Telo trucks has made some big promises. Its upcoming MT1 electric mini truck is supposed to deliver up to 350 miles of range, 8,000 pounds of towing capacity, 500 horsepower, ultra-fast 800V charging, and a five-foot truck bed in a footprint no longer than a two-door Mini Cooper. But as America’s graveyard of EV startups grows, is Telo prepared to go the distance? I interviewed two of the company’s founders to find out. Both CEO Jason Marks and CTO Forrest North say that the company’s first product is almost ready to launch. But both are also honest that high-volume production…
Matt Gush/Shutterstock Flock is the name on the lips of a lot of fed-up American citizens as of late, thanks to the litany of ways this dystopian mass surveillance company has angered the public and caused harm. Despite the vast array of blunders, including (but certainly not limited to) creepy cops using the database to track down and stalk their ex-partners, and even the wrongful detainment of a fellow automotive journalist, some people still think the cameras are a good thing. Now, new data shows that Atlanta, the city with over 5,000 Flock Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs), and the city…

Sustainability doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Just because something is made from recycled or renewable material, doesn’t mean it has to feel cheap or that it can’t be luxurious. Bentley isn’t the first company to make a stylish, luxurious interior out sustainable materials but, with the upcoming Torcal electric SUV, it is the first to use one of the world’s most luxurious materials in a car: Merino wool. Wool isn’t typically used in car cabins because it isn’t a particularly durable fabric under constant abrasion. It’s great for sweaters, but the constant sitting, rubbing, and touching that automotive interiors go…

Ionna and Walmart are both aggressively expanding their EV charging networks. Both are offering lower-than-average prices, data from Chargenomics shows.

Last week, we witnessed the unveiling of the one-off Bugatti Destrier at The Quail. It’s based on the Bolide, which makes it the brand’s most extreme road car. Bugatti design boss Frank Heyl has created an absolute stunner. Jaws dropped when the covers came off, but it was later, when the car was seen driving past a few parked vehicles, that we got the true sense of its scale. The Destrier sits super low to the ground. The Tourbillon-inspired exterior design looks classy, but the Bolide platform gives it an aggressive stance. The Bugatti Destrier is the third model under…
