Located at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center at the south entrance of Grand Canyon National Park in Tusayan, Arizona, the charging station includes six individual chargers with power rates up to 350 kw—the maximum currently offered on the Electrify American network. A trip to the Grand Canyon was previously challenging for many EVs. The South Rim is about 160 miles from Flagstaff, Arizona, the nearest large city, and there are few places to stop…

I’ve spent more money on maintenance of my 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ (Standard Range Plus), so it’s time for another cost of ownership update. Also, before I get into the latest expense, I should note that I decided to pass on the Tesla extended warranty option. I wrote about it a couple of times and considered the extensive feedback from some readers, eventually deciding to take the risk and assume I’ll spend less in the next couple of years on extra maintenance/repairs than…

On October 1, 2023, Tesla surprisingly updated the Model Y in China, applying changes to the exterior, interior, and a few select specs. The move is surprising because we are not talking about a major refresh, like in the case of the Model 3 (code name Highland), but a relatively limited update. A much more significant update (previously associated with a code name Juniper) is expected at some point in 2024. Let’s start with the exterior. Tesla introduced a new, black 19-inch wheel design, which replaces the previous silver Gemini ones. We are not sure, but the new wheels potentially…
Less than three months after announcing entry into a new market of Israel, Chinese EV automaker ZEEKR is continuing its expansion in the Middle East (and around the globe for that matter) and doing so quickly. The young automaker has announced four new partnerships that will see EV deliveries coming quite quickly. Although ZEEKR remains a relatively new brand to the EV space, it garners consistent coverage on Electrek because, well… it is consistently growing its lineup of “futuristic” EVs and the territories in which they are sold. After producing over 100,000 electric vehicles in a mere 18 months of…
