We've Been Here Before - And So Have EVs]]> https://n0.lt/w/tJQ1Do4xvZDptw9GhYf9bt https://n0.lt/w/tJQ1Do4xvZDptw9GhYf9bt Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:46:10 GMT As many scholars will attest, we humans must either learn from the lessons of
history — or be doomed to repeat them. And right here, right now, in 2026, the
U.S. is certainly repeating a well-worn path: engaging in a conflict in the
Middle East that will undoubtedly leave thousands injured or killed, millions
displaced, and any semblance of who is 'right' and who is 'wrong' buried in the
chaos that follows.

And whenever a conflict wages in one of the world's most oil-rich regions, the
knock-on effects are immediate and severe: oil prices go up, entire economies are
threatened, and regardless of who started the war, or why, everyone on the planet
suffers.

As the U.S./Israeli war against Iran enters its third month, oil prices around
the world remain high — and more and more people are considering going electric.
But while history can teach us what not to repeat, it can also show us what to
expect. And while a ceasefire is currently in effect, there appears to be little
urgency — in some quarters, at least — to negotiate a lasting peace deal, return
the Strait of Hormuz to its usual operational state, and stop pushing oil prices
unnecessarily higher.

So today, Nikki is delving back into history to see what happened with EVs the
last time oil prices were severely affected by foreign war — and examining why
this brutal, bloody, and unnecessary conflict could yet end up promoting EV growth
from the ashes.

We Need To Rebrand It]]> https://n0.lt/w/ey6Uh83y47MuGSLJpf3N6N https://n0.lt/w/ey6Uh83y47MuGSLJpf3N6N Wed, 22 Apr 2026 18:17:38 GMT Since the very first Earth Day in 1970, April 22nd has been a day where people could push for a cleaner, greener future — a day to lobby politicians and companies to do better by the planet, and where we as consumers could find better ways to live.

But in recent years, Earth Day has become little more than a chance for companies to win customers with "Earth Day Discounts" — encouraging you to pick them over a rival, because they're greener.

So today, we're going back to a more literal interpretation of Earth Day. Join Nikki in her greenhouse as she plants some seeds for the year, shares practical ways to live Earth Day every single day — and looks toward a more hopeful future.

05:35 - Sunflowers and Pollinators
07:21 - Companies Co-opt Earth Day

09:25 - Why We Keep Our Existing EVs (and Don't Buy New Ones)
10:29 - Choosing a Product with a Mind to Longevity, Repairability, and Tools Like EFF and iFixit
12:42 - A Note on Our Family Server
13:39 - Sweetcorn Planting
15:16 - Nikki's Why
17:05 - Mindfulness
17:35 - Get an Energy Audit for Your Home!
19:49 - Be Mindful of Your Energy Use — and Consider Getting Renewables!
21:39 - Zucchini (or Courgettes!)
24:30 - Food and Carbon Footprints
29:23 - Living Lettuces
31:47 - Thanks and Goodbye!

It packs a decent amount of tech, convenient charging via Tesla's Supercharger network, and for many buyers, is their first foray into electric vehicles. And for that, it deserves real credit.

But as Elon Musk has become increasingly vocal about his political views, willingly platformed white extremist and xenophobic voices, and meddled in multiple countries' political processes, there's a growing number of people who would drive a Model Y were it not for his leadership position at the company.

Polestar may have come up with a solution for those who want Model Y-like vibes without the Tesla badge.

Meet the Polestar 4. Sure, it's got one really weird quirk — but after a week with it, Nikki is liking it more than she thought she would...although she's got some significant concerns over night time visibility thanks to an all-digital rear-view mirror.

Yet pretty much every seed Nikki planted - many of them old - decided to germinate, meaning she's got way more plants than she needs.

And that means it's probably time for her to think about selling or giving away some plants. And today she wants your feedback on how she should do it.

]]> Transport Evolved Take 2 People nonadult Transport Evolved Chicken and Garden Update: Nikki's Going To Have To Give Some Of These Away! It's pretty usual advice to expect older seeds to not all germinate, so when planting older seeds.. most people plant more than they will need. Yet pretty much every seed Nikki planted - many of them old - decided to germinate, meaning she's g... <![CDATA[Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Do People Have A 'Right to Charge' Where You Live?]]> https://n0.lt/w/vcFwZdSBMtnaLb9iDg1yx8 https://n0.lt/w/vcFwZdSBMtnaLb9iDg1yx8 Sat, 18 Apr 2026 04:44:35 GMT As more people look toward EV ownership as a way to avoid the continued high oil prices, we're seeing more people who traditionally wouldn't buy an EV considering one - even if they don't own a home with off-street parking.

Which leads us to today's topic: does where you live have any legislation affording renters a right to charge their EVs at home?

Stay safe, stay engaged. Please watch our livestream from January.

Here's What You Need To Know]]> https://n0.lt/w/etFpyNfeweWAetHBXVZ4bk https://n0.lt/w/etFpyNfeweWAetHBXVZ4bk Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:30:02 GMT While oil prices continue to go up as the situation in the Middle East worsens, more and more people are likely going to be investigating buying an EV for the first time - and as we noted last week - interest in EVs is already on the rise as a consequence.

