. More charging joy (via VW software)- Rivian, please get this right!

    This is inexcusable! Why is it so hard for these manufactures to get this right? It's one of the most basic UI experiences that new owner will scream if not done correctly. I sure hope Rivian gets this right!!
