In 2015, French aeronautical engineer Nicolas Muron was visiting his grandparents, who lived in the French Alps where transportation in the winter often depended on snowmobiles. After listening to the peace and quiet of the mountains begin shattered by fleets of those noisy, smelly beasts, he decided there had to be a better way — something like an e-bike for the snow that was lightweight, easy to maintain, and sustainable. Muron’s answer to the snowmobile invasion was the MoonBike. At 163 lbs, it weighs…
Electric bikes have long been popular for hunters due to their ability to reach hard-to-access areas quickly and quietly. But now we’re seeing a rather unique use of e-bikes as a hunting tool: to help take down invasive pythons in the Everglades. Electric bicycles have proven popular in Florida, with its year-round riding weather and high humidity that can make longer pedal-powered rides arduous. But snake-hunting is still a rather small niche of the broader e-bike market. At the rate that the local python population has grown though, perhaps that could be changing. Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades present…

Mencken was sadly spot on when he famously opined that “there is always an easy solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.” We are seeing this pattern emerge yet again in response to one of the most critical problems we face today on the climate front: how to rapidly build out the clean energy and transmission infrastructure we need in order to meet our carbon reduction commitments. A bedrock environmental law—the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)—has…

How can you claim up to $7,500 off some new Tesla models at the time of purchase? Which automaker announced plans to embrace the Tesla charge connector and reignite an offbeat kind of internal combustion engine, all in the same week? This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid gets a price hike—and more of a price bump versus non-hybrid Elantra models, although the Elantra Hybrid does now get the larger 10.3-inch infotainment screen. Efficiency-focused Elantra Hybrid Blue models retain the 54-mpg combined EPA rating.…
Stellantis has reaffirmed a claim of 500 miles of range for its STLA dedicated EV platform, set to underpin several future cars, crossovers, and SUVs from the automaker. STLA Large is one of four dedicated EV platforms announced by Stellantis in 2021, along with STLA Small, Medium, and Frame versions. Stellantis was making the 500-mile range claim then as well. The automaker has now clarified that this applies to sedans, but it hasn’t said whether it’s based on predicted EPA range numbers. Other details now being confirmed include capability for 400-volt or 800-volt charging, with fast charging at 4.5 kwh…
When I first coined the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week column nearly three years ago, this was precisely the type of thing I had in mind. Searching for all of the coolest and wildest electric vehicles from China’s largest online shopping site has finally landed me on the one I think I want the most right now: a chair that also happens to be an electric tank. Sure, there’s no main cannon. But that’s not really the coolest part of a tank, now is it? The coolest part of any main battle tank is the fact that…

Today, Representative Hank Johnson introduced federal transit operations funding legislation that could vastly improve transit across the country. UCS has been watching and supported a similar bill sponsored by Rep. Johnson in the last Congress. High-quality transit is freeing. It connects people to the places, communities, and resources we all need to thrive. It gives folks more options to driving a car. It is crucial for the climate, promotes thriving economies, can help address the long history of fossil-fuel backed politicians and corporations leaving Black and brown folks…
