  1. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Are You An EV Owner, A Driver, Or An Advocate?

    With the US midterm elections just over two weeks away, Nikki has been thinking about how we see ourselves, and that led to a question she's been mulling over for a while: how do you view yourself in the EV world? Are you an EV owner, an EV driver...

  2. Transport Evolved Chicken and Garden Update: First Frost Warnings Of The Year!

    The first frost warnings of the year have arrived in the Pacific Northwest, but the garden is getting lots of mixed signals. Nights dipped to two or three degrees Celsius (36–37°F), yet days are back up to 25°C (77°F): the tomatoes are still flowe...

  3. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: How Do You Choose Where to Stop and Charge?

    Five or ten years ago, an EV road trip meant charging wherever there was a working charger. Today, at many stops there's a choice of networks within sight of each other. So on the way home from the Bay Area this week, faced with a construction sit...

  4. Transport Evolved Chicken and Garden Update: This Weather Isn't NORMAL!

    It's October in the Pacific Northwest, so where are the frosts? Back home from a hot trip to California, Nikki finds the garden still convinced it's summer: courgettes still swelling, tomatoes still flowering, new potatoes under the soil and rhuba...

  5. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Are You Worried About Buying Your Next EV?

  6. Transport Evolved Chicken and Garden Update: It's Time To Turn Off The Automatic Irrigation!

    It's October, the tomatoes are winding down, the stink bugs are moving in, and that can only mean one thing: it's time to take down the automatic watering systems for another year. And while Nikki is still recovering from last week's cold, her min...

  7. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Are Dealers Trying To Buy Your EV Back?

    While U.S. automakers - driven by the U.S. Government - seem hell bent on saying nobody wants EVs, we've noticed an increase in automakers and dealerships wanting to pester existing customers to buy back their cars... ostensibly for the used marke...

  8. Transport Evolved Chicken and Garden Update: The Potatoes Are STILL Flowering?

    It's the end of September, and things in the garden should be slowing down. But Nikki has one particular pot of potatoes which do not appear to have got the memo. And they're still flowering! About The Chicken and Garden Updates: These infor...

  9. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Is EV FUD Back?

  14. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Is Your Dash Intuitive?

  16. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Are Automakers Overselling On "Future Features"?

  22. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Are EVs Too Locked Down?

    Last week we were talking about automakers having access to YOUR data — this week, it's about them preventing you from getting it. Two weeks after she put the Open Vehicle Monitoring System into her Wife's Chevrolet Bolt EV as a way to regain data...

  23. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: Should Automakers Really Have Access To Your Data?

  42. Transport Evolved Sunday Musing: What's The Weirdest Reaction Been To Your EV?
