It didn't take long for Volkswagen to read our letter. The VW ID 2all concept unveiled last week for Europe finally puts all those digital displays to work, correctly. The automaker showed off a customized digital infotainment and instrument cluster that would mimic the old displays from the VW Beetle, Jetta, and others.
The site Go Banking Rates (GBR) attempted to figure out how much the average American driver spends on gas, per state, over the course of that driver's decades behind the wheel. Considering the methodology, it's probably best to look at this as a financial relationship between states regarding projected current outlay or how much drivers in each state drive on average. We've already got questions about what's happening in Wyoming.
On Tuesday, the US General Services Administration began an auction for the decommissioned Cheyenne supercomputer, located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The 5.34-petaflop supercomputer ranked as the 20th most powerful in the world at the time of its installation in 2016. Bidding started at $2,500, but its price is currently $270,085.
All but two states require that drivers have car insurance, yet a recent MarketWatch Guides study found that one in eight drivers (12.5%) were uninsured. It ranked the states with the highest percentages of uninsured drivers, and none of them included the two where insurance is optional.
Commuting is just about the least entertaining thing you can do in a car. Sitting in traffic in a sea of other miserable people might give you plenty of time to catch up on a podcast or audiobook, but it’s not great for your health and certainly doesn’t make you a more productive or dedicated employee. Energy.gov's most recent Fact of the Week ranked the states with the shortest — and the longest — commutes, showing that some places have it way easier than others.
It doesn’t matter how much you love driving or how nice your car is, commuting often sucks. Nobody wants to spend hours of their life sitting in stop-and-go traffic on the way to work, only to have to do the same thing again eight or more hours later. Commuters in some states have it way worse than others, however, as this week’s Energy.gov Fact of the Week shows. New York drivers top the list for the longest commute time in the U.S.
I was standing next to a blue 2023 Maserati Grecale Trofeo in rural Ohio when the sky turned black. I frantically clicked shutters on two cameras, trying to capture the best photos of my life. I only had three minutes under the total solar eclipse, and when the moon’s shadow lifted, I was left with mixed emotions. To explain why, I have to start at the beginning.
The sparsely populated and remote state of Wyoming has never been known for vehicle manufacturing, although Laramie saw its first locally-built horseless carriage hit its streets in 1898. You never know what you'll find in a junkyard, though, and I managed to spot a genuine Wyoming-built vehicle in a self-service yard just south of the Denver city limits: a Walker Power Truck utility vehicle.
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. There’s also a mobile DC fast charger hooked up to a diesel generator, which you don’t see every day.
