Volvo is celebrating its 100th anniversary with launch of a new, special edition Volvo FH16 Electric semi truck featuring special paint, interior upgrades, and a promise from the company to keep on keepin’ on for at least 100 more.

Somewhere, a guy in Pit Vipers is recording a Facebook video from the front seat of his pickup claiming that Chinese EVs aren’t just inferior to American V8 iron – they’re unsafe, too. Unfortunately for him, the latest EVs from GAC, Geely, and Leapmotor just aced the brutally demanding Euro NCAP safety tests.

There’s an impossible amount of good-looking girls in Sudbury, and an equally impressive wealth of high-grade nickel and copper ore living “just” 8,500 feet below the town’s surface, too – and Glencore Canada is sending a bunch of big EVs down to get it.

The University at Buffalo is celebrating the deployment of eight new 40-foot electric transit buses, which are now quietly transporting students, staff, and campus visitors per day. The buses are the first in UB’s Stampede fleet to ditch diesel, kicking off a four-year effort to electrify the university’s campus transportation system.

On today’s pressing episode of Quick Charge, we challenge the notion that all press is good press by filling the void of information surrounding this week’s Tesla Cybercab launch with a whole lot of bad news for the Full Self Driving brand.

Electric semi truck brand Windrose has developed an all-electric power take-off (PTO) that puts out up to 70 kW of power without burning a drop of diesel – and it could give his big BEV a real market advantage.
