Tesla’s Gigafactory New York produced its final V3 Supercharger cabinet on March 16, 2026, closing out a seven-year, 15,000-cabinet production run. The V4 cabinet line has taken over entirely, bringing 500-kilowatt charging capability and support for 800-volt vehicles. That hardware shift affects far more than peak charging speed, reshaping installation costs and expansion pace across…
A non-Tesla EV plugging into a Supercharger pays roughly 40 percent more per kilowatt-hour than a Tesla does at the same stall, by Tesla’s own published pricing structure. A $12.99 monthly membership erases that gap entirely, matching Tesla owner pricing for any driver willing to pay it. Whether that membership actually saves money depends entirely…
Used EV prices are stabilizing after two brutal years, and the recovery changes the math for anyone shopping the used market right now. The average used EV sold for $34,821 in the first quarter of 2026, just $1,334 more than a comparable used gas car. As recently as early 2023, that gap exceeded $10,000. For…
Electric vehicles now cost an average of $3,159 a year to insure with full coverage, against $2,218 for a comparable gas car, a 42 percent gap according to 2026 rate data. That premium surprises plenty of shoppers who budgeted for lower fuel costs but never priced insurance separately. The gap traces to specific, fixable repair-cost…
Late-summer sale events are flooding e-bike and scooter listings with markdowns right now, from major retailer anniversary sales to direct manufacturer discounts. Not every advertised percentage off reflects a genuine price cut. Some listings simply raise a reference price before applying the discount, a pattern worth recognizing before treating any single sale badge as a…
British e-bike maker FLIT just unveiled the M2i, a fully equipped folding electric bike weighing 13.3 kilograms, or about 29.3 pounds. Most folding e-bikes on the market today weigh considerably more once a motor and battery get added. That weight gap changes how a folding e-bike actually gets used day to day, not just how…
GM’s 2028 eyes-off system and today’s hands-free Super Cruise sound like a small step apart. The engineering gap between them is much larger than the marketing language suggests. Removing the requirement to watch the road shifts legal and technical responsibility for driving decisions from the driver to the vehicle, a jump that requires an entirely…
Every major automaker selling EVs in the U.S. has now signed on to NACS, with Stellantis becoming the final holdout in late 2025. That agreement hasn’t translated into a native port yet. Current Stellantis EVs, including the Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger Daytona, still rely on a roughly $230 adapter, and the first native-NACS…
GM reported this year that nearly 750,000 Super Cruise-enabled vehicles have collectively logged over 1 billion hands-free miles without a crash attributed to the system. That statistic sounds like a definitive safety verdict. What it actually measures, and what it deliberately excludes, matters more than the headline figure most coverage repeats without examining. What GM’s…
Every prior Slate Truck story ran on specifications and reservation counts alone. InsideEVs recently got behind the wheel for a genuine first drive, the first real test most readers have seen of the sub-$25,000 electric pickup. A hands-on test doesn’t just confirm marketing claims; it also reveals what a spec sheet alone can’t capture about…
