The Cutest Existential Crisis on Four Wheels
Fiat's new Topolino Vilebrequin is the cutest existential crisis on four wheels. It's a beachy, turtle-print electric go-kart for the French Riviera, with a top speed not worth mentioning. It’s slow, it’s silly, and I'm obsessed. This tiny EV revolution is adorable.

The Electric Range Rover: A Silent Butler in Wellington Boots?
The Electric Range Rover is here, and it’s... a Range Rover. Shocking, I know. With 542 hp, a massive 118 kWh battery, and the aerodynamic profile of a garden shed, it promises 300 miles of range (if you drive downhill with a tailwind). It's still a magnificent, go-anywhere luxury barge, just one that whispers instead of rumbles. For $200,000, you get a silent butler in Wellington boots. I'm sold.
Tesla's Diner Is Real, and I'm Shocked I Want to Go
I rarely touch the subject of Tesla, but a retro-futuristic diner with giant movie screens and a potential robot waiter is too wonderfully absurd to ignore. What began as a mad 2018 tweet is now a real place in Hollywood, turning the chore of EV charging into dinner-and-a-movie.

Meet the Nevera R, a car that does 0-60 mph in 1.66 seconds, tops out at 268.2 mph, and costs a cool $2.7 million. It’s gloriously pointless, and I’m in love. It’s not a car; it’s a friendly argument with the laws of physics.

The Electric Boogaloo 2: Is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N the EV We've Been Waiting For?
Well, I’ll be. Hyundai’s N division wasn't content with making a nutty electric SUV, so they’ve now given the slick Ioniq 6 a 641-hp shot of adrenaline. It’s got a wing the size of a park bench, and fake gearshifts. There’s even a "Drift Spec" version in the works. The electric future is here, and it’s learned how to do a massive, smoky burnout.
This Glorious Little Mud-Plugger is the EV We Deserve
Ever look at a cute electric city car and think, "I wish I could drive that over a mountain?" Well, some magnificent German lunatics did.

It’s silent, savage, and just a little bit silly.
Have You Ever Wanted to Rally an Electric Car? Alpine A290 Is The Answer
