In-depth EV reviews by EV Rob.
Cadillac has spent the last couple of years building an entire lineup of electric SUVs whose names all end in the letters IQ, which makes shopping for one feel a little like being quizzed on a spelling bee you didn’t study for. Optiq, Lyriq, Vistiq, Escalade IQ. They climb in size and price as you…
Cadillac’s full size electric flagship, the Escalade IQ, is a magnificent, enormous, technologically dazzling machine that also costs about as much as a small house down payment and weighs more than nine thousand pounds. It’s spectacular. It’s also more SUV than most families could ever reasonably use or afford. Which is precisely the gap the…
Most vehicles have a personality. The Blazer EV has two, and they’re barely on speaking terms. At the bottom of the lineup sits a sensible, comfortable, midsize electric family SUV that competes with the Tesla Model Y and the Ford Mustang Mach E on range and price. At the top of the lineup sits a…
Chevrolet killed the Bolt in 2023. Then it changed its mind. The Bolt is back for 2027, it’s once again the most affordable new electric car you can buy in America, and here’s the twist that makes it interesting: Chevrolet has already announced when it plans to kill it again. This is one of the…
There’s a certain kind of car that never trends on social media, never wins a design award, and never inspires anyone to write poetry about it. It just shows up, does its job well, costs a reasonable amount of money, and asks for nothing in return. The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV is exactly that kind…
The knock against electric trucks has always been the same. Sure, they’re quick and quiet, but ask one to do actual truck things (tow a trailer, cover long distances, work for a living) and the range collapses and the anxiety sets in. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV was built specifically to make that criticism obsolete,…
Muscle cars are supposed to be loud, gas guzzling, and gloriously unnecessary. So when Dodge announced it was building an electric one, the muscle car faithful reacted roughly the way you’d expect if someone had proposed a decaf espresso or a silent rock concert. The whole point of a muscle car, the argument went, is…
When Ford announced it was putting the Mustang name on a four door electric crossover, the reaction from Mustang purists was somewhere between outrage and grief. The Mustang, they argued, was a two door, rear drive, gasoline powered muscle car with a growling engine and decades of heritage. Slapping that sacred name on a family…
There’s a particular kind of satisfaction in finding something that punches well above its price, the restaurant that serves food far better than the bill suggests, the hotel that feels grander than its rate. The Genesis Electrified GV70 is the automotive version of that feeling. Climb inside one, take in the diamond quilted leather and…
Genesis is Hyundai’s luxury brand, and in a remarkably short time it has gone from a newcomer nobody took seriously to a genuine thorn in the side of the established German luxury players. The GV60 is a big part of why. It’s the brand’s dedicated electric SUV, and rather than playing it safe, Genesis filled…
