2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV is Electrification for the (Normal) People #cars #electricvehicles
EVs cost less to operate, fuel at home and can be fun to drive. Chevrolet adds something radical with the new Equinox EV- normalcy. It’s a compact SUV with loads of room and 319 miles of reach, practically eliminating range anxiety. Can Chevy appeal to the masses? It just might with a starting price of $35,000 before any tax credits. Tom Voelk teams up with Car and Driver contributing editor John Voelcker in Detroit, MI to find out. They drive a mid-level front-wheel drive 2LT with Super Cruise and check out life without Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Tom attended a GM sponsored event to produce this video. His opinions remain true.

2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally Extreme Ride-Along With Vaughn Gitten Jr. #electricvehicle #cars

For good clean fun in the dirt, there’s nothing quite like the new 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally. And who better to demonstrate that than pro driver Vaughn Gitten Jr? Tom Voelk rides shotgun with JR on the back forty of DirtFish Rally School in Snoqualmie, WA to find out what 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque can do in the hands of a professional. The full review of the Rally is coming so...
Here’s Why GM’s Super Cruise Rules The Highway #cars #autonomousvehicles #electricvehicle

For true handsfree driving, it’s tough to beat General Motors’ Super Cruise. In its latest version it can navigate over 750,000 miles of roadways in North America. It performs lane changes by itself, courteously stays out of the left lane unless passing, and can even tow. All while feeling confident. Car and Driver contributing editor John Voelcker joins Tom Voelk outside of Detroit, MI in the ...

With a bladder busting range of 440 miles, the impressive 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST packs a punch. It's all here- Fast 350kW charging, dual motor 4WD, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, four wheel steering, air suspension, vehicle-to-home power ability and Super Cruise.

2025 Genesis GV80 3.5T AWD is Luxury That Should Be On Your Radar

The Genesis GV80 has always been a refined and luxurious choice in the premium SUV segment. The 2025 model mid-cycle refresh makes it even better. Rejuvenated on the outside with “two-line” design enhancements, it’s the cabin that gets the most attention. And remember, that’s what owners see the most of. A new 27-inch OLED screen and Korean-inspired interior treatments make it memorable. Tom Vo...

    Tom, I have enjoyed your content for many years now, and yes, you SHOULD have over 1M subscribers. In order to achieve that however, you likely need more content (2X or 3X per week) with more variety: comparison tests, long-term vehicles, etc. And take advantage of Martin. Let him share his feedback at the end…could be an interesting contrast to your own views. Also, weren’t you supposed to buy a Cadillac Lyriq or similar EV? Was looking forward to hearing your decision.

    If Chevy / GM deciding that they wouldn't support Apple Carplay / Android Auto in EVs so they could 'monetize' me as an owner hadn't already mostly removed their entire portfolio from our 2025 purchasing plans, the fact they sold all the driving data of their cars to insurance companies was a step to far. They won't let me use my computing components, and I'm supposed to trust theirs? nope. We loved our Bolt, but the next gen is out.

    Can't help but think that GM completely dropped the ball on the powertrain. Even with the weakest engine, it gets worse fuel economy than the outgoing V6. I've heard nothing but praise for the outgoing diesel from owners & not sure why they dropped it. Can't understand why they didn't offer the baby duramax from the silverado however, as it appears to be a great engine. Great truck let down by the powertrain.

    Aside from the whole issue with not enough Genesis dealers/centers to deal with their supposed "luxury" badge and pricing - they'll never be on the level of a Lexus because they are horrendous on gas consumption. I know it's a heavy SUV, but they really sacrificed too much when it comes to that...city driving is abysmal with a V6 and in the long run, not really worth it considering how high gas prices are and will likely remain.

    @lorenschwiderski Před 2 dny

    The pricing at Subaru is a bit crazy. Once you get the 2.5 engine / Sport on a CrossTrek, you are at or above the Forester or Outback. Taking note of what comes on the Premium Outback, leather steering wheel, and other bits on the car, and all the other items included, should you do the same on a CrossTrek Sport or Premium, you are so close to above the two large cars, it is amazing. I will say, a shorter and tad sportier cars might be a little more fun, though a longer wheelbase is normally best on the freeway. Maybe a little saving on gas, but there too, once you go up to 2.5 engine, the real world gas mileage is less than the 2.0. On the freeway, is the Outback not close to the Sport Crosstrek? Around town, it might do much better. Maybe it is between lux feel and safety, compared to sporty and easy to zip around in town in. Or the looks -- both have their point in looks. Just different. The interior, I give to Outback. The exterior on Outback, aside of the Tupperwear look on the front / side, is sleek. The CrossTrek overall more sporty. But the pricing. I am so old, I recall smaller to larger cars having a very wide pricing between compact, middle size and bigger boats.

    Normalcy. You mean compared to the Cadillac version with all the odd styling details and weirdness? That's what I was thinking. I think a lot of customers want something more normal looking.

    While you mentioned that GM as well as others may have use of the Tesla Surpercharging network, a note of caution should be warranted. There is no time frame for GM to access it.. Tesla fired its entire crew that was to work with and coordinated with GMs people in order to integrate the two systems and provide proper protocols their cars to work seamlessly, thus causing delays in use for GM vehicles as well as others that talked about adopting NACS..

      @@shethjones4494 It is true here in the US we have magic dock adapters at many Tesla sites and companies like Rivan and Ford have been able to implement protocols in conjunction with Tesla to be able to use Tesla superchargers . I don't want to get into expansion of V4 or 800V nominal charging nor the fact Ford and Rivan must use the Tesla app in order to access discount charging. In short the experience of using Tesla sites for non Tesla owners is not quite as seamless as some make it out to be. But I concede it is working for Ford and Rivan users. But what is not true at this moment is companies like GM, Hyundai Group and others will not have full access at Tesla sites. Companies who were interfacing with Tesla not only adopt the NACS standard, but also be able to use the Tesla Superchargers sites. This required working groups to coordinate their different protocols, software and other source code work to make this happen. But, and here is the crux of the issue, when musk fired his supercharger team, there was no one left for OEMs to work with Tesla. Further, suppliers, designers and expansion of the Tesla network, has no one to approve expansion details, let alone pay suppliers and contractors. And in the weeks that have passed, from sources, there has been no improvement at Tesla. What this means, companies like GM who were hoping to have access Tesla sites other than using magic dock stations, are left floundering on what will happen next. And what Musk says and what reality is, are two very different beings at this moment. There is no clarity on this matter.
