GM has officially overtaken Tesla as Canada’s top EV seller in Q1 2025, driven by skyrocketing sales across its Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC electric lineup. With 5,750 EVs sold, the automaker's strategy is clearly gaining traction. New models like the Equinox EV and OPTIQ are helping GM cover nearly every segment. As the EV race heats up, this shift might signal the beginning of a reshaped electric future in North America.

California’s bold push toward zero-emission vehicles is encountering resistance in Washington. A recent Senate decision challenges the state’s authority to lead on clean transportation policy. As legal battles loom, the outcome could shape how much freedom states have in defining their environmental futures. At stake is not just policy—but who gets to lead the charge toward a cleaner tomorrow.

Tesla says your next car may arrive without a driver. Elon Musk claims that starting July, new Teslas will deliver themselves straight from the factory. The technology is being tested now in Austin with no safety drivers on board. What happens when buying a car no longer requires a person—or even a parking lot?

EV batteries aren’t retiring—they’re getting promoted. In Australia, one engineer is turning used Tesla and BYD packs into solar-powered money machines. These “dead” batteries are powering homes, feeding the grid, and earning real income. What if the EV revolution’s secret weapon isn’t the car—but what comes after it?

Your Hyundai Ioniq 9 might look like it’s ready for Tesla’s Superchargers—but those sleek plugs aren’t telling the whole story. Thanks to its high-voltage 800V architecture, the Ioniq 9 charges dramatically faster on non-Tesla networks. While access to Superchargers is expanding, they’re not yet optimized for Hyundai’s tech. In the fast-evolving EV world, knowing what’s under the plug may matter more than the brand on it.

Thinking about buying your first EV? There’s more to it than skipping gas stations and plugging in overnight. From charging logistics to used market steals, the right choice depends on more than range. What you don’t know before buying might matter more than you think.

Think you need a full panel upgrade to install a Level 2 EV charger? Not so fast. Homeowners with outdated 1960s wiring are finding smarter, safer ways to charge—without spending $10,000. From smart splitters to load-managing chargers, tech-savvy workarounds are changing the game. Sometimes the future of charging starts with the outlet you already have.

When your EV looks like it rolled straight out of a cartoon and into the street—fluffy, furry, and fully road-legal. 🐻
