Welcome to Transport Evolved! Join us every day for content from Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield, Kate Walton-Elliott, Erin Carlie and Vi 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. 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…
From Transport Evolved. 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.

From Transport Evolved. The war between the US, 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 climbing to levels that are genuinely painful for a lot of households.

From Transport Evolved. The U.S. auto industry has spent decades building barriers to keep out cheaper, more efficient foreign cars—from Japan in the ’70s to South Korea in the ’90s. Today, those same protections are shielding legacy automakers from a new threat: China’s fast-rising electric vehicle giants. Under Donald Trump’s second presidency, those barriers are stronger…

From Transport Evolved.

From Transport Evolved. It’s a common misconception — and, in many cases among those who want to see EVs fail, an intentional falsehood — that EV battery packs require expensive replacements every few years, can’t be recycled, and simply don’t last long.
