Three Years Of Daily Driving My 2022 Lucid Air Through The Rockies Taught Me An EV Secret
14 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
Wayne Schell "drove his Lucid Air 71,000 miles through the Rockies and discovered an EV secret: climbing mountains drains the battery, but descending can recover over 100 miles of range."The difference between understanding EV range and mastering it is the same as knowing how to swim and being thrown into the deep end.

Gas Cars Will Start to Disappear Sooner Than You Think
12 Jul 2025 | Synopsis
"It turns out that when a state approaches 30% new EV sales, that's the tipping point for the number of gas cars on the road falling...Each year, there are 15-16M new cars sold in the US, while 12M exit the road permanently"...we actually only have to get to 4M new EV sales per year nationally before the number of gas cars begins its inexorable decline. That's because 16M - 12M cars = 4M. Once EVs surpass that number, there will be fewer gas cars."

My EV Is a Brick: When Software Locks Out the Driver
22 Oct 2025 | 
A Tesla owner's bricked EV after a software rollback highlights growing concerns over digital ownership. Critics warn that EVs are becoming "subscription machines," where features can vanish remotely. Proposed reforms include right to repair, feature permanence contracts, and regulatory oversight. As automakers like GM and Rivian expand EV offerings, the industry must decide: are EVs durable goods - or smartphones on wheels?

From Horses to Horsepower: Why EV Skeptics Sound Like 19th-Century Farriers
21 Oct 2025 | 
Alan Gelfand's anti-EV stance echoes 19th-century farriers resisting the automobile. His business depends on ICE vehicles, making his critique more nostalgic than neutral. EVs require less maintenance, offer long-term savings, and are backed by expanding service networks. Like carriage makers before him, mechanics must evolve or risk irrelevance. The transition is disruptive - but history favors adaptation over defiance.
EV Depreciation: A Temporary Dip, Not a Long-Term Trend
20 Oct 2025 | 
EV depreciation concerns are real but overstated. Fleet failures and battery uncertainty skew resale data, yet modern EVs show strong longevity and lower operating costs. Automakers now offer battery health reports, extended warranties, and OTA updates to boost confidence. Policy support and LFP chemistry further stabilize value. As transparency improves, EVs will redefine long-term worth - not just match it.
