Tesla has reportedly started constructing a new restaurant in Santa Monica, the first of its kind in the US.

In a first look at the 2024 Honda Prologue, Green Car Reports sees it to be right on the money in terms of what it needs to be as both a step up from the CR-V Hybrid and a gateway model to Honda’s own…

The crash killed Lee and severely injured his two passengers, Reuters reported. The plaintiffs are arguing that Tesla knowingly installed…
This week, Honda revealed new information about its upcoming mini electric N-Van e with an anticipated 130 miles (210 km) of range. The new Honda N-Van e is built for business and personal use with features like vehicle-to-home (V2H), a flexible interior, and portable power capabilities. The Japanese automaker announced plans last December to launch a new light commercial EV based on its gas-powered Honda N-Van. Honda’s goal was to expand the usability of its ICE light van in the form of an EV. As such, the exterior is nearly identical despite the bumper being made from recycled materials. Honda…

Even in the face of climate adversity, when wildfires consume hundreds of acres of supple green forest, when floods rise up and swallow entire communities, when heat and drought compromise food security and threaten human health, we want to believe that we can drive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the world’s energy sector to net zero and limit global warming to 1.5 °C, or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. The IEA says our deepest hope to save the planet…
