A capable all-electric pickup truck can be a great vehicle. Tradespeople, for example, will find it convenient to power their many tools without a generator and spend less on fuel (if they charge at home or the office). But when it comes to towing, things start to look rather disappointing. Suppose you have $100,000 lying around for a new pickup truck, and Tesla's triangle on wheels catches your eye.

Reliable DC fast charging is what the US needs to accelerate the transition to zero-tailpipe emission vehicles. Most people won't drive an all-electric car unless they are able to comfortably travel long distances. The more Supercharger-like stations, the better. Sadly, vandals are now targeting existing locations and making life harder for those who have already made the switch.

The Super Sport package was born on the Impala in 1961. Available for only $53 in the first year on the market, the SS treatment didn't bring many changes, gradually becoming a highly desirable upgrade in the following years. In 1963, the Super Sport was already the model everybody was drooling over, contributing to the record sales the Impala eventually obtained in 1965 (when it became the first car in the US to sell more than 1 mil.

In 1981, when General Motors opened a new facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and began assembling Corvettes on its 7.3-mile-long conveyor-fed assembly line, car nuts raised an eyebrow. The C3 Corvette was very long in the tooth by then, and enthusiasts started to ask whether a new generation was in the works. It became crystal clear that the long-lived C3 was bidding farewell when the Collector Edition was announced.

Few mechanics are properly equipped to deal with all-electric vehicle issues. Unless properly trained, they are limited to what service manuals say. In many cases, shops refuse to work on EVs that have tricky problems because they don't want to risk making things worse for everyone involved.
