In-depth EV reviews by EV Rob.
Somewhere in a GMC engineering meeting, someone must have asked whether a truck really needs 1,000 horsepower, the ability to walk sideways like a crab, and a launch mode named after freedom. And somewhere in that same meeting, someone else clearly answered: yes, obviously, and add more. The Hummer EV is what happens when a…
GMC has two electric trucks, and they have very different personalities. The Hummer EV is the wild sibling, the one that walks sideways, launches like a rocket, and shows up to every gathering determined to be the center of attention. The Sierra EV is the other one, the sensible, capable, professionally minded truck that quietly…
Some cars are designed to blend in. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was designed to look like it drove straight out of a 1980s arcade cabinet, and I mean that as the highest compliment. With its sharp, angular body, its pixelated lighting that looks like it belongs on a screen with a high score counter, and…
Most electric performance cars go about their business the same way: silent, brutally quick, and weirdly clinical. You press the pedal, physics happens, and you arrive at the next corner having felt fast without feeling much of anything else. It’s impressive in the way a very fast elevator is impressive. Hyundai looked at that formula,…
For years, buying an electric SUV with three genuinely usable rows of seats meant one thing: spending a fortune. The only options were expensive luxury models like the Tesla Model X or the Rivian R1S, which put electric family hauling out of reach for most people. If you needed to carry seven people and wanted…
Plenty of electric SUVs claim to be adventure ready. They wear chunky plastic cladding, roof rails, and rugged looking bumpers, and then spend their entire lives on smooth suburban pavement, their all terrain pretensions never once tested. The Jeep Recon is a genuinely different animal, and it has the credentials to prove it. This is…
Most electric crossovers are appliances. Very good appliances, often, but appliances all the same, designed to move a family and their groceries efficiently from point A to point B without ever asking the driver to feel much of anything. The Kia EV6 is a genuine exception, and it’s the whole reason the car is worth…
Some cars try to dazzle you with a single standout feature, a headline horsepower number or a party trick, while quietly falling short everywhere else. The Kia EV9 does the opposite, and that’s exactly why the automotive press keeps falling over itself to praise it. It doesn’t have one flashy thing it’s best at. Instead,…
When the Lexus RZ first arrived in 2023 as the luxury brand’s first fully electric vehicle, it delivered nearly everything you’d expect from a Lexus. The build quality was excellent, the cabin was quiet and refined, the technology was easy to use, and it came loaded with standard equipment. There was just one genuine problem,…
For a while now, luxury buyers who wanted a genuinely spacious three row electric SUV have had a growing list of choices, from the Rivian R1S to the Volvo EX90 to the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9. Conspicuously absent from that list was Lexus, a brand that practically defined the luxury three row SUV…
