Decreasing traffic congestion isn't as simple as building more roads, according to a new report. New road construction may actually be making traffic worse. Called The Congestion Con, the report (via Curbed) found that traffic congestion has increased significantly over the past two decades--even as road construction has boomed. The United States'... Expanding highways adds to road congestion, report suggests

Even as Tesla started to make its first confirmed deliveries of the Model Y electric crossover, on Friday, the level of official information on this new and eagerly anticipated model remained sparse. With Tesla still lacking an official specs panel on its order site—or press kit—for the Model Y, beyond essentially the same preliminary... 
Just before deliveries of the Tesla Model Y began Friday (according to various accounts on Twitter, at least), Tesla showed more views of the interior, and nudged the top EPA range rating up to 316 miles. That's a one-mile increase from the 315 miles quoted by Tesla in January. At the time, the automaker said it was raising the top range rating...

The Mustang Mach-E electric SUV is finding the majority of its interest so far from people outside the Ford fold. Fast charging could use a rethink to help reduce heat buildup, researchers argue.

One good reason to buy an electric car is to save money on fuel, so will low gas prices slow down Tesla sales? Wall Street, it seems, says "no." In a recent Barron's article, two Wall Street analysts said they believe electric-car adoption is now largely decoupled from gas prices.

And while high-performance driving might heat up the packs momentarily, few things you can do to the pack come close to the potential wear and tear inflicted by the kind of charging you’d need to use on a highway trip: DC fast charging. Using what they term “the same industry... 
Deliveries of the Ford Mustang Mach-E haven't begun yet, but in the meantime Ford is releasing smaller tidbits of information—about the people making reservations for the electric crossover, for instance. Ford claims six out of 10 Mach-E reservation holders are coming from other brands. These customers haven't purchased a Ford (or Lincoln)... 
Bollinger gives an updated look at what’s under its electric trucks. Citroën goes very small and very affordable with a solution for dense urban areas like Paris.

Customers will also purchase an Ami outright for...
