Don’t Let Anyone Tell You Driving Across Kansas Sucks
I've lost count of how many times I have crisscrossed the USA by car. Each interstate adventure has been a little different.

Four Electric Pickup Trucks Were Driven Until They Died. Only One Met Its Advertised Range
We love a good range test here at InsideEVs, and this one, courtesy of our friends at Out of Spec Reviews, is a pretty important one. It gathers almost all the American-made electric pickups that are on sale today to see if any of them can really meet their advertised range.
