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…
GM CEO Mary Barra confirmed at a New York technology event that the Cadillac Escalade IQ will offer ‘eyes-off’ highway driving starting in 2028. A turquoise light across the dashboard and mirrors will signal when the system is active, letting drivers read or answer messages while the vehicle drives itself. The announcement marks GM’s clearest…
Geely says its next solid-state battery will hit 500 watt-hours per kilogram, roughly double today’s best production cells, enabling more than 1,000 kilometers of range. The announcement landed this week alongside a named materials partner and a 2027 pilot timeline. Several of Geely’s own rivals have made nearly identical claims for the same year, a…
Two of the longest-running names in affordable EVs just went through the same redesign cycle at the same time. The 2026 Nissan Leaf and 2026 Chevy Bolt now compete directly again, both targeting budget-conscious buyers with genuinely different engineering choices under the skin. Range, charging speed, and price all split differently between them than either…
Cadillac now sells four distinct electric vehicles, and the gaps between them are bigger than a simple size ladder suggests. The Optiq starts under $50,000. The Escalade IQ starts well above six figures in top trims. Picking the right one depends on seating needs and charging port type as much as it does on budget,…