But long before President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu began their war against Iran - in fact long before President Trump's re-election into the White House - EV sales around the world were soaring. Driven by generous incentives, automakers began offering incredible lease deals that encouraged people to lease rather than buy - and that's led to 2026 being the year in which many of those lease deals are ending.

That translates to the largest off-lease EV fleet ever - and more used car choice for those looking for a new-to-them EV.

So today, we're going to explain the ins and outs of why there are so many EVs coming onto the used market this year, give you some reminders about how auto leases work - and point out some things that you need to be mindful of if you're in the market for a used off-lease EV.

⏱️ Chapter Breakdown:

00:00 - Introduction
02:12 - Some smart disclaimer
02:58 - Why there are so many off-lease cars this year
05:05 - A few years old, in good condition
05:55 - The 'spectre of leased vehicles'
06:42 - Typical leasing structure
07:54 - Overage charges aren't always to 'fix' the car
08:12 - Warranties
09:54 - Battery warranty yes... but other warranties? Meh.
11:08 - A note on subscription services
15:42 - Support the Channel!
16:12 - The most common ways off-lease vehicles are sold on
18:26 - Not all used car dealers really understand EVs
20:25 - Battery Health Checks Are Essential!
21:38 - Extended Warranties
23:28 - Some known "warranty gotchas"
25:43 - Did we mention reading the battery warranty?
27:57 - Some final tips...
29:19 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

And that's leading more people to consider an electric vehicle for the first time.

So today, we're asking a very simple question: who has asked you recently about going electric? And what kind of questions are they asking?

And because of all that nice sunshine, Nikki's lawn is in need of its first cut of the season. While not all the lawn got cut, she really did have to get the mower out for the front.

Now, if only she could find lawn-alternatives that aren't going to impact potential sales if things go... south.

]]> TEN - Transport Evolved News Roundup Show Vehicles nonadult TEN 577 | Volkswagen Kills US EVs, BMW + Rimac Work Together On i7, R2 EPA Figures Leak On this week's episode of TEN Volkswagen updates the ID.4 and ID.5 family of EVs in Europe while simultaneously announcing the end of ID.4 production in the U.S (in order to make a gas-guzzling SUV instead), BMW and Rimac working together on th... <![CDATA[I Love My F-150 Lightning. I Hate My Charge Station Pro. I Want A Refund]]> https://n0.lt/w/hYkPxcAk2c8E2DHNwvf7wJ https://n0.lt/w/hYkPxcAk2c8E2DHNwvf7wJ Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:35:50 GMT The Ford F-150 Lightning BEV may no longer be in production, but when it launched back in 2022, one of its killer features was its ability to provide backup power to your home using a dedicated charging station paired with a Delta inverter system.

While the inverter has proven very reliable, the Ford Charge Station Pro — as you all know — has been nothing but a headache. And, despite replacing the motherboard on her most recent unit in October, Nikki's system is yet again broken. And because she followed Ford's advice, it also no longer pairs with her truck to provide backup power.

Not only is she frustrated — but she's frankly wondering when Ford will give every F-150 Lightning owner who paid for the Home Integration System a refund.

Love the truck — for truck stuff. Love the idea of being able to back up her home — and when it works, it's great. But fit for purpose isn't something this Siemens-made (and Ford-badged) unit is capable of meeting.

Today, Nikki gives an update on what's been happening, how Ford flew someone out to diagnose the problem (and has committed to sending a new unit out... again) — and gives an update on her customization plans for the truck (which are proceeding nicely!)

⏱️ Chapter Breakdown:

00:00 - Introduction
00:36 - A reminder...
04:30 - Ford flew someone out...
05:19 - Love the truck, hate the FCSP!
06:45 - An update on the fog light project...
08:54 - Lens Lizard!
11:08 - A note on the recalls we had done
12:51 - Thanks, and Goodbye!

Now You Have an Even Better Reason To Switch]]> https://n0.lt/w/pM2nWABJjpbuo9MaYZp9rP https://n0.lt/w/pM2nWABJjpbuo9MaYZp9rP Tue, 07 Apr 2026 04:38:23 GMT If you're an EV driver right now, you're probably watching the situation in the Middle East with a mixture of dread and quiet relief. The war between the U.S., backed by Israel, and Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz — through which a quarter of the world's seaborne oil passes — and fuel prices are heading somewhere uncomfortable for anyone still at the pump.

This video is for you — and for the friends, family members, and random strangers who've started asking whether they should make the switch. We cover the real numbers, the common myths, and the honest caveats. As always.

We made two versions — this one, with the full editorial commentary intact, and a cleaner cut for newcomers. You might want to share that one instead if the people you're helping aren't quite ready for Nikki's usual level of snark — or her political opinions about the current state of the world. (You can see it here: https://youtu.be/mrhcTsugdCc)

If you've been thinking about making the switch to an electric vehicle, or someone you know has been asking you about it, this video is a straightforward guide to help you figure out whether it makes sense for you — without the jargon, without the lecture, and without the politics.

We cover the real numbers on range, battery life, charging, and cost — plus the common myths that tend to put people off, and the honest caveats you actually need to know.

So today's Sunday Musing has a very simple question: what's the strangest reaction to your EV you've ever experienced?

Stay safe, stay engaged. Please watch our livestream from January.
