The Week in Reverse
Which new plug-in hybrid was introduced for Europe? What system did Consumer Reports test and find lacking? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending May 24, 2019. This week, the news seemed mostly about Tesla and Audi, which are shaping up to be two of the biggest rivals in the...

The 2020 Karma Revero GT will trim back its signature handlebar mustache for a bushier walrus variety. And when it goes on sale late this summer, buyers will be able to order it at a new $100 million custom design center adjacent to the Karma factory in Moreno Valley, California. "Our [Karma Innovation and Customization Center] will offer every... 
German humor, as is quite often pointed out, is no laughing matter. Which is precisely what makes this sendoff to Dieter Zetsche, who on Wednesday stepped down from his position as CEO of Daimler, so funny. In a BMW ad called “retirement is about exploring your wide open future,” Zetsche [actually an actor dressed to look like him]... 
Rivian built an outdoor kitchen into its electric pickup. We took a road trip to assess the Audi E-tron's range in the real world. And EVgo is bringing fast chargers to gas stations. All this and more on Green Car Reports. Electric-truck hopeful Rivian is building all kinds of accessories for its upcoming pickup before the model even goes on sale... 
Not every electric-car first-drive event urges us to climb a mountain to get a good idea of driving range. Actually make that no other automaker, ever. But that’s what Audi had us do with its 2019 E-tron electric SUV: drive it on a prescribed route that took us nearly 195 miles from Yountville, California (102 feet elevation) and over... 
If electric cars need more public places to charge, maybe they could just go to gas stations. That seems to be the approach behind the latest installations of EVgo stations in California.
