While some might lament the loss of the gasoline engine, I would argue those people haven’t driven the all-new 2019 Jaguar I-Pace. My recent 2-day test was nothing short of amazing. For more detail, you can read my full first-look review, but for now, here are five things you need to know about the I-Pace. 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds The I-Pace is Jaguar’s first all-electric vehicle, and it comes equipped with a 90 kWh battery pack. This translates to 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. As Jaguar pointed out during its press preview, this is approaching supercharged V-8 territory. For comparison, the F-Type V-8 S delivers 495 horsepower and 460-pound feet of torque. It has a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.2 seconds. Jaguar hasn’t announced plans to have any alternative battery pack options at this time. 240 miles of range Range anxiety is real. And it will continue to … [Read more...] about 5 things to know about the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace

Mayday! Mayday! Against All Odds
Welcome Spring Showers and Thundershowers With any luck Mother Nature should take the edge off this dry phase: a few NOAA models print out over half an inch of rain tonight. A few isolated storms may approach severe limits today, but most of us will enjoy generic, garden-variety showers and T-storms, with a few showers straggling into Thursday before skies begin to dry out. Amazingly, the weekend looks pretty nice with 60s and a lack of weather-drama. ECMWF guidance hints at 80F early next week, and what may be the first real severe outbreak next Tuesday. We'll see. It may be wishful thinking but the GFS model shows 80s to near 90F by the middle of May; a month that's Time for a change in the weather. More Minnesota Lakes Experience Ice Outs.

What is the best plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle? The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
Without a doubt, today’s selection of cars, trucks and SUVs is the best one ever. Each year, carmakers improve their products and in-market consumers benefit from an ever-expanding array of comfort and convenience items, infotainment and safety systems, and performance and efficiency advancements. FOLLOW DAILY NEWS AUTOS ON FACEBOOK. 'LIKE' US HERE. Rarely, however, does a vehicle come along that resets the bar, significantly raising the standards that all other carmakers must meet in order to compete. The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is just such a car. The first car to offer more than 200 miles of driving range at a mass-market price, the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is a game-changer. The window sticker starts at $36,620, but the available $7,500 federal tax credit drops the price of the Bolt EV to less than $30,000. Up until the Bolt EV arrived, buyers of electric vehicles either had to put up with stopping to recharge every 100 miles or so, or step up to the luxury-priced Tesla … [Read more...] about What is the best plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle?

Review: 2018 Tesla Model X
Tesla’s first car was a 2-seat roadster based on a Lotus Elise, an example of which is now famously in orbit around the sun. It wasn’t until the debut of the groundbreaking Model S sedan, however, that Tesla became a household name. Since then, the company has established itself as both a successful automaker and a pioneer in the engineering of long-range electric vehicles. So what was the next logical step in a world gone mad for SUVs? Build one. With its signature gull wing doors, available room for seven passengers, and intimidating acceleration, the Tesla Model X is less a genuine SUV and more a rounded-off minivan, but it continues to cause a stir amongst the faithful even as the company ramps up production of its far more affordable, and smaller, Model 3 sedan. With a starting price of about $80,000, it would be easy to characterize the Model X as a competitor of high-end SUVs from Cadillac and Lincoln, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. But as a fully-electric crossover … [Read more...] about Review: 2018 Tesla Model X
