Ford's new EV platform "will underlie not only next year’s new truck, promised to start in the $30,000s, but also a variety of vehicles to come, creating manufacturing savings that will hopefully allow Ford to sell more affordable" EVs. heatmap.news/electric-veh... by @andrewmoseman.bsky.social

I'm back in @theatlantic.com today on EREV, the electric cars that burn gas — and might convince pickup truck America to take a chance on battery power

The "extended-range electric vehicle" is an #EV with a gas-powered charger, which may assuage Americans' range anxiety but alleviates few of the issues with either full #EV or conventional vehicles, argues @andrewmoseman.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/technology/2... #design #cars

I love cars and especially EVs. I cover them all the time for @heatmap.news and @theatlantic.com. What I'd love 10 times more would be if LA were really, actually, easily navigable by choo-choo. And if you could bicycle without fear of death.

Shoutout to the terrible mid-1990s Chicago Cub squads who provide lots of @immaculategrid.com answers for me — or as I have decided to call them, WGN Heroes.

The first EVs with 400 miles of range are getting release dates, which stands to resolve one of EVs' biggest pain points. Because after all, as @andrewmoseman.bsky.social writes, who even wants to drive 400 miles without a break? heatmap.news/electric-veh...

It is hard to fully express the depths of my loathing for Gemini's 'make concise' suggestions that litter my drafts in Gmail. Or, as it would rather have me write: "I don't like this. I am a bot, btw."

" Once you've got your solar panel there's no cost for the sun." "With a stroke," says @kingsmillbond.bsky.social, "this war has dramatically increased the power and the influence of those who want to go down the solar route." Here's why countries are glad they invested in solar, batteries+ EVs ⬇️

Key details of the long-awaited Rivian R2 are out. Will it take the company from niche automaker to major player? @andrewmoseman.bsky.social thinks yes — with a few caveats. Read his full take: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

US solar installation: Down 14% between 2024 and 2025. Chinese solar installation: Up 14% between 2024 and 2025. Last year China installed more than 7 times more solar capacity than the US. So much for energy dominance...

My hope: Chevy Bolt becomes the Futurama of cars and comes back by popular demand a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time...

When @andrewmoseman.bsky.social got behind the wheel of the new Chevy Bolt, all he could think was, “Who would want to kill this car?” Read more about his test drive and what it says about the future of affordable EVs: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

The future of Tesla hinges on a product that's far less glamorous than robots and robotaxis, writes Andrew Moseman.

Electric vehicle batteries are slowly coming down in cost. But there's a quicker way automakers are trying to make their EVs more affordable. Here's @andrewmoseman.bsky.social on their latest obsession: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

I tried out 'damp' January and all I got was this YouTube rabbit hole. Me in @slate.com slate.com/technology/2...

The new battery-powered Toyota Highlander signals that the Prius-maker is finally ready to go all-electric — just as the rest of the industry is retreating. Here's @andrewmoseman.bsky.social on the move: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

I'm on the podcast today talking new EVs in 2026

The Chevy Bolt is already dead. Again — to be replaced by an internal combustion Buick. Here's @andrewmoseman.bsky.social on why this tells us everything about the U.S. auto market: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

GM has already killed the new Chevy Bolt… and it’s revamping its Kansas factory to make internal combustion cars, @andrewmoseman.bsky.social writes: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

Right around Disneyland, there's a spot where my Tesla's Autopilot thinks it's on the access road rather than the freeway and suddenly tries to brake down to 45 mph. I talk about the growing pains of EVs, AI, and autonomy on @npr.org show 1A: the1a.org/segments/cyb...

Last year was a doozy for electric vehicles. Will 2026 be any better? Here's @andrewmoseman.bsky.social on some of the most exciting EVs set to come out this year:

"Because they started out expensive, EVs have yet to be seen as economy cars — in the United States, at least. But with more affordable models arriving just as the car market starts to creak, that could soon change," writes @andrewmoseman.bsky.social: heatmap.news/electric-veh...

It's me on @wbur.org @npr.org, talking about tiny cars and America www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

"Chile has begun construction on its first utility-scale Tesla Megapack project in the Atacama Desert, deploying 240 Shanghai-made units for a 225 MW/900 MWh battery system at Colbún's Celda Solar plant. The $260 million project, Tesla's first major deployment in Latin America." #battchat

We don't need kei cars. We need the cars we *used* to have.

Trump is enchanted by Japanese kei cars, and we get it. They're adorable! But they're also an awkward fit in American driving culture. @andrewmoseman.bsky.social has some alternative suggestions: heatmap.news/politics/tru...

GM is one of the big winners of the EV race — and yet it's still taking a $1.6 billion charge in Q3 because of the Trump administration's huge policy swings. Here's @andrewmoseman.bsky.social with the story:
