On this episode of Quick Charge, we explore the wide range of electric conversions and restomods out there bringing classic style to the ultra modern world of electric vehicles ... even if there aren't that many of them around. Would you rather have a new Taycan, or an all-electric 901? A Demon-powered Hemi Charger, or a Ludicrous Tesla driven '72 Plymouth Satellite? See them all here, then let us know which one you'd like to drive home in the comments! Source Links This is

2024/07/16

In this special, second vacation episode of Quick Charge, we explore the historic dive in global diesel demand, and how the proliferation of EVs large and small is driving growth in the global mining industry – which, in turn, is driving growth in both the electric & autonomous mining equipment markets. In this episode, we’ll focus on how the continued push for more lithium, silicon, and phosphate is driving demand for electric mining equipment – and how, in turn, the need for

In this special vacation episode of Quick Charge, we explore the historic dive in global diesel demand, and whether it's being caused inflation and a slowing economy or the rapid rise in EV sales displacing millions of gallons of oil demand. In this episode, we'll focus on the rapid growth of the commercial EV market as one of the leading contributors to the global drop in diesel demand, coming perilously close to asking the question: has peak oil come and gone? Give it a

On today's episode of Quick Charge, Elon is being lied to about Full Self Driving, sales of the all-electric Porsche Taycan are plummeting, Hyundai has a $15,000 EV coming to market in Korea, and Mate Rimac celebrates 15 years of building go-fast EVs in Croatia with a $2.5 million special edition supercar. This one's really important, because Elon believes what he sees – and if what he sees about FSD are lies, damned lies, and (fake) statistics, that could help explain why he

2024/07/08

On today's episode of Quick Charge, we ask: What does war look like to someone who "narrowly avoided" military conscription in South Africa? Apparently it involves lots and lots of robots, and a cameo appearance from Bill Gates! Elon took to X to say he was ready to wage war on TSLA shorts – and, once he has self-driving cars and the Optimus robot figured out, his stock gains will "obliterate" Bill Gates ... all of which seems very sane and normal. In other news, there's a Model Y
