Electric Vehicles: Dissecting The Lies, Myths & Actual Truth About EV Costs (Part 2) – Road Test Special

In Part 1 we went into many of the Lies, Myths And Actual Truth’s about EV’s and their batteries – most of it was just Misinformation – deliberate or otherwise. The article got so long, we had to break it up into two separate articles. In Part 2, we’ll tackle the misinformation regarding EV costs and we’ll tack the negative aspects of EV’s – all is not perfect in the world of electric vehicles, that’s for sure. (Part 1 )

Electric Vehicles: Dissecting The Lies, Myths And Actual Truth’s About Them (Part 1) – Road Test Special

The people most vocal against EV’s are the ones that have never driven one – and they have no intention of ever driving one. They are the ones yelling all over social media – spreading lies, myths and misinformation for something they have absolutely no experience with. Unfortunately they are the ones that everyone parrots as fact whenever they, in-turn bash EV’s. Hopefully I can help you wade through the muck and get to the actual truth. Are they perfect? No vehicle is perfect. But they are damn good!

Road Test Special: The 2022 Gumball 3000 Rally

We’re doing something unique this week… We’re going to be embedded with a 2-car team that are doing the 2022 Gumball3000 that starts in Toronto. They’re coming in from Germany and we’re picking them up at the airport, getting the car + truck ready and prepped for the rally (it’s NOT a race). We’ll see the car and truck at the same time they see them for the first time…

Road Test Special: Mini-Test 2021 Ford Bronco Sport + Mustang Mach-E

We’ve had an interesting week… first we got to spend some behind the wheel of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y,  and then 2 days later we had the opportunity to take the Ford Mustang Mach-E – Ford’s first-ever 100% electric vehicle, and the All-New Bronco Sport Big Bend out for a spin. With COVID continuing to put a stranglehold on my usual manufacturer-supplied test vehicles, I really appreciate Grimsby Ford providing me the opportunity for this all too brief, but very enjoyable test-drive. While we only got a quick spin around the block, these are two very impressive vehicles. Stay tuned for a full-blown road test in the future.)

Road Test Special: Tesla Demonstration Drive – The Model 3 and Model Y

For a number of years I’ve been trying to get a Tesla for a test drive, but their media people have been AWOL – even when I had their actual email address, I was ignored. So how did we get this test drive? Patience really. I signed up on their website for a Tesla Test Drive Event – where they actually come to you – or close to you, and let you get behind the wheel of the vehicle of your choice for 30 minutes or so. Since I’m an Auto Journalist, I took the opportunity and asked to drive both the 3 and the Y so I could write an article, and they were happy to oblige!

Road-Test Special: We Go For A Spin In A LaFerrari, On The Autobahn!

On one of our numerous trips to Germany, we had the unique opportunity of getting a ride in the LaFerrari supercar… oddly enough, we’ve never posted the video here on Road-Test – even though it’s been on our YouTube page since 2016!!! With more than 55,660 views, it’s been pretty popular, to say the least! Well, we’ve corrected that oversight and you can now get a look at it right here.
