In this blog: Tesla Motors doesn't owe me anything, but does so much for me. Stocks, financial results, missed expectations, predictions... Everybody's talking about it. They are talking at Tesla Motors as well (think the company's "hero" Elon Musk), but they are also doing something very important – giving. They are costantly expanding their (or shall we say ours) Supercharger network... (more…)
In this blog: By donating BMW i3 to eCars.bg you become part of an amazing new EV campaign in Bulgaria. Since 2010 with unfading inspiration we are efficiently investing in making e-mobility popular in Bulgaria. We created three different EV websites, invested our time and money into developing them and growing them into the largest online EV group in Bulgaria. Now already investing in, and creating a fourth website – a National EV charging locator.We are bringing electric mobility to people...
In this blog: A new electric bus is now part of the Sofia's public transport – charges in a couple of minutes and gets around the city. Listening to how people talk about the new electric bus, I quickly realized there's something wrong associated with media titles like "For the first time in Europe an electric bus is operating in Sofia". We know media... but electric buses are hardly new, and what sets the one in Sofia apart is that it...
In this blog: They are not quite alike, but some people find it interesting to compare Tesla Model S P85 and BMW i3. These are both so "open" – BMW i3 with all this roominess at the front seats and the brave move by BMW, and Tesla Model S being created by a group of such open minded people, dared to put 17" screen inside to replace the boring center console buttons, and more. Why we decided to compare these EVs? It was an Youtube video...
In this blog: If i3 BEV sells more the range is good enough, if REx is in the lead, then people need more. It's now official – EPA rated the electric BMW i3 at 81 miles of range in the USA. Also there the New Jersey restaurant owner Tom Moloughney is about to get his BMW i3 REx soon after years of participating in the MINI E and BMW ActiveE test programs. Looking forward, Tom says BMW will take into account i3 BEV vs i3...
In this blog: There's lots of engines to choose from so why not adding more batteries and electric motors as well? More EVs slowly come to the market, but save for Tesla Motors, no other auto maker offers different batteries on a given model. This needs to change soon as the "one battery for all" strategy doesn't seem to work very well... (more…)
In this blog: So, it's official – EVs will make some noise by default from 2019 on. There's something new, however, that we want to share. Thanks to one of our readers and a forum regular, we've got some news – EV noise indeed is getting mandatory, but we'll be able to switch it off... (more…)
In this blog: With 47.5 kWh in battery capacity the new BYD-Daimler EV pulls ahead of the competition. The German-Chinese joint-venture BYD Daimler New Technology Co., Ltd. (BDNT) unvieled its new electric creature under the DENZA brand at Auto China 2014. The "advertized" range of 300 km though sounds a bit too much, as the calculations clearly shows... (more…)
In this blog: Tesla powered electric B-Class first to launch in US, but that's exactly where a Mercedes-Benz exec is no fan of Tesla. The man in question is Mercedes-Benz's USA CEO himself, Steve Cannon, and being no fan means Tesla has "no network" and only offers "little shops that don't have service capacity"... (more…)
