I have a question about traveling in privacy with an electric car.

If I'm using a car with a gasoline engine and I want to travel without being surveilled, I pay cash for fuel (among many other measures).

It occurs to me that I can't charge my electric car in public without a credit card. This means that the government could theoretically track me, or even stop me from recharging completely (by invalidating the credit card).

Have others thought about solutions to this?

Up a notch
In a segment where brands try to signal modernity, Kia takes things a step further with its postmodern EV4. Forget the traditional three-box saloon—the future has arrived, says @jackyan in his road test.

Just had a home charger installed for my first EV, and the first impression is not good.

The ChargePoint Home Flex charger has no buttons or switches or controls of any kind on its exterior. You configure it with a smartphone app, which insists that you set up an account. These are the anti-features that would have killed the sale if I had known them in advance.

A generous part of the blame for Hyundai, which sold me the package online.

At least one Tour de France team (Uno-X Mobility) using EVs for their race vehicles: 👍️

The SBS commentator (David McKenzie) being surprised that an electric car can go far enough to make it through the day (maybe 200 km of driving): 🙄

Finally a car for ordinary people.

I have been waiting for something like this for a long time.

Instead of useless trucks or speed cars, this can be used by ordinary people and actually make a difference in extremely polluted cities like Mexico City or Tehran.

Imagine if most taxis in a 10M inhabitant city were electric, it would really make a huge difference in the quality of air and the economy of the city.

And for that price, it is going to be a real game changer (i am sure the actual price will be twice the one mentioned in the article).

I saw the nicest, most practical everyday use EV in Antibes today.

It is like a new version of the old Volvo 745 made by BYD
Finally a car that is not just an ego boost and actually good for people who want to use a car for transport.

In its own space
The Zhiji LS6 has made it to New Zealand, as the IM Motors IM6 presented by MG Motor. Just how will an EV from a premium sub-brand, with SAIC’s highest-tech offerings, fare when it is a category of its own? Jack Yan looks at the IM6 Performance

This is an ev I would buy.

It's perfect for small house in the woods, to be able to travel and transport goods easily and safely.

This is quiet amazing. I wish we could have access to it here in France

Honestly that's less than MO already charges me for the privilege of driving an electric vehicle, plus going electric means I'm getting over on the IRS at tax time, so I'm not majorly worried about this. That said, I do wish they'd go with a mileage based system, at least here in MO we more or less have a system in place for that.
