One State Saves EV Drivers $2,346 A Year, Then The Insurer Takes A Third Back

Image
Rising electricity prices still trail well behind the surge at the pump. Big savings can be found in states with high gas costs and low electricity costs. However, EVs tend to cost more to insure, eating into the fuel savings. A new analysis of the US car market reveals how much the average driver could save on fuel by switching to an EV. On average across the country, replacing a gasoline-powered vehicle with a typical EV charged at home currently saves drivers nearly $1,500 a year at the pump. However, that figure varies considerably by state, with the West generally delivering the biggest savings. See: Ford’s $30,000 Electric Pickup Just Got Its First Official Look By pairing the average driving distance of American motorists with typical fuel and electricity prices, Bloomberg has mapped where buying an EV makes the most sense. Leading the charge is Washington, home to the third-highest gas prices in the country yet also among t...

$1.1 Million Chevy Is A Tiny House On Wheels

Image
This used EarthRoamer carries a $1.1 million asking price. The luxury overlander has traveled just 8,228 miles. Its equipment list rivals many high-end motorhomes. Most used pickups lose value the moment they leave the dealership. This one is listed for $1.1 million. To put that into perspective, you could buy a fleet of brand-new heavy-duty trucks, a supercar, and still have money left over. Yet for buyers shopping at the very top of the overlanding world, this EarthRoamer XV-SX might actually seem like a reasonable proposition. Also: This $3M Space-Age Motorhome Looks Like It’s From Another Planet The vehicle in question is a 2023 EarthRoamer XV-SX with 8,228 miles on the odometer. While supercar builders focus on speed and performance at all costs, this type of truck takes that ethos and applies it to going off-road. EarthRoamers have long occupied a unique corner of the market where luxury motorhomes, expedition vehicles, and hea...

Chrysler Is Down To One Model, This Sub-$40K Crossover Is Its Comeback Plan

Image
A Stellantis powertrain video teased Chrysler’s next new model. Renderings imagine the production Airflow from that footage. The crossover should land as a 2028 model priced under $40,000. For years, Stellantis has left the Chrysler brand to rot, and the proof is in the showroom: the lineup is down to just one model, the Pacifica minivan and its Voyager twin. That changes before the decade is out. The company has confirmed three crossovers joining the range by 2030, and the first of them may look something like this. Chrysler has floated the idea of fresh product for a while now, the high point being the sleek Airflow concept, a sedan-and-SUV hybrid shape it showed in early 2022 . The company killed that model but kept the idea, and a vehicle that reads as its next step surfaced earlier this month in a Stellantis video about powertrains. That mystery machine is the basis for these renderings, created by Nikita Chuyko for Kolesa . Rea...
