Porsche Swears the Cayenne Electric Hides Its Gigantic Weight

At 5,831 pounds (2,645 kilograms), the Cayenne Electric is Porsche’s heaviest production vehicle ever.

Ford finds its EV sales numbers in a tough spot. The news isn’t surprising, of course, as federal tax credits have disappeared. What is surprising, however, is the rise of gas-powered Mustang sales. In November, Ford sold nearly as many pony cars as it did EVs. I don’t just mean…

Look, I know SUVs are having one hell of a run. They’ve replaced sedans as the default automobile shape in many people’s minds, and they basically lead the industry in sales year after year. But if there are two things I’ve learned over three decades of being human, it’s that…

With the European Union breathing down automakers’ necks to slash emissions, the diesel engine is gradually fading.
