Genesis GV60 to gain wireless charging capability

When Genesis debuted the GV60 online last week, the accompanying press release hyped the Crystal Sphere that provides mood lighting on one side and a gear shifter on the other. Someone decided that was more important than wireless charging, a capability Green Car Reports discovered the GV60 will enable at some point next year. The GV60 is anticipated to go on sale in South Korea later this year and reach our shores sometime next year with conventional charging only. GCR says the wireless rollout will then begin in South Korea late next year with a pilot program to gather data.

Assuming the pilot program returns good news, it's not clear how much longer it would take for Genesis to expand the tech to other markets, or for the...

2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E To Boast Improved Range Over Current Model

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is the automaker’s first mass-produced all-electric vehicle, meaning that even though it’s been well-received thus far, there’s plenty of room for improvement. This much is obvious from former Ford engineer Sandy Munro’s recent assessment of the Mach-E following a complete teardown of the vehicle. And, as the owner of engineering consulting firm Munro & Associates, Inc. discovered from Mach-E chief engineer Donna Dickson recently, the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E will offer more range than the current model, too.

“These are the numbers where we’re at, but we have actions planned,” Dickson said. “It’s year-over-year improvement. So, we’ll go and get additional range-improvement actions coming in for ’22, we have more coming in for ’23, and more coming in for ’24.”

When even Dodge is planning an EV, internal combustion's days are numbered

This anecdote will date me: During the 1979 oil crisis, I was filling up my VW one day when an old guy on the opposite pump began bitterly cursing about having to pay $1.50 a gallon for gasoline — $5.60 in today’s money. He probably expected to hear a “damn right, mister,” but I nodded toward my car. Sure, I said, gas prices are nuts. But I get almost 30 mpg on the highway. If my choice is to walk 30 miles, a buck fifty still seems like a bargain.

This, of course, pissed him off even more.

One problem with humans is that our view of life is colored by where we’ve come from — our past experiences. As a kid, I remember “gas wars” in which competing stations sold regular for as little as 19.9 cents a gallon. That’s the world this man was from. He was driving some ‘60s or ‘70s beast that got 12 mpg. In postwar America, cheap gas and profligate burning of it were birthrights. So, he felt entitled...
