Three days before a Super Bowl ad that will introduce its first all-electric truck to the world, General Motors on Thursday released a few early details of the upcoming GMC Hummer EV.

Most of today’s electric vehicles are far from range-anxiety-inducing. Their suggested charging stops and helpful range meters help keep you well short of the red zone. But sometimes, maybe once or twice when the unexpected happens, you may find your vehicle—as well as your propensity for range anxiety—put to the test. Which EVs... 
Tesla hasn’t run a single traditional TV ad so far. Yet one political ad that’s been running in Iowa might as well be a Tesla commercial. It’s a campaign spot for Andrew Yang, and while Green Car Reports doesn’t usually dive so deeply into political commercials, this one is something different—consisting of what plays...

Tesla claims a range of up to 500 miles for its upcoming Cybertruck electric pickup. And with the brand known for energy efficiency, would it even consider releasing a design that doesn’t make the aerodynamic cut? It appears not, as a number of early assessments suggested that the Cybertruck isn’t nearly as blunt as it looks. And... 
The Ford Escape lineup has improved on multiple fronts this year—and not just with the return of the far more fuel-efficient Escape Hybrid. The other major front of improvement is being proven by third-party tests: safety. The 2020 Escape lineup was rated earlier this month by the IIHS as a Top Safety Pick. The IIHS confirmed to Green Car...
