Yes, this is also being followed by EVsoup, but I use mBlip more, and this is one of my personal favorites.
Welcome to Transport Evolved! Join us every day for content from Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield, Kate Walton-Elliott, Erin Carlie and Michael Horton as they explore and explain the world of cleaner, greener, safer, and smarter transport. Between us, we’ve got more than 20 years of driving cleaner, greener vehicles, and we believe that the future of transport depends on a whole lot more than one company!
From Tesla to Toyota and Faraday Future to Ford, we provide analysis and insight in a balanced and independent way.
From Transport Evolved. A few weeks ago, we made a video on the channel about Lidar – and its place in semi-autonomous vehicles. And in that video, Kate disclosed that both she and Nikki drive vehicles without LIDAR. So today, we thought it about time we give you an update on the Chevrolet Bolt EV…

From Transport Evolved. A few weeks back in TEN we covered a paper that explores a novel organic cathode for use in Sodium Ion batteries. A cathode that has the advantage of being made from super accessible and cheap materials, and potentially produces a battery with an incredible service life. Y’all asked us to look…
From Transport Evolved. At the end of March, Aptera made its first long-distance road trip of its production-intent solar electric car. Not only did it post some impressive efficiency figures (even if you take into account the net downhill nature of the route), but it showed how far the company’s progress toward market readiness has…

From Transport Evolved. Way back when Nikki picked up her original F150 Lightning in 2022, she earned some ‘points’ with Ford’s points program to spend on accessories and equipment at her local Ford dealership. And either through tackiness or boredom (we’re not entirely sure which), she opted to get a ‘free’ Putco Emblem (https://www.ford.com/product/lighted-ford-oval-front-halogen-led-reflector-for-vehicles-with-front-camera-p2797935143) –…
From Transport Evolved. The recent video from Mark Rober comparing a Tesla on Autopilot and a LiDAR equipped Luminar vehicle has led to a lot of comments online about Tesla’s camera only system being unsafe, or alternatively shouts of "fake news" from Tesla fans. So today we’re going to dig deep into camera based semi-autonomous…

From Transport Evolved. Nearly fifteen years ago, Nikki’s career as an automotive journalist was given a kick start when her friend Chelsea Sexton suggested she travel to London to meet with the then-editor-in-chief of automotive news site GreenCarReports. A lot has happened since then, but much of it would never have happened were it not…
From Transport Evolved. Today is Trans Day of Visibility, and, in a world where trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people are under attack across the U.S., we’ve decided to partner with Action For Trans Equality – a U.S. 501 (c)(3) to raise money for this important advocacy group. So, we’re holding an AMA session and…
From Transport Evolved. The Vectrix VX-1 project is edging ever-closer to the day we can actually put our new battery pack in and start riding – but in today’s update, Nikki explains in a little more detail what she’s been doing to charge the battery packs up, how she plans on compressing the battery pack…

From Transport Evolved. There’s a bit of a battle raging in the electric vehicle world – and it’s not over NACS and CCS – it’s about which battery technology should be the dominant one: 400 Volt or 800 Volt? But what’s the differences between 400 V and 800 V vehicles? Which are which? And are…

From Transport Evolved. We’re getting something of a reputation for covering the current destruction of the EV industry at the hands of President Donald Trump (and his co-president Elon Musk). So far, we’ve seen attempts made to end all EV tax incentives for citizens purchasing a new car. We’ve seen a halt to promised Federal…
From Transport Evolved. Last month, Nikki made a trip up to Seattle for a medical appointment and suffered a lot of problems finding working, non-vandalized charging stations. Many of you were upset she didn’t film the experience – and even went as far as to accuse her of lying. So when she had to make…

From Transport Evolved. Automakers have a nasty habit of not making their work-oriented vehicles available for journalists to try – and for the most part, automakers send us review vehicles that are as high-spec as possible. Which is why, last year, when we learned the Chevrolet Silverado EV WT wasn’t on Chevrolet’s press fleet, we…
From Transport Evolved. We’ve all been there – bought a product then found out something about the company that made us reconsider that purchase decision. When it’s something small or inconsequential we maybe just suck up the error and try not to do it again. But what do you do when the thing you’ve bought…
From Transport Evolved. *Editorial Note* In the time since making and publishing this video, the U.S. Department of Defense has said it has cancelled its plans to buy "Armored Electric Vehicles" From Tesla. As with any news cycle, we sadly can’t go back in time and edit this video. Welcome to today’s show! U.S. support…
From Transport Evolved. Earlier this week, as feared, the U.S. Federal Government halted the funding of all charging station deployments that were funded – or planned – under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure plan (AKA NEVI). Funded by money allocated in by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of November 2021, NEVI program funding…

From Transport Evolved. While we’ve stated that we do not plan on giving Tesla any coverage until it parts company with its CEO, the last few weeks in the U.S. have caused us at the channel to reach something of a tipping point – in which we have to ask why so many automotive journalists…

From Transport Evolved. In the ten days since taking office in the U.S., President Donald Trump has caused significant national and international fear as threats are issued, executive orders signed, and soundbites made. In the last few days, there’s been a rash of different, confusing executive orders, some of which originally planned to stop all…
