Ford Patent Filed For Fleet Storage Management System

Ford has filed a patent for an innovative fleet storage management system aimed at optimizing the way electric vehicles (EVs) are parked and stored in commercial fleets. This system, which was filed in December 2022 and published in November 2024, could enhance fleet operations by managing the complex needs of EVs in a commercial environment. […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) often face criticism for losing range during the winter months due to cold temperatures and the energy demands of cabin heating and defrosters. While this drawback can limit the distance EVs can travel in colder weather, there’s an often-overlooked advantage that makes them an excellent choice for winter driving: superior traction and […]

The 2025 Ford E-Transit debuted this year, introducing an array of updates that continue Ford's commitment to advancing its electric van lineup. Originally launched in 2022, the E-Transit has already received several enhancements, including substantial upgrades as part of the 2024 model year. However, a significant change for 2025 is the removal of the standard-range […]

Ford EV owners now have a new and improved way to access Tesla’s Supercharger network thanks to a redesigned charging adapter developed in partnership with Lectron. This adapter bridges the gap between Ford’s Combined Charging Standard (CCS) plugs and Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) chargers. After an earlier batch of adapters faced reliability issues, […]

A recent study from the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center suggests that electric vehicle (EV) batteries could last up to 40% longer than previously believed, thanks to real-world driving habits. Published in Nature Energy, the research highlights that activities like stop-and-go traffic, highway cruising, short trips, and extended parked periods positively impact battery longevity. This discovery could […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) have long been perceived as having limited lifespans due to concerns about battery degradation and high replacement costs. However, mounting evidence suggests that EV batteries are far more durable than previously thought. Recent studies indicate that many EV batteries maintain over 80% of their original capacity even after a decade on the […]

Ford continues to refine its electric and gasoline-powered Transit lineup, bringing valuable updates to both the E-Transit and Transit vans for the 2025 model year. These rolling enhancements follow the recent improvements made to the E-Transit, including a larger battery, extended range, and faster charging times introduced in 2024. For 2025, Ford is focusing on […]

In the ever-evolving world of electric vehicles (EVs), the reliability and convenience of charging networks remain crucial for road-tripping success. YouTuber AgingWheels recently revisited a fascinating experiment to test how much progress has been made in EV charging infrastructure over the past year. In 2023, he took a Kia EV6 on a road trip from […]

As Tesla’s Supercharger network opens to more electric vehicle (EV) brands across North America, adapters allowing existing EVs to charge at these stations have surged in popularity. However, not all NACS to CCS DC fast charging adapters are created equal, and opting for cheaper, knockoff versions can pose serious risks. While these imitation products may […]

The prospect of replacing an EV battery has long been a concern for electric vehicle owners, especially those purchasing used models. However, recent advancements in battery technology and falling lithium prices are set to make EV ownership even more cost-effective. A report from battery health start-up Recurrent sheds light on how these trends will reshape […]
